From Bench to Pilot Plant: Process Research in the Pharmaceutical Industry examines the bridges between research, product development and manufacturing. From Bench to Pilot Plant examines the transfer of small scale research results to a marketable product through stages of scale up and discusses how to alleviate the problems of high cost, environmental concerns and safety. Chapters include advances in technology of product development and transferring modern research methodologies to scale up and manufacturing.
