About

Our Story

Arthkem Private Limited was founded by a small team of analytical chemists who had spent years on the customer side of the reference standards industry - waiting on backordered compounds, chasing incomplete documentation, and reformulating experiments around what suppliers happened to have in stock. We started Arthkem to fix that: an in-house synthesis and characterization operation built specifically so that hard-to-find standards are not the exception, but the default. Today that same principle drives every batch we release - synthesized, purified, and documented in-house, under one ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system, so labs get exactly what the Certificate of Analysis says they're getting.

Our Mission

To give analytical, quality control, and research laboratories a dependable source of accurately characterized reference standards - synthesized, tested, and documented to a standard we would trust in our own lab.

Our Vision

To be the laboratory's first call for hard-to-find reference standards - known as much for taking on the compounds other suppliers turn away as for the reliability of our catalog stock.
