WuXi offers new mobile app for organic compound synthesis requests

Chinese CRO WuXi PharmaTech has launched WuXi V-Lab, a mobile app to help researchers and chemists in need of small-molecule compound synthesis. 

The app allows customers to request organic compound synthesis through a mobile device. The application provides online functions for inquiry, quotation, order confirmation, project tracking, delivery confirmation, and payment.

A spokesman told us that the released of the app “echoes our commitment to bringing cutting-edge technologies to WuXi platform to best serve our customers.”

The release of the app may be a part of a larger shift to promote the company's chemistry and small molecule offerings as the company’s manufacturing services continue to progress. In the most recent earnings call, WuXi said it’s looking to triple manufacturing capacity.

"WuXi is one of the world's largest employers of chemists and a recognized leader in premier chemistry services," said Ge Li, Chairman and CEO of WuXi PharmaTech.
