Capabilities
Real in-house bench capability — not borrowed time on a shared facility. Our work happens here, under our control, on your timeline.
Primary Equipment
The core of our synthesis capability. A dedicated, in-house reactor for controlled batch chemistry — not a shared lab, not a rental, not a university core facility with a six-week queue.
The ceramic stirrer assembly is a deliberate choice for flavor chemistry. Stainless and glass surfaces can introduce trace metal contamination that distorts sensitive flavor compounds — particularly at the low concentration levels that matter in food applications. Ceramic eliminates that variable.
For Maillard precursor work specifically, controlling the reaction environment — temperature uniformity, mixing efficiency, residence time — is what separates a reproducible product from a batch that behaves differently every run. The jacketed design gives us that control.
Additional Capability
Access to additional experimental and prototype-scale equipment as projects require. We're not limited to what sits on our bench today.
[Dr. Joe — please add your analytical capabilities here: GC, GC-MS, HPLC, titration, etc. This is a placeholder.]
Batch records, synthesis protocols, and technical reports provided with every project. Your QA and regulatory teams will have what they need.
Why It Matters
Most boutique consultants are a Ph.D with a notebook and an arrangement with a university lab. That's a different business than ours.
No waiting for lab time. No shared-facility scheduling. When the synthesis is ready to run, we run it. Iteration cycles are measured in days, not weeks.
Your formulation never passes through a shared facility where other parties are working. The reactor is ours. The bench is ours. The information stays here.
Conditions are controlled and reproducible. What we develop in this reactor is scalable because we documented how it was made — not approximated from notes.
One chemist ran the reaction. That same chemist writes the report and answers your follow-up questions. No handoffs, no interpretation gaps.
Scale & Scope
A 2L bench reactor is the right scale for flavor development work. Large enough to produce meaningful prototype quantities for your internal trials, small enough to iterate quickly without committing significant material cost to each experiment.
When a project grows beyond bench scale, we can discuss next steps — whether that means process hand-off documentation for your manufacturing team, or identifying appropriate scale-up partners.
We execute NDAs before any proprietary information changes hands. Your formulation work, your IP. That's not a selling point — it's just how we operate.
Tell us what you're working on and we'll have an honest conversation about whether our capability is the right fit.
