Our new purpose-built laboratories in Oxfordshire (UK) house our state of the art spectroscopic, analytical and physical chemistry facilities. In particular, Chiralabs has one of the world's most extensive chiroptical spectroscopy facilities (including Circular Dichroism, Magnetic Circular Dichroism, variable temperature CD, microsample CD, ORD, polarimetry, etc.). Many of our instruments have been specially adapted for the investigation pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. Chiralabs also develops new approaches, techniques and applications; for example, pattern recognition - Raman optical activity (ROA) for the analysis of proteins and biopharmaceuticals.
A wide range of spectroscopic, physicochemical and theoretical approaches are undertaken to enhance product discovery and development. Specialist areas of investigation include:
