PRODUCTS

  • Germfree’s Compounding Aseptic Containment Isolators use HEPA filters to provide the highest level of operator and product protection.

  • The MMIQA-0626HPSM is a broadband IQ mixer with an integrated broadband LO driver amplifier that is ideal for IQ, single sideband, and image reject mixing applications with wide bandwidths.

  • Neither traditional nor hybrid clinical trials can operate on rigid EDC systems.

    They require flexible data collection systems that support protocol amendments without downtime and accept mobile data without hassle. As a cloud-native solution, TrialKit bends to accommodate mid-study changes. And as the first full-featured EDC platform available as a native mobile app, TrialKit flexes to meet the demands of traditional, hybrid/decentralized, and completely remote clinical trials.

    Give your team the freedom to build, deploy, and manage their studies, their way—weeks faster than with rigid EDCs and for a fraction of the cost of the major players.

  • Go from assay to insights quickly and reliably with ImageXpress imaging systems and IN Carta software.

  • Discover agile labeling and packaging services for pharmaceuticals, specializing in custom designs, regulatory support, and small to medium batch production with quick turnaround times.

Catalysts

Catalysts work by changing the structure of a molecule or by bonding to reactant molecules causing them to combine, react, and release a product or energy.  For example, a catalyst is required in order for oxygen and hydrogen to bond, combine and produce water.

Catalysts increase the rate of chemical reactions. Unlike a reagent that gets consumed as apart of the chemical reaction, catalysts do not get consumed in the reaction. They can actually participate in multiple chemical transformations.Catalysts can be organic, synthetic or metal.

All processes need energy to take place. Processes require a very high level of energy in order to spark or start if a catalyst isn’t present.  When a catalyst is present the amount of energy required to spark the reaction is lowered and that makes the reaction happen faster and more efficiently.

Catalytic effects vary depending on other substances present that are a part of the chemical reactions. There are certain substances that can inhibit the effectiveness of a catalyst like poisons, and other substances that promote or increase the effect of the catalyst.  Inhibitors or negative catalysts are very important in medicine to treat mental illnesses, high blood pressure, cancer and many other diseases.

Catalysts are often used to help crack, or split, larger organic molecules like hydrocarbons into simpler molecules. It does this by breaking carbon-carbon bonds. The speed of the splitting process depends heavily on what specific catalyst is used and the temperature.  Applications of this technology include oil and petrochemical industries.
