Safety and environnement
Respecting our environment is one of our priorities and we are proud to belong to the Responsible Care program to upgrade our technologies and procedures. Sustainable development means a lot and particularly when it comes to perform chemical reactions. We are always checking the use of environmentally friendly reagents, we prefer the use of catalytic reactions and we maintain a high level of chemical knowledge in the company to ensure the best possible technology is used for each reaction we run.
Our effluents are stored in specific dedicated area before being treated by recognised and accredited companies for destruction.
Services
Custom Research
Typical R&D projects involving custom synthesis are those where there is an existing Med. Chem. route to prepare minute quantities of product but where time and quality are the main targets. We are very familiar with those projects and the fast pace required to make the Toxicology lots or early phase quantities and we can provide.
Process Research
We have an excellent track record of developments with big pharma and biotech companies that span from the simple single step transformation to the complicated 11 steps synthesis of derivatives of naturally occurring compounds.
