International Conference on High Throughput Formulation Technologies

07.12.2004 - 08.12.2004, Frankfurt am Main

Invitation

Process industries and chemical manufacturers in particular are faced with increasing pressure to implement fast, low cost and environmentally friendly processes to yield new products for a highly competitive marketplace. Speciality products have to be synthesised ready-for-use, often in low volumes and with decreasing product development life cycles.

This pressure has led to a high demand for fast, parallel, "High Throughput Technologies" (HTT) for synthesis and screening. Since they first emerged in the mid-1980s in the life science industry, these technologies have been adopted by several other R&D areas including materials and catalyst development.

However, examples of HTT in formulation R&D applications (e.g. in the food, detergent, cosmetic or paint industry) are little publicised. This conference aims to demonstrate the immense potential of HTT for formulation applications. During the event discussions will be stimulated to identify current R&D gaps and needs relating to HTT in formulation applications, and find new solutions for applying this technology across the various industries.

DECHEMA and InsightFaraday would like to invite you to participate in the 1st International Conference dedicated to High Throughput Formulation Technologies.

Join the experts in the application of High Throughput Formulation Technology to polymer science, inorganic materials, colloids, catalysis, and pharmaceuticals.

Who Should Attend?

Research scientists, laboratory managers and technology suppliers interested in speeding up formulation development processes through the use of combinatorial approaches, laboratory automation and informatics tools.

Why Should You Attend?

The conference will provide an excellent opportunity for delegates to learn about existing applications of High Throughput Formulation Technologies, to talk directly to experts in this field and to stimulate ideas for innovative applications. Technology providers will benefit from access to new markets and partnerships in relatively unexploited technology areas, and from knowledge exchange with other experts.
