Production was developed as well, in each fields. Affiliate companies were created for production and commercial activities in France, UK (2003), USA (2007) and Instrumentation busines (2010). Interchim has now major activity in fine chemistry, chromatography and bio-analysis. Besides distribution activity, Interchim developped several innovative products.

Activities

  • The activity in Chromatography spans HPLC, LC/MS, FPLC, MPLC - GC, GC/MS, GPC, GFC - RMN - AA, IR, ICP, UV – SPE. Interchim notably introduced new generation silica chromatography media (UptiSphere) that has become a standard worldwide, Strategy, Atoll).
  • The activity in Fine Chemistry deals with compounds libraries (Chirals, Fluorinated, Building blocks for Combi-Chem) and flash chromatography. Interchim developped a unique flash chromatography system (PuriFlashEvo430 - integrated functions).
  • The activity in BioSciences focuses on Immunodetection, Biochemistry, Electrophoresis and Cell Assays. Interchim manufactures protein assays (BC Assay, Coo Assay), superior fluorescent dyes known as FluoProbes, Cell Assays reagents and kits (i.e. FluoProbes indicators, high sensitive viability assay UptiBlue) and an innovate transfection agent UptiFectin.
