About us

Growing from a tiny lab to a reputable Silicon Valley partner and beyond

The passion for useful science

From the beginning, we have been driven by our passion to deliver useful science to the practical world. We started from scratch in 2011 as a single-person venture synthesizing sought-after chemicals unavailable in the market to prop up research and industrial production.

Our growth picked up momentum after opening a proprietary lab in 2018 and getting the first U.S. contracts from clients wowed by our bold but legit proposition: “We can conduct research on your behalf, with the same quality as in the U.S., at half the cost, all while safeguarding your proprietary knowledge.”

Anti-COVID substance synthesized in four months

During the COVID pandemic, we lent our hands to the global effort of finding effective treatment as quickly as possible. Working intensively, we managed to replicate the Gilead-published remdesivir synthesis methodology in our conditions to get the active substance for research, which was unavailable for this purpose at that time.

We managed to synthesize the active substance in just four months instead of years while shortening and streamlining the whole complex process. We immediately started supplying the active substance to the scientific community worldwide to help fight the disease through research.

Agile EU lab delivering top quality for affordable prices

Our team, composed solely of PhD experts with international backgrounds, has developed hundreds of new molecules for diverse applications, from cancer and COVID treatments to aiding research in solar cells, ADC linkers, and more.

We know that every day of your research is costly. So we have made our structure lean and processes streamlined and solid to communicate directly, act flexibly, and be the true opposite of large, slowly responding laboratory giants.

Curiosity-driven excellence helping you succeed

Formerly a small team from a small country, we keep growing and getting marks as the global trusted partner for custom research, contract synthesis, and scale-up, preparing molecules for small start-ups in the U.S. as well as global pharmaceutical leaders.

Welcome to SigutLabs where top expertise meets cost-effectiveness, thoroughness, and reliability.
