Creative Enzymes

Enzymes are known to aid food processing in a wide variety of applications, for example manufacturing of cheese, vinegar and wine; leavening of bread; brewing of beer and so on. In these processes enzymes help to save energy and resources, as well as improve the overall efficiency. In many instances, the use of enzymes has been proved to decrease the volumes and toxicity of byproducts and effluents. Creative Enzymes provides a wide range of products including high purity enzymes and custom blends, which can be readily used in food and beverage processes. https://www.creative-enzymes.com/cate/Food-And-Beverage-Applications_108.html

Analytical Cannabis 

Speaking at the Analytical Cannabis Expo West Online 2021 in April, Wallace Harvey from Sartorius explored moisture content in cannabis.

Determining the moisture content of cannabis and products derived from it is critical throughout the entire manufacturing process - from harvesting to packaging of the finished product.  Water content influences a variety of factors including – product weight, active ingredient concentrations (THC), shelf life, susceptibility to contamination, flavor profiles, product consistency and more.  Excess moisture can subject cannabis and related products to a higher risk of microbial contamination, including bacteria, fungi, and various forms of yeast.  Contamination due to elevated moisture levels can thus prematurely shorten the shelf life of cannabis products. Consequently, an accurate analysis of moisture content in cannabis ensures product safety, as well as compliance with numerous state and local regulations. 

Various methods can be used to determine the moisture content. Common methods are Karl Fischer titration and the loss-on-drying method, which can be very time-consuming. 
In this study, we compare the classical oven (loss-on-drying) method with the infrared method, in which two moisture analyzers, Mark3 HP and MA160 from Sartorius, are tested with regard to analysis times and result precision as a function of both sample quantity and initial moisture content. The analysis of the results can assist those looking to optimize moisture determination in their cannabis products with regards to operating efficiencies and sample consumption. With the growing legality of cannabis and related products, the need for moisture-content analysis will surely increase. As a result, cannabis industry professionals will require easy, accurate, and fast methods of moisture analysis that can handle increasing levels of sample throughput.

Radleys

In this video, Dr Nilesh Mistry gives you an introduction to the Radleys parallel synthesis range and an insight into how they may help your small molecule synthesis projects. 

Working on small molecule discovery, reaction optimisation or reagent screening? 
Need to increase your experimental throughput without compromising on your set-up? 
Want to perform multiple reactions in parallel, but have limited fume hood space? 

Chemists and engineers at GlaxoSmithKline were instrumental in developing a range of clever parallel synthesis tools designed to tackle performing multiple reactions on one magnetic stirrer hot plate. 

Developed in a partnership between GSK chemists and Radleys engineers: The Radleys Carousel 12, Radleys Carousel 6 and the Radleys GreenHouse parallel synthesiser and blowdown unit are easy to use, perform multiple reactions, fit on a standard magnetic stirrer hot plate and take up less space than multiple individual set-ups. 

Parallel synthesis tools are a great addition to your chemistry lab equipment and ideal for the following organic and inorganic chemistry applications: medicinal chemistry, reaction screening, combinatorial chemistry, catalyst screening, drug discovery, parallel solution phase chemistry, solid supported reagent based synthesis and much more. 

Heat, cool, stir and reflux multiple reactions under an inert atmosphere on a single magnetic stirrer hot plate. 

Carousel 12 Plus Reaction Station: 
The patented Carousel 12 Plus simultaneously heats/cools, stirs and refluxes multiple reactions under an inert atmosphere. An effective personal synthesis station for parallel chemistry and solid supported reagent screening synthesis.
