Similar to a full time equivalent (FTE), our Extended Bench™ concept provides customers with scientific expertise for a specific time period, but instead of one dedicated scientist, this agreed time allocation can be split across our network of facilities, areas of specialised technical know-how, and team of highly-skilled scientists to deliver expertise when you need it most.
Key advantages of our extended bench model:
Our Extended Bench™ model can provide you with the flexibility to change direction quickly as your project or business needs change. It also provides the opportunity for parallel work streams.
Our Extended Bench™ model allows you the flexibility to adapt the resources and expertise required throughout your molecule’s lifecycle.
Our Extended Bench™ model allows you to tap in to a range of expertise across our global network of sites, from analytical to solid state, tox lot manufacture to scale up, depending on your project’s ever changing needs.
Despite having access to multiple experts across our business, your project will still be managed by one single point of contact, to ensure a seamless knowledge transfer.
Our facilities in the US, EU and UK means not only do you have access to 400+ scientists, but you have the advantage of support across multiple time zones within our network, ensuring we are available to support you whenever you may need it.
