A Flow Chemistry Technology Hub (FCT Hub) initiated by Telangana government with the involvement of multi-stakeholders has opened in Hyderabad.
Equipped with state-of-the-art flow chemistry equipment, the Hub, at the Dr. Reddy’s Institute of Life Sciences (DRILS), will provide hands-on training and promote scientific capability building to ensure greater incorporation of flow chemistry techniques in pharma research and development as well as adoption of continuous synthesis for manufacturing of active pharma ingredients (APIs).
The Hub is expected to be a key enabler in adoption of flow chemistry from laboratory to manufacturing and transition to more modern approaches to pharmaceutical manufacturing. Training and scientific capability building for flow chemistry and continuous manufacturing involving reactions of particular importance to pharma industry would be planned, a release from Industries and IT Minister K.T.Rama Rao’s office said on the inauguration of the facility.
