The reactor, donated by Corning, is noted for its ability to provide continuous and efficient mixing and heating at a lab and industrial scale, even with difficult chemical reactions. \n\n\u0022We are starting to see more and more continuous manufacturing of chemicals and pharmaceuticals because it provides lower cost and higher quality products. For the chemists and chemical engineers it opens up a whole new world of chemical pathways that are not possible with the use of ordinary batch equipment,\u0022 said Charles Liotta, regents\u0027 professor and interim chair, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology.\n\n\u0022We are very excited that Georgia Tech has chosen to use our technology in its notable program,\u0022 said Dr. Gary Calabrese, vice president, Science and Technology, Corning Incorporated. \u0022Corning\u0027s reactor technology is now being readied for deployment in manufacturing locations around the world. The new chemistry that Georgia Tech develops using the Corning Advanced-Flow reactor can have very significant practical impact,\u0022 Calabrese added.\n\n\u0022A fundamental cultural feature of Georgia Tech is the emphasis on interdisciplinary research.  The combination of chemistry and chemical engineering in the development of new chemical processes employing the Corning Advanced-Flow glass reactor will create new learning experiences for our graduate and undergraduate students,\u0022 said the J. Erskine Love, Jr., Professor of Chemical Engineering, Charles Eckert.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Corning Provides Equipment to Advance Research"}],"field_summary":[{"value":"Georgia Institute of Technology Professors Charles L.
