SynChem Starts Its New Branch Company in Shanghai, China

SynChem expanded its business service line to China. The integration of its Chicago main facilities and Shanghai facility will offer full custom chemical service for SynChem’s customers. SynChem (China), Ltd, located in the heart of Chinese life research center, Shanghai Academic of Sciences, will focus its services on FTE research projects and time insensitive custom synthesis projects, as SynChem, Inc. in Chicago focus its services on time sensitive custom synthesis projects and multi-step custom synthesis. The new lab in Shanghai is fully equipped as organic synthesis laboratory with rotary evaporators, analytical instruments including Waters HPLC and outside contractor facilities such as Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Shanghai Medical University. This new lab head by experiences researchers including one academic professor and two Ph.D. researchers, and it will extend SynChem’s research capacity to handle research- oriented projects at low cost and low risk that the customers needed.
