Leaders in pharmaceutical and chemical analysis, solid-state development and materials characterization

Leverage decades of experience in physical and analytical chemistry,
pharmaceutical solid-form screening and development, cGMP method development, validation, lot release, and chemical intellectual property support.

Success in chemical development starts here!


Asset development and comprehensive materials testing is often expensive, frustrating, confusing, overly complex, and slow - which is why working with us is not.

Having a thorough understanding of the asset's solid-state characteristics and behavior is crucial for success and consistency at all stages of development and manufacturing - and ensures a strong intellectual property portfolio.


Triclinic Labs provides industry leading solid-state contract physical and analytical chemical analysis, development, and problem solving.
We have nearly four decades of trusted experience - dedicated to improving your understanding of your molecules and their potential.


We'll help you derisk your development path!

Triclinic Labs, Inc. offers contract research services that can be broadly characterized as "physical and analytical chemistry". More specifically, the search and development of solid forms and the use of analytical instrumentation for the characterization of those molecules. These services go hand in hand with our intellectual property patent prosecution and litigation support services.

Founded in 2009, we are an FDA registered and inspected laboratory (2024) with a DEA Controlled Substance License (Class I-V). We lead the industry in innovative approaches to chemical development and analysis. Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive solid-state analysis, screening and selection, interpretation, and intellectual property guidance. We strive to help you achieve milestones and make your programs more successful - we'll collaborate with you to provide a path forward, not just deliver a stack of test results or a data dump.

You'll find we're unique and:

Responsive -

Receive a rapid reply to requests. Experience on time and on budget projects. You'll find the sense of urgency and timeliness that you expect, but rarely find in a contract research organization. We have numerous services levels and can accommodate rush requests.

Available -

Work directly with our lead scientists. No project managers or communication and time zone barriers. Receive project updates when you need them. Every employee is empowered and expected to do the right thing for the client.

Flexible -

We offer BOTH cGMP and non-GMP services, extensive and rapid materials characterization, we can accommodate unusual requests (e.g. medical devices and exotic materials), and don't charge for minor changes or project modifications.

Cost Effective -

We offer various levels of service and scope. We'll tailor a program to meet your needs, not apply a boiler-plate approach that is used over and over.



Extensive Experience:


You receive actionable results, not a data dump.


Everyone says they are the best. We want to prove it to you. The scientists at Triclinic Labs have nearly four decades of chemical and pharmaceutical analysis, development, and intellectual property (IP) support experience. We've collaborated on several thousand polymorph, salt, cocrystal, crystallization process improvement, and amorphous material development projects. We have characterized innumerable organic and inorganic molecules, drug products, and medical devices. Our scientists have served as experts in more than 200 IP matters world-wide over the last 25 years. We've worked with every therapeutic class of active pharmaceutical ingredients and hundreds of formulations and excipients. Our client repeat rate is 98.3% historically. We believe it's because we quickly help solve your problems and are fair and consistent in serving our clients.

We can help you with even the most challenging solid-state chemistry analysis, development, and control issues. Our scientists have a tool box full of techniques to render your molecule crystalline and an extensive array of instruments and approaches to analyze your drug substance, drug product, contaminants, and counterfeit chemicals.

How to collaborate with us...

It's easy to begin a discussion on your project needs but the devil is in the details. Generally, we begin with a mutual confidentiality agreement. We're happy to use your preferred document as a starting point. Once executed, a project discussion with your subject matter expert and ours is is a good next step. We will prepare a project scope and cost proposal from that discussion (or discussions). Usually some refinements are made to the project scope. Once the project is executed with a confirmed start date and receipt of samples, we'll be in regular contact as the project progresses. Biweekly project updates for longer duration projects are provided. You can communicate with the project leader as needed too. It's efficient - because it should be.
