Stable supply
Agreed quantities, on an agreed schedule.
Stable supply means recurring production of a custom compound using a proven process, agreed specifications and a planned delivery schedule.
Stage 3 of 3. One team from the first milligram to routine supply. The chemists who developed the route are the chemists who make each batch, and technical responsibility does not change hands when the programme moves from development to production.
Discuss recurring quantities, specifications and delivery schedules with the team responsible for your chemistry.
Long-term supply relationships
Our longest continuous supply relationship began in 2018 and remains active today. Other ongoing collaborations began in 2019, 2020 and 2022.
What procurement checks and how it is covered
| What you check | How it is covered |
|---|---|
| Schedule and partial deliveries | Agreed quantities on agreed dates; partial deliveries where the programme needs material before the full batch. A change to the schedule is announced before it happens, not after |
| Documentation with every batch | Analytical data and a certificate of analysis with each delivery; the full set your quality function asks for, ready to send |
| Confidentiality and IP | One legal field with yours. An NDA that works. Development and production stay in Germany |
| Safety and regulation | Compliance with applicable safety and regulatory requirements. |
| Company resilience | Since 2018 · 100+ partners · 300+ projects · the same founders throughout |
| Who you talk to | A named chemist for the technical side and a named contact for purchasing, with a phone number, for orders, documents and dates |
What we take on
- Production follows the agreed process and specification. Any proposed process change is documented and agreed with you before it is introduced.
- Capacity reserved for the agreed schedule, so an urgent order elsewhere does not move your date.
- A sample of every batch kept, so a question about a delivery made two years ago can be answered with the material, not with memory.
- Bad news first. If a reagent supply breaks or a step needs to be re-run, you hear it early, with the revised date.
What you leave with
A supply contract: quantities, dates, the analytics that accompany each batch, and a price per quantity. The contract states which factors change the price, including scale, specification and a change of route you request. It also states which factors do not.
Examples of ongoing supply
A scalable route, developed before anyone knew one existed. Intermediates for materials production, where no scalable, affordable method was in place. The route was developed before there was a guarantee of one. Route development and scale-up led to stable ongoing supply, in quantities up to 5 kg.
A dye that had to be purer than anything on the market. A fluorescent dye for diagnostic equipment. The only commercial source was around 60 % - unusable in the instrument. Synthesis and purification developed in-house. Above 99.5 %, from the first 100 mg to 2-3 kg per year, supplied without interruption since 2019.
A fluorophore for diagnostics, on a long-term contract. A special fluorescent dye used as a linkable fluorophore on a substrate. Synthesis developed earlier, scale-up in-house, supplied for years - from milligrams to kilograms depending on the product.
What we are not claiming
- That stock is held. Material is made to the agreed schedule, not pulled from a shelf.
- That catalogue compounds are supplied. They are cheaper elsewhere, and the assessment will say so.
- That supply starts without the earlier stages. Every supply relationship here began with a trial project and a route that had to be developed - that is what makes the schedule reliable.
Starting a collaboration
Supply begins at the first stage: a trial synthesis, a written assessment, and an honest answer about what will scale. If a colleague's team already works with us, the same route is open to yours.
