Modular flow leads to better drugs
In batch production, all chemical ingredients are combined in a single vessel – a batch reactor. In typical batch processes, mass and heat transfer distances are relatively long, meaning molecular conditions may change over time. Conditions can also vary from one batch to another, which may lead to inconsistencies in product quality. Once production has started, modifying a batch can be challenging and time consuming.
