PDR-Separations develops, manufactures, supports unique advanced instruments, systems, & processes for automated method development, purification, & process monitoring & control; at any scale.
PDR supports deterministic & automated “assembly line” procedures from molecule development to purified molecules by:
(a) Rapidly screening separation methods,
(b) Selecting the best method for purification pragmatically, and then
(c) Purifying from milligrams to tons efficiently and with as much automation as possible.
AutoPDR software has an easy-to-understand chromatographic-only user interface that is not dependent on hardware devices. Chromatographic parameters and commands are translated into hardware commands by device-specific drivers, simplifying method transfer and staff training — the user interface is always the same regardless of hardware devices.
In many cases, we use your existing pumps & UV detectors with our hardware modules and software to configure a new system with improved capabilities and walk-away automation.
DALP (digital advanced laser polarimeter) accurately measures optical activity is chiral compounds, antibiotics, sugars, etc.
Spectral Deconvolution mathematically separates compounds and plots compound concentrations in real-time.
Gary W Yanik has extensive expertise developing & manufacturing advanced systems by creatively applying physics, math, engineering, software, & chemistry. Skills include optics/lasers, electronics, mechanics, magnetics, software, etc. Application skills include method development, purification, & process control in liquid separations HPLC/UHPLC, SFC, CCC/CPC, SMB/MCC, Pat, etc.
BS in Physics, Math, Chemistry at U of Michigan; Engineering Management at CalTech. Developed: instrumentation to accurately measure g-factor of positrons (anti-particles); photon-counting imaging spectrometers & polarimeters for characterizing distant galaxies & expansion of Universe; multi-sensor suites for detection & tracking of ballistic missiles (SDI); laser radar guidance systems for cruise missiles; spectrometers, injectors, collectors, pumps, etc.
