PRODUCTS

  • The Sensors Unlimited 1280JSX-10µm VIS/SWIR digital video camera, developed by Raytheon’s RTX Business unit, is a next-generation high-definition imaging solution optimized for covert surveillance and low-light applications.

  • Every capsule and tablet begins with an idea. It takes a professional and innovative manufacturing partner to turn that idea into a reality. Enter Natoli, a name synonymous with excellence in pharmaceutical equipment and services. From the early stages of formulation to the grand scale of full-blown production, Natoli offers a seamless journey through every step of the process. Whether you’re unsure of how to start or how to finish, Natoli can guide the way.

  • Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are the emerging class of anti-cancer therapeutic drugs. ADCs combine an antibody capable of recognizing cancer cells and cytotoxic small-molecule drugs via cleavable or non-cleavable linkers, thereby transforming the 3-unit combination into a targeted therapeutic drug for cancer treatment. In recent years, ADCs have rapidly developed and there are not only more than 14 approved drugs on the market but also many investigational drugs undergoing clinical trials. Furthermore, ADCs have shown potential for treating various diseases beyond cancer, such as Autoimmune disorders, Infectious diseases, Inflammatory conditions and so on.  

  • Simplify and intensify upstream bioprocessing. The XCell® ATF System, in single-use or stainless steel format, delivers superior cell retention. High impact upstream applications include N-1 perfusion, high productivity harvest, long-term perfusion and seed train intensification.

  • A premium dual energy x-ray inspection system offering outstanding detection of hard-to-find, low density contaminants, in a variety of applications. Available in standard and custom configurations.

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.
