What is "Custom Synthesis"

Custom Synthesis ( in German Auftragssynthese) is used for the production of organic drug compounds to the specification of the client for the their specific development and research needs.
Custom synthesis projects typically have a well-defined synthetic procedure requiring quantities of 1 - 100 g which support ongoing development efforts. Additional tasks include:
  • Scale-up an existing literature- or customer-applied synthesis
  • Optimization of the chemical procedure for better efficiency
  • Designing a new synthesis

Who can use "custom synthesis" service?

You are probably in charge of procuring standards for the bioanalytical department of your firm. You might be a forensic scientist, analytical chemist, pharmacologist or medicinal chemist, working in a drug-testing lab, clinical research firm, and university or research institute. You would prefer to buy the compound you need from a catalog, but you have drawn a blank. Your study depends on the acquisition of the compound and you are prepared to invest to solve the problem, depending on your expectation and technology.
