Material Science Custom Chemistry
And Synthesis Services

Decades of expertise, innovative science at our heart

Our team of specialist chemists have supported materials science clients since 1992, formerly as part of Peakdale Molecular. With many years' industry experience and led by a number of chartered chemists, our team brings the depth of knowledge needed to succeed in materials science programs.

We are 7-time finalists and proud 2026 Winners of the SCI-RSC National Retrosynthesis Competition, underpinning the quality and innovation of our synthetic chemistry expertise. Can your current provider say the same?

Whether we are supporting R&D in battery technology, biosensor or biomedical device development, or polymer innovation, our team provides:

IP security: Your intellectual property is critical. Ringfenced teams, access-controlled electronic lab notebooks, and rigorous IT security ensure your knowhow stays in the safest of hands.

Quality Chemistry: Chemical space is becoming increasingly contested, driving the need to access ever more complex molecular architectures. Our chemists have the technical depth to meet that challenge, delivering material that performs to specification, first time.

Partnership: Clients benefit from the long-term insight our teams provide. Our data-rich approach to science reduces unknown hurdles further down the line, saving time and cost across the life of your program.

From discovery to scale: One day you hope that you will need to access more than a few grams of your material. To avoid the headache and risk of qualifying a new vendor at that point, We take your molecule from first milligrams to kilograms, under one roof.

What clients think

“We come to you for this compound, as no one else can make it to the same quality”

For over 10-years we have built and grown a partnership with a world leading company in the organo-electronics field, from an initial collaboration with 4 FTE to 20 FTE, supporting their R&D and manufacturing departments.

“The reward for good work, is more work”

Through partner-level engagement from experienced scientists and fast, responsive service, our client has kept their R&D on track, reduced costs and accessed novel chemistry space to keep them ahead of the competition.

Concept Life Science's Material Science team turned difficult chemistry into scalable, high-purity materials – quickly and reliably.

Supporting from concept to delivery – under one roof

Route design – Our chemists design efficient, scalable synthetic routes from the outset, drawing on decades of process chemistry experience to anticipate challenges before they arise.

Synthesis – Our teams execute complex, multi-step synthesis with the rigour and reproducibility your program demands.

Analytical – In-house analytical capability underpins every stage of the process, giving you confidence in the identity, purity and consistency of your material.

Purification – Bespoke purification strategies, including chromatography, recrystallisation and distillation, ensure your material meets the exacting specifications your application demands.

Delivery – We develop processes that can be scaled and have manufacturing capability to take your molecule from milligram to kilogram scale.

Advanced Materials FAQs

Q: What types of advanced materials chemistry do you support?

A: We support synthetic chemistry across a range of advanced materials applications, including battery and electronic technology, biosensor and biomedical device development, and paints and polymer innovation. Our teams design and deliver complex molecules to high purity and specification, tailored to your application's performance requirements.

Q: Can you take a material from early feasibility through to scale-up?

A: Yes. Concept Life Science's supports the full journey from first milligrams to multi-kilogram quantities, removing the need to qualify a new vendor as your volume requirements grow.

Q: How do you protect our intellectual property?

A: We operate ringfenced project teams, access-controlled electronic lab notebooks, and robust IT security protocols, ensuring your proprietary chemistry and data remain confidential throughout the partnership.

Q: What level of chemistry complexity can you handle?

A: Our chemists have deep experience accessing increasingly complex molecular architectures, supported by in-house analytical and purification capability. This allows us to tackle challenging synthetic targets that many providers cannot.

Q: Does Concept Life Science's offer analytical and purification services alongside synthesis?

A: Yes. Analytical and purification capability is built into our workflow at every stage, giving you confidence in the identity, purity, and consistency of your material without needing to coordinate multiple vendors.
