Compounds Australia’s curates and stores more than 1.5 million small molecule and natural product samples, available to academics and industry for drug discovery and drug development research.
Our libraries facilitate collaboration between chemists and biologists and add value to the already excellent synthetic, organic and natural product chemistry conducted in Australasia.
Compounds Australia curates synthetic compound and drug libraries, natural product libraries of pure compounds, fractions and extracts, and consolidates more than 40,000 compounds originating from Australian chemistry researchers into a national ‘Open Access’ collection.
We also provide benchmark-setting storage and logistic services for numerous ‘Closed’ or proprietary compound collections and provide these samples to member organisations and their national and international collaborators.
Our sample libraries
Compounds Australia provides access to critical infrastructure and expertise to ensure flexible, efficient, reproducible, and cost-effective, compound management, supporting biological characterisation of compounds throughout the drug discovery pipeline.
We have several libraries available to researchers in assay-ready formats only. Assay-ready is volumes <1000nL, and as low as 2.5nL.
Compounds Australia can readily “spot” these collections in bespoke assay-ready formats in a single point, multi-point and cherrypicked formats. The collections are solubilised in 100% DMSO and stored in low temperature and low humidity environments.
