Join us for a one-day workshop focused on modern strategies for crystallization process optimization and particle engineering. This event will bring together experts from industry and academia to discuss current challenges and practical approaches for developing robust crystallization processes.
Time and location:
Thursday, 11 June 2026
09:00 – 17:00
Rowan University, New Jersey, USA
About:
This workshop will focus on modern approaches to crystallization process optimization and particle engineering, highlighting practical strategies and recent advances in the field. Through expert presentations and real-world examples, participants will gain insights into improving crystallization workflows, controlling particle characteristics, and addressing common challenges in process development.
While the event is not commercially-oriented, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the crystallisation instruments and technologies that Technobis supplies, demonstrated in a scientific context.
