What is a Contract Research Organisation?
Noctiluca is a unique global company that offers a comprehensive range of services, capable of covering the entire process – from R&D, design, synthesis, and production of materials to collaborating with partners to create test devices and demonstrators, as well as scaling material production for industrial applications.
This means that Noctiluca’s scientific team conducts research and development projects in the chemical industry on behalf of clients to develop cutting-edge solutions, including high-performance materials. Following the production of its signature emission compounds, the company set its sights on a new challenge – helping clients adopt these materials in their market-ready products.
Noctiluca’s cCRO approach is to collaborate with partners on projects and builds long-term relationships based on specific business cases. cCRO involves product development in collaboration with a partner and, using their budget, has the potential to grow into a long-term business arrangement under the condition that the project’s results are applied in the partner’s final devices. cCRO is not a service-oriented activity but a developmental one, offering one of the best ways to establish long-term partnerships.
Team and Laboratory Excellence
Despite its formal establishment in 2019, Noctiluca’s team boasts over 15 years of experience in overseeing the most challenging chemical projects. This extensive background is further complemented by a wealth of expertise in organic chemistry. Our group comprises skilled synthetic chemists and analysts, and we are proud to operate in brand-new, fully-equipped laboratories with specialized instruments for chemical synthesis, purification, quality control, and characterization. This state-of-the-art infrastructure ensures the impeccable quality and precise characterization of our products at every process stage.
Our expanded laboratory allows for greater flexibility in production processes and fosters more efficient teamwork. Moreover, recent investments in cutting-edge equipment have empowered Noctiluca to cater to a larger customer base and expedite order fulfilment. Consequently, we are well-positioned to serve as your dedicated research and development team.
