This transition, known as <strong data-start=\"462\" data-end=\"474\">scale-up<\/strong>, is one of the most challenging steps in the journey from lab idea to industrial process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"911\">At the heart of this process lies the glass reactor. Transparent, chemically resistant, and flexible, glass reactors are the backbone of early-stage experimentation.
