Training Programmes

Bench skills, taught by the people who use them daily.

We open our laboratory to students who want practical, hands-on grounding in chemistry techniques - the same methods behind our own research and product formulation work.

Who this is for

Practical training across the fields of chemistry.

Whether you're building foundational lab skills or preparing for research-level work, our programmes are structured around real techniques, real instruments, and real safety practice.

Foundational

Laboratory practices & safety

Correct handling of reagents and glassware, safe use of equipment, and good laboratory record-keeping — the basics every chemist needs before advanced work.

Technique

Extraction & separation techniques

Solvent extraction, chromatography and distillation — the same methods we use to isolate compounds from agricultural residue.

Analysis

Instrumentation & spectroscopy

Hands-on time with analytical instruments used for structure elucidation and quality control in natural products chemistry.

Synthesis

Synthetic chemistry practicals

Reaction set-up, monitoring and purification for students working toward synthetic route design and drug discovery.

Computational

Intro to computer-aided drug design

Introductory modelling and docking exercises for students who want a computational complement to bench skills.

Formulation

Product formulation basics

How an isolated compound becomes a dosed, packaged product — using our own tea and tonic lines as working examples.
