This site shows you how to obtain the metabolites, internal standards, deuterated compounds and reference materials you need to make your work easier, more productive, more accurate, more defensible, and more profitable.
Please browse our catalog. If you don't find what you want, please contact us- we will search our databases and advise if there is a supplier, anywhere, even if we have to send you to a competitor. If your compound is not commercially available, we can quote you for its synthesis.
Like you, we're trained scientists. We know that you want to talk right away to a technically qualified person, and not get lost in the bureaucracy. You'll be surprised how quickly a small firm like ours can turn a quote around or provide some free information.
And, please have a look around our site. Find out how your purchase is directly benefiting some worthwhile conservation and social development projects as well as providing meaningful careers for chemists.
BDG Synthesis specialises in the custom synthesis of milligram to gram quantities of stable isotope labelled materials, metabolites and reference standards, for clients in the United States, EU and Asia Pacific. We mainly work for the bioanalytical departments of CROs and pharma companies, and are familiar with the quality standards and internal procedures needed to support their work. Audit reports are available on request.
Our company is staffed exclusively by PhD organic chemists. Everything other than synthesis, such as analytical chemistry, is outsourced to the best local providers, with relationships going back to the founding of our company.
To serve the local forensic and environmental science community, we import analytical reference standards from the global market leader, Cerilliant Corporation, with whom we have been working since 1989.
BDG Synthesis is a privately owned New Zealand corporation. We operate from a science park near Wellington and have six chemists. The company is managed by founder Dr. Barry Dent, 49. He started making reference materials in 1987, and bought a business unit from his then employer in 1996 to begin BDG Synthesis.
Our company is run on conservative principles of gradual organic growth, staying true to the concept of expert service within a defined niche. We have no outside investors, receive no government funding, and have an uninterrupted record of profitability.
As many of you may agree, we feel that scientists are undervalued relative to some other professions. New Zealand also has an underdeveloped R&D sector, with an unnatural weighting towards universities and government institutions. In a tiny way, we are trying to lead by example, to show that scientists may have a rewarding career, in private industry, in their home country. To this end, appointments at BDG Synthesis tend to be made to permanent staff rather than temporary contracts. With the exception of postdoctoral positions, all of our current people are on permanent staff. Base salaries are higher than at the larger local science employers.
