RMC Group - Analytical services
High reliability products

Benefit from the
extensive product advantages

The preparation of almost all products is designed, developed, validated and performed in our laboratories in Switzerland by a highly talented and experienced team of synthetic chemists and technicians.

Benefit from our highly specific and unique expertise in the isolation of complex molecules from plants and other biological materials.

Furthermore, the products feature high purity and reliable characterization for accurate and reproducible analysis results. You can also count on consistent quality from batch to batch, which supports long-term studies and validated methods. Our improved accuracy in quantitative analyses through well-defined reference standards contributes to this.

Buchem complies with highly characterized chemical standards

Benefit from our
high-quality materials

Our reference materials are generally stable isotope labelled compounds and other highly characterized chemical standards suitable for analytical purposes, used to ensure accuracy, precision, and traceability in analytical measurements.

These materials are widely used for method development and validation, instrument calibration, quality control and quality assurance, quantitative analysis with LC-MS, GC-MS, NMR, and other analytical techniques, and in pharmaceutical, environmental, food, and life science research.

An impressive example is the isolation of all individual monascus pigments from fermented rice. This allows us to offer six components in very pure form: the yellow compounds Monascin and Ankaflavin, the orange Monascorubrin and Rubropunctatin, and finally the red metabolites Monascorubramine and Rubropunctamine.

instead of a
catalogue

You usually need various products to conduct your research. Sometimes standard products are not sufficient. Our approach is comprehensive: based on your research objectives and the resulting product requirements, we offer you the synthesis of the products that you need, supplemented with products we have in stock. So that you have everything you need to draw well-founded conclusions within your research approach.

All products available.

Find all the products you need instead of just a selection.

Additional: grant application support.

You will also receive support during the grant application process, so that changes to the application can be aligned with changes to the products required for the research.

Benefit from our extensive experience.

We have extensive experience with products for your research area, based on collaboration with research groups worldwide.

RMC Group - Here for the unlucky few
For the people

Because rare
Needs care

We’re here for the unlucky few. For those whose bodies drew the shortest, most unfair straw. For those who stood at the very back of the line when health was being handed out. Who share, with perhaps only a few hundred others worldwide, a fancy-sounding name for a rare disease.
