ChiroBlock’s Synthesis Facilities Synthesis Lab – perfectly equipped for challenging custom synthesis
Custom synthesis of sophisticated organic molecules and related contract research can be a very challenging task, necessitating the provision of state-of-the-art laboratories, equipment, and infrastructure to first-class synthetic chemists.
Our chemical research laboratories (350m² synthesis laboratory, 110m² kilo laboratory, 300m² pilot plant) are generously equipped with synthesis fume hoods and form the basis for the safe handling of hazardous substances. For the implementation of larger quantities of substances, we operate a flexible multi-purpose system with appropriate peripherals from Büchi on a 110m² technical center area. Appropriate storage options for solvents and chemicals complete the rooms. Our first location on Andresenstrasse is supplemented by a second location in the chemical park where we operate a pilot plant on an area of approx. 300m². The synthesis areas are complemented by modern offices and comfortably designed social rooms.
Our in-house analytical service addresses all aspects of in-process analytics and final QC. Internal processes are enhanced by efficient IT infrastructure, including proprietary software tools for project-, knowledge-, and risk management.
Confidentiality and security aspects have also been addressed: the building is guarded 24/7 and features an additional electronic access control. The physical firewall separation of our intranet from the internet ensures the highest security level for sensible data and research results.
ChiroBlock is located inside one of Europe’s largest chemistry sites, where ~11,000 people are working in 360 mainly chemistry-oriented companies. Thus, we benefit from the excellent infrastructure in many aspects, e.g., the recruitment and training of qualified staff, convenient access to technical knowledge and special media, and well-organized chemical waste disposal to name just a few.
Finally, our customers can take advantage of our local network. If desired, we can involve reliable on-site partners that complement ChiroBlocks capabilities in scale and technology.
