Contract Chemistry

Key Organics - your trusted partner to solve your challenging synthetic problems

Reliability & competence
Contract or Full Time Equivalent (FTE) chemistry support offers the benefit of dedicated chemists focused solely on one client's interests for short or long-term projects as required.

Key Organics offers different FTE business models to satisfy all synthesis requirements (click here to see our easy reference chart):

The KOCAS service - Key Organics’ chemists providing their specialised skills in difficult and challenging chemistry to exceptionally high standards. Key Organics' record of success is second to none, often delivering where other companies have previously failed.

The KOSYNergi service – A joint venture mixed model approach involving Key Organics', UK based chemists working synergistically with Syn|thesis, China based chemists. This provides the client with cost effective building block and library synthesis; one UK based communication point and the reassurance of over 23 years experience in troubleshooting for discovery chemistry, with exceptional communication and project management skills.

The Integrated service – Any of the Key Organics’ FTE chemistry services integrated with its biology/screening and computational chemistry services to provide the complete drug discovery platform.

Whichever model is chosen, intellectual property (IP) generated within an FTE becomes the property of the client, many projects having created highly valuable IP leading downstream to patents and commercial products.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Tennants Group, Key Organics has the financial strength to remain a sustainable, long-term and reliable partner to meet all your chemistry needs.

Confidentiality
Key Organics' KOCAS and KOSYNergi clients range from major multinationals, to biotechs, start-ups, and virtual companies. All have one thing in common - the need for absolute discretion and total confidentiality.

Having provided outsourcing chemistry solutions for over 23 years, Key Organics has a proven track record of working in complete confidence under stringent non-disclosure agreements (testimonials).

Flexibility of Service
FTE KOCAS and KOSYNergi team members are selected for the appropriateness of their skills and experience in relation to the project, being proactive, flexible and dedicated to a client's changing needs.

They provide high quality chemistry, offering novel synthesis solutions whilst communicating effectively according to the requirements and wishes of the client.
Contract/Full-Time Equivalent(FTE) models are aimed at more research-based projects whereas Custom Synthesis projects are suitable for discreet projects and single compounds.

Examples of projects are:
• Hit to Lead work ( small to medium sized library synthesis)
• Lead Optimisation (for selectivity, receptor binding, ADMET and pharmacokinetic 
  properties)
• Asymmetric syntheses and optical resolution
• Microwave chemistry
• Patent exemplification work (patent protection and patent busting)
• Process development and Scale-up  and cGMP (mg→g→kgs)

Value
Competitive pricing in relation to our capabilities coupled with sector leading quality and service, delivers unbeatable value for money.

Quality
Every compound is rigorously quality assured by the in-house Analytical Department to meet or exceed the specifications of the individual client.
