Collaboration Enables Faster Time To Market
By Herman Mitchell, Life Science Leader magazine
Whether generic or branded, in the high-stakes race to bring a therapeutic drug to market, manufacturers are engaged in two simultaneous challenges.


Why Six Sigma Equals Failure For Life Sciences
By Kronos, Inc.
To avoid giant recalls, today's life sciences companies are actively pursuing Six Sigma as a methodology for reducing errors, optimizing quality, and ensuring that their products are as safe — and as profitable — as possible.


An Efficient Synthesis Of Methyl 2-Methoxy-4-Amino-5-Chloro-Benzoate-(Carbonyl-14C)
By Analytical Bio-Chemistry Laboratories (ABC Labs)
Methyl 2-Methoxy-4-Amino-5-Chloro-Benzoate- [Carbonyl-14C] (MMACB-14C) is an important intermediate in the synthesis of several Carbon-14 labeled APIs. Compound 1 was needed as an intermediate for a synthesis that required seven additional steps that resulted in an overall yield of 36%. A better route was required to make the synthesis more efficient.


Invacare Streamlines Complaint Management With Sparta Systems

Application Note: Industrial Boiler Blowdown Control Using Conductivity
In boiler operation, the evaporation of steam leaves behind an increasing concentration of minerals in the water that become corrosive and/or scale producing. Corrosion leads to boiler tube failures, down time, and very expensive repairs.

White Paper: Universal Search In Life Sciences Organizations
While many pharmaceutical and biotech companies, makers of medical supplies and devices, and other life sciences organizations enjoy high profit margins, public concern about rising drug and health care costs are causing them to be increasingly cost conscious.
