Intermolecular

Intermolecular is a materials science company that specializes in advanced experimentation and data analysis to accelerate the discovery and development of new materials. Acquired by Merck KGaA in 2019, the company utilizes its proprietary High Productivity Combinatorial (HPC) platform to provide R&D services and technology for the semiconductor, consumer electronics, and specialty chemicals industries. Their approach combines high-throughput synthesis, characterization, and informatics to significantly reduce the time-to-market for complex material systems. While primarily focused on electronics, their methodologies share similarities with combinatorial chemistry used in drug discovery and are increasingly applied to specialty chemical sectors including pharmaceutical intermediates.
