Chemistry & Pharma R&D

Instrumentation, automation, and lab-ready product development for research teams moving from experiment to repeatable workflow.

We design instrumentation, automation and lab-ready products for chemistry and pharmaceutical research teams moving from one-off experiments to repeatable, scalable workflows. Our portfolio includes temperature-controlled parallel and continuous photoreactors, chemically resistant pump platforms, coil heaters and compact full-spectrum spectrometers, the building blocks of modern flow chemistry. We pair scientific instrumentation expertise with embedded control and data software, so researchers get reliable measurement, repeatable conditions and process insight they can build on.

Core Capabilities

Instrumentation, automation and lab-ready product development for research teams scaling from experiment to repeatable workflow.

• Flow & batch chemistry instrumentation — Photoreactors, pumps, coil heaters and reactors engineered for repeatable, scalable chemistry.
• Precision measurement & spectroscopy — Compact full-spectrum spectrometers and sensing for real-time process analysis.
• Embedded control & automation — Temperature, flow and LED control that hold conditions steady across long runs.
• Lab-to-product engineering — Turning research rigs into robust, repeatable instruments ready for everyday lab use.

How it works

Discovery & feasibility

We scope the chemistry, the workflow and the goal, then pressure-test what's technically possible and where the risks sit — so the hard questions are answered before significant budget is committed.

Design & prototype

Optics, fluidics, electronics, firmware and software are designed together and proven on real hardware early and often, so performance is validated against your requirements rather than left to a single big reveal.

Validate

We verify the instrument against its specification and your conditions, confirming repeatable results and dependable, calibrated measurement run after run.

Productionise

A supported handover into manufacture, qualifying suppliers and staying involved through first builds, so the bench rig becomes a robust instrument you can deploy across the lab.

For Research Teams

Custom instrumentation that takes your chemistry from a one-off result to a process you can run, measure and trust every day.

• Repeatable conditions, run after run — Temperature, flow and light held steady, so results are reproducible rather than lucky.
• Measurement you can trust — Calibrated spectroscopy and sensing for dependable, real-time process data.
• Insight you can build on — Embedded control and data software turn instrument output into usable process understanding.
• Bench rig to deployable instrument — We harden a working experiment into a robust instrument your whole lab can use.

For OEMs & Procurement

A single specialist team that designs, proves and productionises the instrument — no integration gaps, no vendor hand-offs.

• End-to-end under one roof — Optics, fluidics, electronics, firmware, software and mechanics, engineered together.
• Baseline-to-bespoke — Start from a proven platform for speed and lower risk, or commission an entirely new design.
• Manufacture-ready — Supported handover into production, with supplier qualification and first-build support.
• A UK engineering team you can talk to — Specialist instrumentation engineers in Cambridge, not a ticket queue.
