Fine Chemicals

When precision and quality are paramount

From pharmaceuticals to agrochemicals and cosmetics, fine chemicals are the active ingredients in many products. Manufacturing them responsibly is key to long-term success.

The impact of biosolutions in production

Enzymes, or biosolutions, are becoming increasingly popular in producing fine chemicals used in everyday products. Offering significant advantages over both chemical catalysts as well as natively sourced enzymes, our recombinant enzymes present a renewable and cost-efficient alternative to conventional technologies. Enzymes are also widely used in diagnostic test kits, where they play an active role in detecting viral diseases.

    Meet regulations with enzymes for cell culture

    Animal-origin free trypsin enables you to meet stringent regulations. Unlike native trypsin, our recombinant, trypsin for cell culture is animal-origin free. That makes it easier to comply with manufacturing regulations for biologicals and biopharmaceuticals.

Secure supply, even in times of turbulence

Being able to ensure reliable supply minimizes your vulnerability, especially in times of turbulence. With production facilities on four continents and warehouses all over the world, you have access to a flexible, robust distribution network. Altogether, this helps ensure the supply-chain continuity you can rely on.

    12 Principles of Green Chemistry

    Green chemistry is an approach designed to minimize the impact of chemistry on human health and the environment. The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry show how using enzymes instead of chemical catalysts leads to more sustainable processes that are safer, more energy efficient and less wasteful.
