Custom Synthesis

We are pleased to prepare quotes for custom synthesized chemicals and bulk quantities of any custom or catalog items. Asemblon is happy to undertake custom syntheses using your methodology or develop a synthetic route using our own skills and experience. Asemblon specializes in chemicals that are used in surface engineering applications. Although we mainly have been focusing on long-chain alkanethiols we have capabilities to manufacture other organic chemicals. We will evaluate every request. For most surface engineering applications, small amounts of chemicals are required. Therefore, we typically quote on 200 mg, but we are capable of producing much larger quantities. Please inquire.

Potential Future Catalog Items:

We understand that custom synthesis can be very expensive at times and is therefore often beyond the reach of many researchers. However, we offer a significant discount for compounds that are strong candidates for becoming future catalog items.

Asemblon’s Quality Guarantee:

We guarantee custom synthesized compounds to meet at least a 97% minimum purity, but they commonly exceed 99%. We analyze each batch by at least two methods, such as NMR and HPLC or GC/MS. Your custom products will be shipped accompanied by all analytical data for the finished product, as well as a certificate of analysis. If you have particular quality requirements, we will gladly manufacture products to your specifications.

Lead Times:

We typically allow one week to order and receive chemicals, 1 week on average to execute each synthetic step, and 1 week for quality control analysis. On average, a typical 2-3 step synthesis will take 4-6 weeks from start to finish. When we receive a confirmed order for custom synthesis we are usually able to schedule the start of the synthetic work within 2 weeks of receipt of order. Upon request we provide you with weekly updates during the synthesis and analytical process.

Consult with our surface specialist

In addition to our high quality custom synthesis capabilities, we also offer consulting services to help develop or troubleshoot surface based technologies. Asemblon provides surface analysis services, including XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and contact angle. Contact us to see how we can help make your surfaces work.
