At Minakem,

Our broad array of advanced technologies is the cornerstone of our ability to solve complex challenges and deliver innovative solutions. All manufacturing processes are running under stringent current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), ensuring compliance with global regulatory standards.

Our technological expertise includes

Cryogenic Reactions

With capabilities to operate at ultra-low temperatures down to -80°C, we can safely and effectively perform reactions that are highly temperature-sensitive or exothermic enabling the synthesis of complex cGMP intermediates and APIs.

Cyanation and Halogenation

Our expertise in these specialized reactions allows us to incorporate critical functional groups into intermediates, providing key building blocks.

Hydrogenation

With the ability to conduct catalytic hydrogenation at various scales, we deliver high yields and selectivity for a wide range of chemical transformations, including reductions and functional group modifications.

Carbonylation

This powerful technique enables the efficient production of carbonyl-containing compounds, crucial for the development of APIs and intermediates.

Fractional Distillation

Our advanced distillation capabilities ensure precise separation and purification of products, critical for achieving the required quality and purity standards.

Preparative Chromatography

We employ this state-of-the-art purification technology to isolate complex compounds with high precision, supporting development and commercial cGMP productions.

These technologies, combined with our robust chemical engineering and process optimization expertise, allow us to confidently navigate the most demanding synthetic pathways and manufacturing challenges.
