About Activate Scientific
Activate Scientific is a European catalogue supplier of multifunctional heterocyclic building blocks and complex scaffolds, headquartered in Prien (Bavaria) with a second location in Littleport (UK). The catalogue range comprises more than 140,000 compounds, including heterocycles, boronic acids, fluorinated compounds, spiro compounds, cycloalkyls, amino acids, PEG linkers, alkynes and azides for pharmaceutical research and synthetic chemistry. In addition, the company offers custom synthesis from milligram to kilogram quantities, including process development and scale-up through to pilot production, with a specialization in heterocyclic chemistry, fluorine chemistry, boronic acid derivatives and chiral synthesis. Every batch is analytically tested (NMR, HPLC, LC-MS) and documented with a CoA; 95 % of catalogue products are in stock and are delivered worldwide within five working days. Customers include pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms and academic research institutions.
