Non-Pyrophoric Organolithiums: Easy to handle. Minimal risks. Traditional organolithiums in hydrocarbon solvents pose significant fire and handling risks. Our breakthrough formulations use an innovative poly-α-olefin (PAO) solvent that eliminates pyrophoricity—validated by EPA's SW-846 Test Method 1050. These reagents are bench-stable for safer handling, offer extended shelf life versus conventional formulations, and maintain full reactivity across C–H lithiation, nucleophilic substitutions, SNAr, additions, and halogen exchange reactions. Compatible with KOtBu, TMEDA, and other common additives.

The TCB dry disconnect couplings provide efficient high flow rates and facilitate clean, spill-free connections for various media, including hazardous or degreasing fluids. Their ergonomic and secure design, alongside intuitive handling, ensures easy and reliable operation.

Biogas and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) produced from landfills and anaerobic digestion are growing in importance as a sustainable, eco-friendly source of energy for direct use, power generation, pipeline injection and vehicle fuel. Biogas purification is essential for its monetization. NORIT® activated carbon is the premier choice of engineering firms, plant owners, and operators to remove unwanted impurities to meet pipeline specifications and ensure the protection of process equipment including membranes, compressors, engines and turbines, pipelines and fuel cells. NORIT's DARCO BG1 is a leading solution for removing hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from vapor phase gas streams, ensuring cleaner and safer biogas and renewable natural gas (RNG). This non-impregnated, lignite-based, granular, steam activated carbon is designed for high sulfur loading, effectively reducing H₂S to elemental sulfur and removing mercaptans and siloxanes. Its extensive surface area and pore structure make it highly efficient. DARCO BG1 is safe, non-exothermic, and easy to change out, making it a reliable choice for various applications.

In early phase drug development, process chemists in Chemical Research & Development departments are responsible for developing and optimizing a synthetic route and pilot procedure to scale-up promising lead compounds for clinical trials. Process chemists strive to maximize yield of the lead compound, while simultaneously removing unwanted impurities, including: 1) light, medium and dark colors; 2) metal complexes including palladium, platinum, rhodium and ruthenium; and 3) process-related contaminants. Process chemists need to develop a production process that is safe, reproducible and cost-effective. It is almost impossible to predict which activated carbon grade will work best at removing unwanted impurities for any given lead compound. For this reason, we created a sample kit for the pharmaceutical market containing six high purity activated carbon grades with unique selectivity for removing a range of the most common impurities. The convenient design is ideal for placement on a laboratory benchtop. For each new lead compound, we recommend that process chemists try one chemically activated carbon and one steam activated carbon to determine which type works best, then optimize the purification method further by trying other steam or chemical activated grades in the kit. Given that process chemists start with PAC but often switch to powdered activated carbon filter discs during scale-up, we make these activated carbon grades available to the leading filter disc manufacturers, including: 3M, Pall, Millipore, Carlson, Gusmer, ErtelAlsop and Eaton Begerow. So whether you wish to use PAC for its ease of use and low cost, or prefer the cleaner filter disc product format to eliminate costly cleaning and validation steps, we have you covered.
