Why use pilot studies?
Pilot studies are a critical step for your purification process development. Pilot units are used to test the feasibility of your process, to define key parameters for process scale-up or even for a small production. You can also optimize your existing process to improve or upgrade it.
To reach your process development goals, Novasep provides 2 complementary offers depending on your needs:
- If you need a full support for your process development, entrust the realization of your pilot studies to Novasep's piloting services
- If you prefer to carry out your pilot studies on your own, get a performant pilot unit from Novasep
