ChiroBlock is a pure service provider; a chemical contract research & custom synthesis company. We are not engaged in the fine chemistry ‚catalogue business’. Therefore, ‚listed’ products in the very narrow meaning are not be found at ChiroBlock.

On the other hand, our services – exclusive and non-exclusive alike – in most cases result in (research quantities) of chemical compounds which could be referred to as products. So, our services nearly always exhibit a certain ‚product’ charakter.

ChiroBlock’s main competences are

• performing research on chemical syntheses,
• synthesis design,
• optimisations of chemical reactions
• route finding,
• (multi-step) synthesis and purification of sophisticated, mostly chiral molecules (single compounds or libraries) on lab-scale (incl. analytics),
• documentation of chemical research and syntheses

ChiroBlock is specialized in serving customers in research and development. We are not engaged in custom manufacturing. We do not regard a ‚catalogue’ product business or manufacturing activities as being synergistic to our R&D services. If larger amounts of chemicals are needed, our clients can rely on our proven partners experienced in up-scaling, (GMP) production or fermantation. The customers for our chemistry expertiese, our synthesis know-how and our research reagents come from various industries and institutions, e.g.:

• pharmaceutical companies
• the biotech industry
• cosmetics, consumer goods
• specialty chemicals
• (public) research institutes
• new materials
• diagnostics

Depending on whether or not the intellectual property is sold to only one customer, exclusive and non-exclusive services/products are being offered by ChiroBlock.

In any case you will benefit from:

• our long term experience in – especially asymmetric – syntheses
• our flexibility in adapting to your needs
• our ‚hard’ and ‚soft’ facilities
• our thoroughly understanding of this business and its market
• our commitment to promptness, reliability and quality

Mid-sized chemical contract research companies like ChiroBlock bear some essential advantages over larger competitors. On the one hand, in this business there nearly does not exist an ‚economy of size’ which would favour larger partners.

On the other hand, many essential aspects of this service unequivocally are bound to smaller units:

• precautions against the leak of confidential information

        - no danger of using such information for own in-house projects

        - security measures are easier enforcable at smaller companies

• flexibility, efficiency

        - a flat hirarchy allows for short information paths and fast decision making

        - a small administration reduces overall costs

• focus

       - only smaller units really can focus on a special field of expertiese offered to the outsourcing sponsor

        - only focussed partners with special know-how add value to the customer’s project

• control

        - no ‚cross-subsidizing’ between several business units of the service provider is possible

• staff commitment, turnover rate

       - only staff owned, mid-size companies (with a minimum share of at least 1-5% per employee) guarantee a maximum of staff commitment and a minimum staff fluctuation rate
