Core Capabilities

Fine Chemical Manufacturing

Our low-cost chemical manufacturing operation is focused on production, processing and refinement of biological buffers, amino acids and biochemical reagents. We offer a range of batch sizes compared to others in the market, including significantly larger 1,500kg and 2,000kg lots for some products.

Our core capabilities realted to fine chemical manufacturing include the following:

Salt Derivatives: UBI manufactures salt derivatives of biological buffers and amino acids. These products are typically used in cell culture media formulation or molecular biology applications. Products are dried to the customer's required hydration state.

Purification by Re-crystallization: UBI manufactures purified buffers including our flagship product Tris HCl. The re-crystallization process is one step in the production of buffer salts. We have the capability to purify lower grade material by re-crystallization to meet ultra pure standards.

Dehydration: Products such as amino acids derivatives and buffers are available in different hydration states depending on the application.

Particle Size Reduction: Our chemical processing capabilities include particle size reduction, an important part of manufacturing blended powder products.
