Dedicated professionals
Key Organics' in-house analytical department is operated by experienced and qualified analytical professionals whose sole aim is to assure the optimal quality and purity of BIONET products, and that KOCAS products meet or exceed customers' specifications prior to despatch.
The best equipment
Key Organics continues to invest heavily in state-of-the-art analytical equipment, which includes a Bruker Avance III - 400MHz NMR and a Waters prep-LCMS system.
Quality & Service
Unlike some other companies, Key Organics has the ability to undertake the full battery of analytical tests with dedicated staff, on-site. This ensures client confidentiality, responsiveness, reproducibility, and consistently-high quality standards.
Contract support
Key Organics can also offer the same high quality analytical services enjoyed by BIONET and KOCAS to external customers too.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Service
The KOCAS NMR service makes use of a Bruker Avance III-400 system with 60 place auto-changer and 5mm 1H/13C probe with variable temperature unit for above-ambient work.
The instrument is also fitted with gradient shims allowing fast and accurate shimming as well as access to faster pulse sequences meaning less instrument time for 2D analysis.
All acquired spectra are assessed and re-integrated by trained analysts to give the 'best fit' to the proposed structure making spectrum analysis faster and more accurate.
Spectra are reported on A3 paper for internal use and as pdf for external customers (click here to view an example report), raw data is in Bruker Avance format and will be supplied as a compressed file to external customers. (See more information for external customers).
Spectra are referenced to TMS in CDCl3 and referenced to residual solvent peaks in the case of other deuterated solvent media (unless specifically requested).

Fee for services
Competitive pricing is available for all the analytical services listed. Pricing is available for single and multiple samples. Solvent for solubilising sample must be specified. Priority service is available with interpretation if required. Specialist techniques e.g. 'COSY nOe Difference' will be priced individually upon request (time-based).
1H interpretation requires structure of compound; no interpretation requires number of protons and preferably the active group within the molecule e.g. ester, nitrile etc.
If no data is supplied by the customer, Key Organics will use 'best fit' to assign integrals. Standard solvents handled are CDCl3, DMSO-d6, D2O, CD3OD, CD3CN and acetone–d6. Other solvents may be used after consultation.
