Overview

BASF is looking to collaborate to see if the next crop protection blockbuster is sitting in scientific deep freeze. They are looking for novel compounds, such as organic molecules, natural products, and fragment-like molecules, which could be subjected to screening within their research facility, with the goal of developing new crop protection products.

Solutions of interest include:
•          Small organic molecules
•          Natural products
•          Virtual compounds
•          Single chemical compounds (in a dry form)

Their must-have requirements are:
•          The minimum amount of compound we will accept is 5 mg (standard amount is 8 mg).
•          The material shall have purity greater than 80% as determined by current state-of-the-art analysis.

Their nice-to-have's are:
•          Additional amounts of compound available for further screenings (20-100 mg) if needed.
•          Analogues compounds of submitted molecule if the parent compound turns out to be a hit in the initial screening.

What's out of scope for them:
•          Extracts or mixtures of compounds
•          Solutions in solvents
•          Metal-containing molecules
•          Polymers
•          Nanoparticles
•          Microorganisms
•          Toxic or explosive compounds

Important Information

There is no funding, only exchange of knowledge with BASF offering expertise, facilities and services, data and support.
This opportunity is via HALO, which serves as a connection point between research and industry, and offers a space where you can ask the company questions.
