A practical guide to architecting multi‑stage distillation trains — when to use wiped‑film, short‑path, or both. Covers train archetypes, instrumented yield accounting, cleanability‑by‑design, operational recipes for fouling inputs, and where to invest for ROI. Includes recommended gear and SOP checklist for fast changeovers.

A practical guide to retrofitting and specifying wiped‑film evaporator (WFE) trains for measurable yield accounting, inline color control, and validated cleanability. Covers sensor placement, sampling strategy, CIP design, data dashboards, and implementation timelines for lab-to-pilot wiped‑film systems.

A practical guide for lab managers and operations leaders on implementing a hybrid HPLC strategy—portable instruments at the line and bench-top HPLC in QA/QC—to balance speed, cost, and defensibility in potency testing across production stages.

This in-depth blog explores how modern precision circulators transform decarboxylation, turning a critical step rife with quality and safety risks into a repeatable, high-yield process. Topics include circulator system design, PID tuning, bath fluid selection, VOC management, decarb ramp recipes, validation protocols, and practical SOPs — all tied to real pitfalls in thermal workflows. Discover how Urth & Fyre helps operators select and deploy high-precision gear like the Julabo SL-12 for consistent results and safe, compliant lab operations.

A deep dive into solvent recycling economics for labs and manufacturers: this guide walks decision-makers through TCO, regulatory, and safety factors when choosing between on-site solvent distillation, vendor recycling, or waste outsourcing. Learn industry best practices, ROI metrics, and how Urth & Fyre can help optimize your entire solvent recovery chain.

This blog post delivers practical, specification-focused startup strategies to prevent fouling and downtime in wiped-film/short-path evaporators. It breaks down the main causes—feed viscosity, solids, degassing, and thermal stress—while providing actionable SOPs around preheating, pressure ramping, feed strategy, and wiper speeds. Industry benchmarks, energy use, modular specs, gear pump integration, and Urth & Fyre product matching are included for extraction directors and process engineers making buying and operational decisions.

A comprehensive guide for lab managers, extraction techs, and safety officers on implementing true solvent spill resilience for rotovap and wiped-film distillation. This post covers how to engineer spill-proof workspaces, select compatible containment and absorbents per NFPA 30, and develop audit-ready response SOPs.
