SYNTHESIS  
Reaction (10-500 mg) $35.81/HR
Reaction (0.5–1 gram) $35.81/HR
General workup (10-500 mg) $143.28/step
General workup (0.5-1 g) $238.82/step
Column chromatography (10-500 mg) $143.28/step
Column chromatography (0.5-1 g) $238.82/step

Example pricing of a typical 5-step synthesis project (0.5-1 g):

[$35.81/hour x 6 hours (mean reaction time for one reaction) + $238.82/step x 2 steps + $47.76/analytical assay x 2 assays = $788.02/step] x 5 steps = $3,940 + costs of starting materials and special reagents.

 

Example pricing of a typical 5-step synthesis project (20-50 mg):

[$35.81/hour x 6 hours (mean reaction time for one reaction) + $143.28/step x 2 steps + $47.76/analytical assay x 2 assays = $596.96/step] x 5 steps = $2,985 + costs of starting materials and special reagents.
