Scale-up and advanced techniques
Our chemists combine scale-up expertise and advanced techniques to seamlessly transition your chemical projects from lab-scale to full-scale production.
Scale-up expertise
- Transition of compounds from milligrams to kilograms with route optimisation
- Route scouting and safe reagent alternatives (e.g. pyrophoric substances)
- Purification methods, that includes:
- Recrystallisation, chromatography and high-throughput preparative HPLC
- Chiral resolution for enantiomeric purity
- Collaborative analysis with certification of analysis (CoA) to maintain quality standards
- Building block synthesis, toxicological batches and GMP manufacturing.
Flow and photochemistry
- Customised photoreactors for batch and flow (photoflow) modes
- Precisely controlled reaction conditions for higher yields and reduced reaction times
- Advanced flow chemistry to efficiently handle unstable intermediates.
High-pressure reactions
- Gas reactions (e.g. hydrogenation) at up to 100 bar
- Reaction scale-up from milligrams to hundreds of grams
- Parallel chemistry for rapid optimisation and development.
Direct-to-biology (D2B)
- Plate-based synthesis of compound libraries with thousands of members
- Several well-established chemical transformations
- Rapid quality control (QC) of unpurified compounds prior to in-house or at-client testing.
