Scaling Down and Powering Up: Driving Efficiency in Medicinal Chemistry Through Miniaturization

About this on demand webinar

This webinar explores how micro-scale synthesis is transforming Medicinal Chemistry workflows. By miniaturizing reactions, laboratories can reduce material usage, optimize compound storage, and introduce more automation-friendly processes that improve efficiency and scalability. 

In this session, you’ll hear how this transformation began at Boehringer Ingelheim, the operational efficiencies achieved through micro-scale adoption, how automation platforms and storage solutions were evaluated and selected, and what the roadmap looks like for scaling to meet future demands. 

Discover how thoughtful integration of synthesis, purification, storage, and data management can unlock a more agile and future-ready compound management strategy. 

Key topics

• Micropurification and the impact it has on downstream compound management  
• Selection of a storage tube to meet reaction size needs  
• Evaluating storage options based on capacity needs, size requirements, and product advantages  
• Integrating storage and tube selections into current compound management strategies while preparing for future   
• Concepts for a full integrated solution for data management and sample management around compound synthesis from design to library
