Chemical consulting

Bringing a new chemistry-based product to market under a purchased licence? If you have doubts about the validity of the licensor’s data, it’s worth running chemical process due diligence before major capex, scale-up, or plant build, so you don’t invest heavily in a technology that later doesn’t work.

To make that decision easier, we review your licensed data and run a focused literature review using specialist chemical databases, publicly available sources, and our expert network. You receive a clear report with findings, improvement suggestions, and a proposed set of experiments to further verify the data, plus regular online calls and updates. If deeper verification is needed, we can transition into contract research and carry out the chemical experiments to confirm the licensed data.

Running an established chemical production process, but under pressure to improve sustainability, meet ESG targets, reduce waste, or modernise the route? If competitors seem to be moving faster with greener, more efficient approaches, the hardest part is knowing where to start, what is realistic for your plant, and what’s worth testing.

That’s where an experienced external chemistry view makes the difference, when you don’t have the time or in-house capacity to explore options yourself. We run a focused literature, patent, and database review to identify viable improvements for your process step, then assess fit for manufacturing and compare options for sustainability, yield/purity potential, and feasibility. You receive a clear report with expert-led findings, pros and cons, prioritised next steps (including proposed experiments), and regular online updates.

Leading a biotech startup or university spin-off with strong biology and a clear target or pathway, but lacking in-house chemistry to design and synthesise the right molecules? When you need early proof points for investors, grants, or internal go/no-go decisions, the bottleneck is often turning a biological hypothesis into chemistry-based evidence.

Our independent chemistry review gives you a practical starting point and fills the gap with structure-to-synthesis expertise. We align on the target profile, propose viable candidate compounds and synthetic routes, assess feasibility, and help you decide what’s realistically synthesizable using literature, patents, and chemical databases, supported by our expert network. You receive a clear report with the next steps and regular online updates. If you choose to proceed, the project can transition into compound synthesis, delivering test-ready candidates.

Stuck with a chemistry problem you cannot resolve in-house? Startups, small manufacturers, and academic teams often hit the same wall: a synthesis that no longer works, analytical results that don’t add up, unexpected impurities, or a processing step that keeps failing, with limited time and capacity to troubleshoot properly.

Our seasoned external chemistry review turns a stuck problem into a focused plan. We review your synthetic procedures and available data, identify likely failure points, and recommend practical improvements such as route scouting, catalyst/condition optimisation, analytical method improvements, property optimisation (e.g., solubility), or the right specialist service provider when that’s the fastest way forward. You receive clear, actionable recommendations and a prioritised action plan (including experiments to run), with regular online calls and updates.

Need a specific chemical but cannot source it in time, in the right quality, or from the region you require? Whether you are in R&D, manufacturing, or academia, delays and uncertain supplier data can stall experiments, projects, and timelines, especially when you need a defined purity, form, or Europe-based sourcing.

Using our global network, we quickly identify and verify qualified suppliers, handle communication, and help you avoid sourcing guesswork. We flag quality risks early by reviewing analytical data and stated purity before shipment to our lab. After receipt, we verify key parameters and provide COA/MSDS for customs and internal use. We can also arrange transport, including dry-ice shipping for sensitive materials. If sourcing is not feasible, we can switch to custom synthesis and make a bespoke compound to your specifications.
