Internship #13: Tuesday, January 26
The process for making a chemical begins here. The chemical fume hood. This is where chemists begin to combine compounds and mixtures into a new chemical or substance.
Moving forward a few steps, we move onto the Screening Room. This is where chemicals or substances are taken to see if they have any bioactivity. Bioactivity meaning if it will have an effect on an organism or if it will not.
The final step before complete manufacturing of a chemical is the Chemical Processing Plant. This is where processing on a large scale happens. To see if a chemical or substance can withstand being in such a large amount or to transfer it into tablet, pill, or gel form.
