Who are we?

We are AF ChemPharm, established in Sheffield, England, in 1998. We are a chemistry-based contract research organisation, and are specialists in driving discovery by simplifying synthesis.  We provide a straightforward, cost-effective and convenient route for bringing expertise in chemical synthesis into your projects.

Whatever your core focus, AF ChemPharm is on hand to help you streamline your workflow if you require chemical synthesis. Though we are principally involved in the drug discovery and pharmaceutical sectors, we are a reactive and versatile company, and have current and previous clients from a diverse range of industries.

We've worked with biomedical academic research groups, functionalised polymer manufacturers, fine chemical suppliers and emerging-technology firms, amongst many others.

What do we offer?

Our clients expect high quality, reliable and cost-effective consultancy, custom synthesis and contract research, and we are proud to say that we can deliver on these expectations. We are situated in purpose-designed, state-of-the-art laboratories in central Sheffield, equipped with kilo-lab facilities, and we use a world-class analytical suite for the characterisation of your projects.

We work with multi-national companies, universities, SME's and brand new start-ups; whatever the size and direction of your company, we pledge the same commitment to excellence in science, communication and customer service .

Our team are all PhD chemists, with backgrounds in synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry from both academia and industry, and we have recently appointed two external scientific advisors of the highest calibre - Prof. Joe Harrity of Sheffield University and Prof. Alan Spivey of Imperial College, London.
