With skills in structural elucidation and confirmation, and capabilities to scale up purification into a clinical environment, we are delighted to have expert partnerships to support our clients beyond discovery chromatography and impurity isolation.
NMR Peak
NMR Peak was set up by Torren Peakman in 2011 to offer small molecule NMR expertise, notably structure determination and determination of physical properties to customers from the pharmaceutical, biotech and related industries.
He has over 35 years experience in the field ranging from characterisation of starting materials, impurities, intermediates, fragments, final products, metabolites, degradants and natural products to the measurement of solubility of organic compounds in aqueous media and in formulations.
He has used NMR to measure barriers to rotation in atropisomers and other sterically hindered molecules. Torren has further experience in mass spectrometry, analytical chemistry and organic chemistry and has co-authored nearly 100 publications in peer reviewed journals and books.
