Daily new product development

Adoption and use of Flash Profiling in daily new product development a testimonial... 

As the protective barrier between the body and the external environment, the skin is exposed to potentially damaging chemicals on a daily basis. It has been estimated that approximately 80,000 chemicals are in common use worldwide [5] and new products are being continuously introduced. Chemical production for most countries increased in 2004 with an increase in the total production index for all chemicals of 2.9% in the United States, 4.3% in the United Kingdom, and 6.8% in Canada [6], As new products are being developed and chemical production increases, toxicologists are faced with the need to develop improved methods for evaluating the potential of these chemicals to induce contact dermatitis. 

The first electrochemical cells were developed during the 1800s. Electrochemical cells are arrangements of electrodes and sources of ions that either generate electric current from a chemical reaction, or alternatively, use electricity to drive a chemical reaction. Today these cells find applications in daily life, such as in the batteries that power your car or cell phone. Today electrochemistry still constitutes an important field of research and is one that will likely continue to lead to the development of new products and technologies. 

High-pressure homogenizers were developed approximately 100 years ago [1] during the industrialization. The basic idea of combining a high-pressure pump and a disruption system, like a valve, was presented on the universal exposition in Paris and endures to date. However, we see ongoing developments of the pumps and valves motivated either by daily application problems or new product challenges. 

Working toward the environmental objective is integrated in the daily work of developing new products.
