Agere Sciences is a U.S.-based developer and manufacturer of high-quality research compounds and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky with global reach, our mission is to accelerate innovation through science by supplying the critical ingredients and manufacturing expertise that enable breakthroughs in drug discovery, diagnostics and life-science research. We combine technical expertise, regulatory alignment and scalable manufacturing to move science forward.

Our focus on quality begins with high-purity APIs. APIs are the biologically active components of medicines; they deliver the therapeutic effect and form the foundation of any pharmaceutical product. Producing APIs requires careful synthesis, purification and formulation under strict regulatory oversight. Agere Sciences operates under cGMP and ISO-aligned practices to ensure that every batch meets stringent quality and documentation requirements. By offering full regulatory documentation support and custom synthesis from milligram to kilogram scale, we help customers meet clinical and commercial milestones.

Agere also specializes in custom chemical synthesis. Custom synthesis involves producing a molecule to a customer’s exact specifications—including scale, purity and process. In the pharmaceutical industry many R&D compounds are difficult to find or complicated to synthesize, so custom synthesis services are essential. Our team works under confidentiality agreements to deliver bespoke compounds efficiently, saving clients time and resources while ensuring a secure supply chain.

As a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), Agere provides integrated services from route design to commercial-scale manufacturing. CDMOs allow pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to outsource development and manufacturing so they can focus on discovery and marketing. Services typically include pre-formulation, formulation development, stability studies, method development and clinical-trial materials, and clients expect regulatory compliance, flexibility and on-time delivery. Agere’s CDMO services meet these expectations by offering rapid turnaround, technical expertise and scalable production capabilities.

With U.S.-based manufacturing and global distribution, Agere Sciences is a trusted partner for innovators across the life-sciences spectrum. Our scientific advisors collaborate closely with customers to understand their requirements and deliver tailored solutions that power discovery.
