Fine Chemicals

Our company was initally established to bring the benefits of modern instrumentation and chemical expertise to the Chemistry Department at York University. Over the years, the company has been providing advice and consultation to many chemical, pharmaceutical and analytical establishments across North American chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. We have grown into a company that has expertise in synthetic organic and peptide chemistry, process development, scale-up and cGMP manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Our company has been producing fine chemicals on a custom basis for research and for chemical supply houses over the eighteen years (viz. Sigma, Aldrich, Fluka, ICN, BDH). As part of our business effort, we have identified and supplied many new reagents for biological and commercial synthetic purposes. We have specialized in oligo-RNA and DNA synthesis as it has been a unique opportunity for low-volume, high value-added fine chemical production with strong growth potential. More recently we have identified pharmaceutical impurity and analog synthesis and drug discovery as areas of growing demand. For this reason we have developed our contract research capabilities. In 1996 the company established a cGMP manufacturing operation for production of Bulk Pharmaceuticals as we anticipate strong growth in this portion of the business.
