Custom Natural Product Chemistry & Analytical Services

Specialized scientific solutions beyond the standard catalogue.

Every research project has unique chemical and analytical requirements. Finding the right compound, obtaining sufficient quantities, or characterizing an unfamiliar metabolite can be a significant challenge.
PlantMetaChem supports researchers and R&D teams through specialized services in natural product isolation, chemical synthesis, and analytical characterization.
Combining expertise in plant specialized metabolism and natural product chemistry with an international scientific cooperation network, we offer tailored approaches to selected research challenges.

 

Custom Isolation of Natural Compounds

Access natural products that are difficult to obtain commercially.

Many plant metabolites occur only in small quantities or are not readily available from conventional chemical suppliers.
PlantMetaChem offers custom isolation of selected natural products from suitable biological materials, depending on compound availability, source material, and technical feasibility.
Potential applications include:
  • Preparation of specialized analytical reference compounds
  • Isolation of selected plant secondary metabolites
  • Recovery of specific compounds for biochemical investigations
  • Preparation of compounds for research applications
 
Each request is evaluated individually, taking into account the target compound, required quantity, and analytical specifications.

Analytical Characterization — LC-MS & NMR

Reliable chemical information is essential for meaningful scientific results.

PlantMetaChem offers analytical characterization of selected natural products and research chemicals using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
Depending on the compound and project requirements, these techniques can support:
  • Molecular mass determination
  • Chemical identity assessment
  • Structural characterization
  • Evaluation of selected analytical characteristics
  • Comparison with available reference information
 
Analytical data for selected catalogue compounds may also be available upon request.
The appropriate analytical approach and scope of characterization are discussed individually.
