Methods of catalytic process characterization using a reaction system having two or more reaction strands in a parallel arrangement, wherein each reaction strand has multiple series-connected reaction chambers or a single reaction chamber. Each reaction strand is supplied with a reactant stream subjected to process stages. Product streams discharged from the reaction strands are subjected to an analytical characterization, wherein the data achieved in the characterization are expressed in relative terms including the forming of a difference.

The present invention is concerned with a process for providing a homogeneous particle-containing slurry comprising the steps of: (a) providing a vessel comprising at least one impeller rotating around a vertical axis of the vessel, wherein a rotational speed n.sub.1 of the at least one impeller is higher than n.sub.min according to equation (1), the vessel further comprising an inlet and an outlet; (b) introducing a particle-containing slurry into the vessel or introducing components forming the particle-containing slurry into the vessel; (c) rotating the at least one impeller at least around the vertical axis for homogenizing and/or maintaining a homogeneous particle distribution within the slurry; (d) withdrawing the homogeneous particle-containing slurry via the outlet; (e) reducing the rotational speed n.sub.1 of the at least one impeller to a reduced rotational speed n.sub.red, whereas n.sub.red is lower than n.sub.1 and higher or equal gas inlet than n.sub.min according to equation (1): $\begin{array}{cc}{n}_{\min }=\frac{{\mathrm{Sv}}^{0.1}{D_p^{0.2}\left(g\frac{\Delta \rho }{{\rho }_f}\right)}^{0.45}{B}^{0.13}}{D_a^{0.85}}.& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

A chemical synthesis platform based on a particularly simple chip is described herein, where reactions take place atop a hydrophobic substrate patterned with a circular hydrophilic liquid trap. The overall supporting hardware (heater, rotating carousel of reagent dispensers, etc.) can be packaged into a very compact format (about the size of a coffee cup). We demonstrate the consistent synthesis of [.sup.18F]fallypride with high yield, and show that protocols optimized using a high-throughput optimization platform we have developed can be readily translated to this device with no changes or reoptimization.

Disclosed herein are cell processing systems, devices, and methods thereof. A system for cell processing may comprise a plurality of instruments each independently configured to perform one or more cell processing operations upon a cartridge, and a robot capable of moving the cartridge between each of the plurality of instruments.

The present invention features a versatile continuous manufacturing platform for cell-free chemical production.

The optimization support device includes a first conversion unit that converts an operating condition parameter indicating an operating condition of a process for producing a product into a state parameter indicating a state of the process, and a second conversion unit that converts the state parameter into a quality parameter indicating a quality of the product.

The present teachings relate to a method for monitoring and/or controlling a production process for manufacturing at least one industrial product at an industrial plant comprising at least one equipment by processing at least one input, the method comprising: receiving, via an input inter-face, real-time process data from the equipment; determining, via the computing unit, a subset of the real-time process data; providing as output data the subset of the real-time process data. The present teachings also relate to a system, a use, and a software product.
