• Key Concepts: 
  A bench scale trial is a type of trial conducted in a laboratory setting to test the feasibility of a recipe or process. It is typically used to evaluate the performance of a product or process before it is scaled up for production. The bench scale trial is conducted on a small scale, using equipment and materials that are readily available in the laboratory.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Recipe Management, bench scale trials are used to evaluate the performance of recipes and processes before they are scaled up for production. The trial can be conducted using equipment and materials that are readily available in the laboratory. The results of the trial can then be used to make adjustments to the recipe or process before it is scaled up for production.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When conducting a bench scale trial, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary equipment and materials are available in the laboratory. It is also important to document all of the results of the trial so that they can be used to make adjustments to the recipe or process before it is scaled up for production.
