Dolder BioPilotplant: High-grade natural substances produced by fermentation - 24-Jul-06

Natural substances play an important role in the development of new, innovative ingredients and new chemical entities (NCEs). The number of naturally ocurring substances is quite high and may be increased multi-fold by combining parts of natural substances with synthetic fragments. However, companies developing NCEs often face the problem, that multi-gram to kilogram quantities of fermentation products, required for their pre-clinical trials, are difficult to obtain.

Dolder & Novartis BioPilotplants close this gap, offering these products in bulk quantities. All research quantities are sold through ALEXIS® Corporation.
