Hovione sponsors and participates at the XXVII National Congress of the Portuguese Chemistry Society with two scientific presentations:

Presentation 1

14 July, 16h10
Calorimetry of NBS in DMF: unstable or understudied?

Speaker: Elsa Gonçalves – Process Safety Scientist, Process Chemistry Development

Abstract: The presentation portrays the contribution of the Process Safety team to ensure the safety and improvement of the chemical processes being conducted at the Hovione plant. Elsa will present a recent case study in which the Process safety input was crucial for the optimization of the process, reducing its hazardous and increasing its efficiency.

Presentation 2

15 July, 16h30
Low-field Benchtop NMR for solvent swap analysis

Speaker: Marta Andrade – Scientist, Process Chemistry Development

Abstract: The presentation will show the results of an extensive study using a benchtop low-field NMR spectrometer (¹H-NMR, 43 MHz) to quantify solvents in 20 binary systems that are commonly used for swap process under API manufacture processes. The exciting results open the way to use benchtop low-field NMR as PAT tool for real time solvent swap in-process control, saving time and resources.
