Single Compound (One-offs) projects are bid at a guaranteed fixed price for labor; raw materials may either be included in the fixed price or back-charged at cost. The decision to back-charge raw materials depends on the anticipated reliability of the synthesis procedure provided, as well as scalability. One-off projects are typically more traditional Kilo Lab projects involving large quantities of material.

Relationships are absolutely essential to the success of all outsourcing initiatives. We typically undertake one-off projects initially where Adesis, Inc. assumes the risk during the crucial getting acquainted period. Shared risk can then be considered, if mutually agreeable, such as:

• One-off projects and catalog sales initially (cf, vide infra)
• Evolve to FTEs for appropriate projects
• Blend of one-off, FTE and catalog sales offers best value to both parties.

In addition to expeditious synthesis campaigns, we also maximize value for customers through our operations. For example, FTE projects have the support of a full service kilo lab on the same site to make unavailable raw materials as one-offs. This allows the sponsor considerable budget flexibility and ensures that projects will not be delayed because of raw material backorders.
