Research Contracts At Colour Synthesis

FTE Research Contract (Full-time Equivalent)
  • Dedicated Research chemists work alongside your R&D team to consult and help design of new molecules and synthetic pathways to novel chemicals to your specifications.
  • Free up over-stretched resource in your organisation by allowing our chemists to work on your projects, when you need it most.
  • Flexibility is key and an FTE contract allows you to stop research whilst evaluation and testing is completed. Targets can be changed at any time by you when the research changes direction.
  • You only pay for the time worked on your projects rather than time elapsed, making the process of research more cost efficient.
Contract Research and Development
  • The customer agrees set targets and specifications at the outset of the project
  • Projects can be multi-phased with multiple targets to achieve
  • Colour Synthesis will outline stage-gate agreement with deliverables outlined for each phase of the project.
  • Each phase can be quoted separately with the client’s ability to provide a go or no-go decision at each phase
  • Contract research uses set and agreed pricing structure – always know what you will pay before commencement.
  • All analysis can be completed at Colour Synthesis and QC release gives you a guarantee of quality material.

Working with us

  • Full client confidentiality, from initial briefing to project completion
  • Direct Communication with the chemist assigned to the project, with regular review meetings to discuss progress and results to help continually improve on compound performance
  • Intellectual property (IP) can be assigned to the customer as part of the body of outcomes of our research programmes. This will be discussed and agreed prior to the commencement of the project.
  • Full data analysis and Interpretation on state-of-the-art analytical equipment. For more information  see Analytical Services.
