METABIX, we currently have several exciting projects in the works for several international clients. Due to the complexity of each project, often an FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) or FFS (Fee For Service) type of contract will be employed.
For technically more challenging chemistry projects, an FTE approach is employed. These projects may not have much precedence in the literature, and may need a little route scouting and development before they’re optimized. For these types of projects, your company hires a specific individual or team that’s dedicated to that project, and you are charged for their time working on it. The benefit of this approach is that your account gets maximum use out of these resources, allowing for more speculative science or innovation to be explored. On top of this, the FTE approach is more flexible with bespoke project design to add or remove chemistry targets as the priority’s shifts. FTE projects are billed monthly and can often be short-term e.g., proof-of-concept syntheses to long term e.g., multiple FTE programs requiring close customer communication and internal project management help.
Are you looking to secure a dedicated team with high-level of chemistry expertise? Consider our FTE synthesis services, which allows us to provide your single client with a dedicated team that is expert in technical and productivity enhancements. Our staff members are also specially trained to meet the needs of your company. Moreover, with our FTEs, you can secure capacity and resources for as long as the project requires. And with our FTE synthesis service, you’ll get a high level of integration and customization to meet your unique needs.
A typical FFS contract is an agreement where the client requests us to synthesize one or more compounds based on literature precedent (either scientific article or patent). Typically, there’s no need for extensive research for the project. This type of project usually follows a multistep synthesis from a patent and requires only very little synthetic optimization.
In this type of agreement, we determine the price before the project starts based on what’s needed to prepare and deliver the requested product in agreed quality.
