Lately you may have noticed a common face around here — maybe you even took a selfie with him. He’s the Peptide King: our mascot for Nitin Shah, Chem-Impex's CEO, who earned his royal title for one very specific obsession.
What goes on behind the castle walls?
Every morning begins with a chai and the same question: "Is there a building block our customers need that nobody else is stocking?" More often than not, the answer is yes — and so he goes and finds it. He’s obsessed!
Nitin's world runs on Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis. Every building block in our catalog has passed his personal filter: purity, consistency, and real-world usefulness. Long lead times and aggregation-prone sequences aren't just frustrations to him — they're affronts to science.
And his kingdom keeps growing. The latest additions:
- Custom resins for mesh/loading requirements
- N-Methylated Amino Acids for membrane permeability
- Click Chemistry Functionalized Amino Acids
- Fluorinated Amino Acids to enhance inhibitory activity
