  • In today’s complex clinical research landscape, sponsors and CROs face numerous challenges that can impact study timelines, costs, and data quality. The iMednet platform offers innovative solutions to address these critical issues.

  • Experience higher data quality, retention and participant compliance by providing a truly engaging experience from data submission to reminders, appointment management, telemedicine and more -- from the phone, tablet, or desktop.

  • Natoli Scientific takes pride in its comprehensive USP<1062> Tablet Compression Characterization services, tailored to address the complexities of tableting in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Staying true to the parameters outlined in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapter 1062, our approach meticulously evaluates tablet compression behaviors. By thoroughly characterizing the compression profile, we can pinpoint the optimal compression force required to form a cohesive tablet without applying undue stress that could lead to capping — the separation of tablet tops during or after the compression phase.

  • CS, MS, VI: Our basic platforms for automatic high-speed inspection of vials, ampules, cartridges, and syringes

    All three standard machines inspect up to 600 containers/minute, in addition to vials, ampules, cartridges, and syringes with liquid contents, as well as vials with lyo product. Depending on the inspection requirements, we can integrate any inspection technology of our Seidenader Solutions and add a machine module for leak testing.

  • Understanding the fine details of powder properties is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry, where the behavior of particulate matter can affect manufacturability and the efficacy of the final product.

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.
