Organic Process Research and Development (OPRD)
The OPRD event focuses on Organic Process Research and Development and includes presentations and case studies from top international process chemists. The latest issues relating to synthetic route design, development and optimization, and the scale-up of these processes in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries will be discussed.

Today, pharmaceutical and fine chemical companies face major challenges posed by globalization, environmental regulation, and shortened product life cycle that affect all aspects of their business. The research and development of an optimized chemical synthesis route must be carried out in less time and with less chemical waste to ensure a robust and economic process that can be efficiently scaled to manufacturing while meeting constraints related to product yield and purity, process and worker safety, and environmental concerns.

METTLER TOLEDO provides a range of enabling solutions to aid organic synthesis research and development. 

Process Development and Scale-up
Process development in the chemical industry has the challenge of not only anticipating the future with product innovations, but also enhancing current processes to make them safe and economical. Ethical, moral and financial reasons require that environmental protection issues and environmental compatibility no longer be ignored. These aspects are tied together in a triangular relationship: the Safety, Economy and Environmental compatibility of a chemical process. Therefore, the main criteria of effective Process Development is a deep and comprehensive knowledge of the process involved.
