Bioreactor operation is based on the process kinetics and the fluid dynamics of the system. To control the process kinetics, methodologies are required to measure the concentration of the variables of state, such as biomass produced, substrate consumption, and products formed during the process. For this control, IPT is equipped Read more…
Increase of scale means to reproduce in larger size equipment the results obtained successfully on a smaller scale. The development of processes in bioreactors is generally carried out on three scales: bench scale, in which basic procedures and process parameters are developed; pilot scale, in which the operating conditions are Read more…
IPT is specialized in the culture of microorganisms of scientific, industrial and environmental interest. Microorganisms are preserved in lyophilized form, by ultra-freezing at -80°C and other alternative methods for specific strains. The Institute has a collection containing a variety of microorganisms for control, monitoring and validation (sterilization tests, autoclave validation, Read more…
Microencapsulation involves a group of specific techniques that allow for the preparation of functional particles, and consists of a support material (encapsulating agent) and an active compound distributed in its core. Microencapsulation technology requires extremely strict control of specific properties of the product, whose action is programmed or controlled. IPT Read more…
Examples of products in which contaminants have been identified include: automotive parts and vehicles beverages, food and others filters showing abnormally high concentrations of residues or sediments raw materials packaging textiles, papers, plastics and others industrial process wastes plastics with liquid coatings IPT characterizes contaminants in different materials, using infrared Read more…
Paper, textiles, and materials in powder and liquid readily absorb and retain odors, some of them difficult to characterize but perceptible to the human sense of smell. IPT’s laboratories are prepared to identify substances that can cause unusual odors in different types of materials, by comparing an odorless material of Read more…
According to Cofis Executive Act No. 13 (ADE No. 13) of March 13, 2006, beer and soft drink bottling establishments are obliged to install a Flow Metering System (SMV). The SMV must be composed of flow metering equipment, conductivity meters and apparatus for control, recording, saving and remote transmission of Read more…
IPT performs tests to determine the distribution of fatty acids in different materials such as soaps, vegetable and animal oils and mixtures, among other materials. The techniques it employs include derivatization (transformation of acids into methyl esters), mass spectrometry for identification and gas chromatography for quantification of the methyl esters Read more…
Tax classification of goods (Customs Code) is important not only to determine the tax rate involved in import and export operations and invoicing of industrial goods, but also especially for international trade, for purposes of statistical control and determination of administrative treatment requested for a given product. The importer, exporter Read more…
