Cerilliant® Custom Synthesis Services

We offer customized and high-purity synthesis of reference materials, using a broad range of organic synthesis techniques and multi-step syntheses in the mg to kilo-scale range. Our synthesis capability spans drugs of abuse, pharmaceutical substances, steroids and hormones, metabolites, intermediates, impurities, degradants, difficult-to-find environmental materials, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, dioxins and furans, chemical warfare agents, explosives, and stable isotope-labeled materials with deuterium, 13C, or 15N. Our experience with a wide range of compounds equips us to solve the most challenging problems including compounds with little to no literature precedence. We are also authorized to manufacture many regulated materials such as U.S. DEA controlled substances (CI-CIV), U.S. DEA List 1 Chemicals, U.S. ATFE regulated explosives, and U.S. EPA regulated PCBs, dioxins, and furans.

Our custom synthesis expertise includes:

  • Heterocyclic chemistry
  • Opiates
  • Cannabinoids
  • Steroids
  • Thiols
  • Peptide/amino acid synthesis
  • Carbohydrate chemistry (including glucuronides)
  • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
  • Pesticides
  • Dioxins/furans
  • Toxic/potent compounds
  • Stable isotopes including deuterium, 13C, 15N
  • Chiral synthesis and separations
  • Metabolites/impurities
  • Highly reactive/explosive substances
