Our Chemistry Portfolio

Analytical chemistry services and beyond

We cover the full spectrum of chemistry CRO needs, from early-stage discovery to candidate optimization and process chemistry.

  • Analytical Chemistry
    LC/MS, HPLC, NMR, elemental analysis, purity determination, chiral analysis, and structural characterization for small molecules.
  • Medicinal Chemistry
    Hit-to-lead and lead optimization, SAR-driven analog synthesis, scaffold design, and multi-parameter optimization.
  • Discovery Chemistry
    Fragment-based drug design, diversity-oriented synthesis, and building block synthesis to explore chemical space rapidly.
  • Process Chemistry
    High throughput & parallel synthesis, utilizing rapid SFC purification and automated robotics labs for targeted library synthesis, route scouting, process development, and scale-up chemistry from milligram to multi-gram quantities for preclinical studies.
  • Custom Synthesis
    Bespoke compound synthesis, reference standards, metabolite preparation, and labeled compounds (isotope, fluorescent).
  • Compound Profiling
    Physicochemical profiling, solubility, LogD, permeability, and metabolic stability screening to guide candidate selection.

Client Success

Trusted by leading biotech and pharma teams – hundreds of drug discovery programs rely on our analytical chemistry services each year.

“Eurofins Discovery’s analytical chemistry team delivered rigorous LC/MS characterization data within a week. Their turnaround and data quality directly accelerated our lead optimization timeline by two months.”
