Chemistry breakthrough could speed up drug development

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, nanotechnology

Scientists have successfully developed a new technique to reliably grow crystals of organic soluble molecules from nanoscale droplets, unlocking the potential of accelerated new drug development.

Chemistry experts from Newcastle and Durham universities, working in collaboration with SPT Labtech, have grown the small crystals from nanoscale encapsulated droplets. Their innovative method, involving the use of inert oils to control evaporative solvent loss, has the potential to enhance the development pipeline.

Whilst crystallization of organic soluble is a technique used by scientists all over the world, the ability to do so with such small quantities of analyte is ground-breaking.
