White Paper: Protect Scientific Intellectual Property
Today, insurance providers cannot adequately cover the risk of intellectual property loss. Because this risk is far too great for a company to assume, senior executives must consider their fiduciary responsibilities and take immediate action to mitigate the risk. The best way to do this is to ensure that the company can prove that the scientific records supporting its IP ownership claims are credible, authentic, and legally defensible.

Application Note: The Effect Of Consecutive Batch Processing On Particle Size And Thermal Behavior
Two controlled-release formulations (A & B) and one immediate-release formulation (C) were used in this study. Formulations and process parameters are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Formulations A and C were designed to produce large granules and formulation B was designed for small granules.
