How important is mixing in your reaction? If you missed @Asynt’s webinar last week, featuring @reid_indeed from Kineticolor discussing the importance of agitation and process optimisation, you can watch it on our YouTube channel here: 🔗 youtu.be/jO2lfF6b77o?is=ouIj… #MixingMatters – at Kirklington, England
