10:15am An Integrated Workflow Optimized to Accelerate Polymorph Screening
and Salt Selection
Sheila Colby, Ph.D. Application Manager, Symyx Technologies, Inc.
Extensive pre-formulation studies are needed to select the most stable and bioavailable
form of a drug substance. However, such studies are typically conducted when
precious little drug substance is available. Components of an integrated workflow
optimized to enable high-throughput polymorph and salt selection studies will
be demonstrated. As a result of using the workflow, researchers can now explore
a broader experimental design space, in parallel, with less starting material.

3:00 Integrated Sample Preparation: How to Enable Higher Throughput
Solubility and Stability Experiments while Retaining Your Manual Accuracy
Craig Wolfangel, Life Sciences Application Manager, Symyx Technologies,
Inc.
Most labs today are facing increasing pressure to run more samples, on more
techniques and methods, more efficiently, and to make results available quicker.
The use of automation and integration offers the ability to rapidly prepare
samples in a more consistent fashion for a variety of methods and procedures.
See how to effectively prepare and workup samples of powders, slurries, solutions,
and viscous liquids on a single automation platform; achieving more consistent
routines and improvements in throughput while maintaining required analytical
accuracy.

11:05 Versatile Automated Powder Dispensing
Pascal Desponds, Powder Dispense Product Manager, Symyx Technologies, Inc.
Most labs in life-science, chemical, semi-manufacturing, food and academia are
facing the dispensing of powders in formulation, development or preparation
as tedious, difficult, and potentially hazardous process. The use of automation
and workflow integration offers the ability to repeat rapidly the dispense of
powders precisely and without error. In the powder dispensing process, successful
automation needs to demonstrate reliability and traceability, as well as ease
of use. See how automation solutions are capable of dispensing powders with
unmatched versatility to overcome a wide range of powder types and receptacles.

1:45 Consumer and Product Attributes Through Fundamental Measurements;
Coating and Polymer Properties Characterization
in High-Throughput
Jeff Yoder, Ph.D., Application Manager, Symyx Technologies, Inc.
Formulators and product development scientists are under increasing pressure
to deliver new or improved consumer benefits across their company’s brands.
Potential consumer benefits can often be inferred or predicted through the measurement
of fundamental properties such as tack, coefficient of friction, and wear and
solvent resistance. See how automated solutions can enable you to coat materials
such as cosmetics, paints, emulsions, and others on a variety of substrates
and measure fundamental properties of materials in the coated films. The benefits
are increased understanding of your products and faster time to market with
new materials.
