Product DevelopmentViridisChem’s® Chemical Analyzer offers chemical toxicity awareness during early product development. and where toxic chemicals are used, it identifies functionally similar less toxic reagents and solvents that can replace the toxic chemical. This automatically results in minimum toxic waste generation, and safer-greener product development.
How: Utilizing its AI-powered “Advanced Search” feature, the Chemical Analyzer helps you describe the functionality the target toxic reagent is used for, or allows you to select from list of chemicals of specific class or type (oxidizing or reducing agent, plasticizers, etc.). You can also specify what health-safety issues you would like to avoid (eye irritant, carcinogenic, etc.) or identify what specific industry uses to address a specific functionality.
Results include the list of chemicals that match the search criteria along with their toxicity scores, sothat that you can select the least toxic reagent.
End Result: During product development, most times scientists know that toxic chemicals are being used to develop the end product. But finding functionally similar less toxic chemicals they can replace the toxic chemical with without compromising the production quality is a challenge. Using Chemical analyzer, scientists can define better processes from the get-go, avoiding costly late-stage changes.
"The toxicity scores are helpful for comparison. A lot of times I'll present this data internally and it's nice to have that already done for me. I can just put the structures in. And I get that output."
