Karlsruhe, Germany --June, 2002-- Alfa Aesar recently published a new Synthetic Organic Compounds Manufacturing Capability brochure. This 54-page publication, which contains thousands of organic compounds, represents current manufacturing capabilities from Alfa Aesar’s Avocado organics plant. The list includes many unique building blocks that are not available from other sources. A 12-page section at the back lists precious metal compounds and catalysts that are also available. In February 2002 Alfa Aesar acquired Avocado research chemicals Ltd., which added an important organic research chemicals component to the existing Alfa Aesar Johnson Matthey manufacturing portfolio. With the addition of Avocado’s extensive production capabilities, in tandem with larger Johnson Matthey facilities, Alfa Aesar now offers customers a single source for organic chemicals from research to full-scale production. Located in Lancashire, England, the Avocado Organics facility employs more than 35 chemists, produces 60 to 70 organic compounds per month, and utilizes a full range of reactions in the production of compounds. Typical lot sizes are in the 10-100 kilogram scale. Custom synthesis, scale-up capacity, and custom packaging are also provided through the Avocado Organics facility.
