Taking you from milligrams to the industrial scale

Need to go from the lab scales to the big scale? Scaling up the synthesis of small molecules of your desired product to hundreds of grams or kilograms is not a matter of using a larger reaction flask. Thermodynamic balance, side reactions, mixing, purification – everything is more complicated on a bigger scale.

We help you make big things happen by applying our comprehensive knowledge and cutting-edge instrumentation. When considering the chemical and physical aspects of your particular scale-up project, we have extensive experience to build on.

To save you time and money, we always seek the best possible pathways to limit the number of reaction steps or purifications. We are well-versed in regulatory requirements, ensuring that the scaled-up process meets all necessary standards.

Enjoy smooth scale-up transition

Our customers include
Start-Ups
We assist small start-ups in exploring their novel ideas, e.g., in order to obtain preliminary data for investors.
Spin-offs
We provide laboratory services to spin-offs lacking their own facilities dedicated to complex organic synthesis.
Universities
We offer budget-friendly research for universities to build on and provide unique substances that are not commercially available.
Pharma
We assist large pharmaceutical companies with synthesis so that they can focus on more difficult aspects of drug development.
Biotech
We have years of experience in organic, bioorganic, and medicinal chemistry, taking your projects to the next level.
Medical
We specialize in antiviral nucleosides and nucleotides, but we are always interested in novel and challenging syntheses.

We also optimize the critical synthesis step that is preventing some companies from reaching an industrial scale.

“Sigut Labs' ability to rapidly adapt and optimize the synthesis process was impressive. They efficiently scaled up production and delivered gram quantities within weeks. I am convinced that making pro-N6pA commercially available through Sigut Labs will significantly benefit the scientific community by simplifying access to this vital research tool.”
Dr. Pavel Kielkowski /Kielkowski Research Group/
“Our molecule is now in the preclinical phase thanks to scale up done by the SigutLabs team.”
Dr. Jiří Janata /Institute of Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences/
“We were really surprised that such a small company was able to develop an innovative technology that enabled the purification of large quantities of our crude product. Moreover, in such a short time. Job well done!”
Ralphy Cooper /Independent Consultant/
“The compounds we received are of high quality. The accompanying information is helpful for us in designing our experiments.”
Professor Anthony Leung /Johns Hopkins University/
“Collaborating with SigutLabs on our CDK and GSK inhibitor research was a game-changer. Their expertise proved very useful in transforming our initial research concepts into a robust scientific program.”
Assoc. Professor Milan Jakubek /First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University/

How we work

Take a sneak peek into our processes
1. INQUIRY
When contacted, we typically respond within 24 hours, providing as much information as possible straight away.
2. NDA
Ensuring the confidentiality of your data is our top priority from the very first moment. Typically, we sign a non-disclosure agreement before the first client meeting where relevant.
3. KICK-OFF
After the client accepts our offer, we're prepared to assist in scaling up your process or synthesizing your desired products on a large scale. We provide custom quantities ranging from 1 mg to 10 kg of the final product. We aim to identify efficient pathways that reduce reaction steps and purifications, ultimately saving time and costs.
4. PROCEDURE
We employ state-of-the-art automated flash chromatography systems by ECOM, using columns from 4 g to 5 kg of silica or C18 for purifying complex reaction mixtures up to 200 g. For intermediate purifications, smaller silica columns or preparative TLCs are used, while traditional techniques like crystallization, distillation, or precipitation are applied in some scale-up syntheses.
5. SHIPPING
If necessary, final products are lyophilized before shipment. To assure optimal shipment conditions for unstable chemicals, we also ship on dry ice to most destinations globally via DHL. Delivery timelines are typically within 24 hours in Europe and 48 hours elsewhere in the world.

What questions
clients often ask

Yes, you can pay by card or bank transfer. New customers are asked for advance payment. We send invoices on the same day as the shipment. We also offer invoice modifications for academic institutions, facilitating payment through grants.

If you can’t find the information you need on a product sheet, feel free to reach out to us at lab@sigutlabs.com. We’ll strive to reply to you as soon as possible.

Each package is meticulously packed. For temperature-sensitive compounds, we ensure shipping on dry ice. We rely on DHL service for worldwide shipments. Typically, packages arrive within 24 hours in the EU and within 48-72 hours elsewhere (subject to customs delays) and we provide a tracking number for every package.

Yes, our products are exclusively for research and development purposes. They cannot be used or sold for treating patients, animals, etc.

Rest assured, the confidentiality of your data is our utmost priority right from the start. Typically, we sign a non-disclosure agreement before our initial meeting with a client.

If you need to make a purchase for a university and are required to get an official quote before placing the order, please contact us at lab@sigutlabs.com. We will send you an official quote within 24 hours.
