Route scouting
Viable, cost-effective synthetic routes
Literature and patent review, route evaluation against cost, safety and raw material availability, and lab validation of shortlisted paths.
What we do
Contract R&D Services
From a first route to a process your plant can run.
Clients can enter at any stage and stay with us through to transfer.
Capabilities
Our Services
Custom synthesis
Molecules made to your specification
Multi-step synthesis, reference standards and samples — finding the right way to make a molecule, then making it.
Process development
Robust, economical and safer processes
Optimisation for yield, purity and cost per kilo; greener solvent and reagent choices; and process safety before plant trials.
Scale-up and pilot plant
Chemistry proven at pilot scale
Pilot plant batches confirm performance and reduce risk before commercial production.
Formulation
Stable products built for end-use performance
New formulations, reformulation of restricted or costly ingredients, stability studies and application testing.
Analytical and testing
Methods, characterisation and quality control
Analytical method development, structure and impurity profiling, batch release and specification checks.
Regulatory support
Data and documentation for registrations
Technical dossiers and supporting data alongside your development programme.
Technology transfer
Handover packages for your plant or CMO
Results and documentation prepared for a confident move into manufacturing.
Working together
