SYNTHESIS OF HIGH ADDED VALUE MOLECULES
Scientific Supervisor: Amadeu Llebaria
SIMchem is a service created in 2009 to provide chemical and synthetic support to R+D+i activities in industry, university and public organizations. It is aimed at filling the gap between custom synthesis performed by companies and the synthetic research groups in academy. The service is intended to provide synthetic support to research projects of chemistry, biology, biomedicine and drug discovery by providing both skilled personnel, instrumental and laboratory, and taking advantage of the chemical synthetic and analytical expertise of the group members.

Synthetic projects and services
SIMChem offers chemical services to the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors through projects personalized and adapted to any requirement, including development projects and route design. Projects can be defined in a time- or target-basis. The results will be protected by MTA/CDA agreements or patents as per your convenience.
Our fully equipped laboratories designed for chemical synthesis, skilled staff, and access to spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques required for the purification and characterization of the products guarantee a satisfactory result.
Analytical projects and services
Accurate chemical analyses are crucial for the successful development of R+D projects and for the correct characterization of products. Our skilled analysts and instruments allow an efficient development of analytical methods as part of the projects as well as specific and external uses if a personalized support is not required.
The analytical techniques available include: HPLC (analytical and preparative scale); HPLC-MS/MS; GC and GC-MS. We can provide you with a large assortment of HPLC columns (direct/reverse phase, ionic exchange, preparative, chiral and UPLC columns) and detectors (ELS, UV, fluorescence and PDA, MS/MS detectors).
