Contract Research and Development (R&D)

In an industry that is changing fast, firms must continually revise their design and range of products. This is necessary due to continuous technology change and development as well as other competitors and the changing preference of customers. Without an R&D program, a firm must rely on strategic alliances, acquisitions, and networks to tap into the innovations of others.

Selnolab Sdn. Bhd. provides a variety of services for organizations seeking support for research, performance and development projects. With a state-of-the-art instrumentation and a skilled team of analysts, Selnolab develops analytical methods for projects executed at its premises as well as for external inquiries at any stage of a project. Our solid R&D team of trained academicians and researchers with industrial backgrounds enables us to cater to the following clusters.

Nanomaterials and Chemical Products

 

Selnolab provides a one-stop, continuous range of problem-solving expertise in nanomaterials which includes catalysts, adsorbent, zeolite and activated carbon,   supported by world-class analytical services. Selnolab is able to assist leading industrialists in designing and formulating their own chemicals according to its specific function which also includes medical devices, drug deliveries and cosmetics. Whether it’s developing a new process or improving an existing synthetic route, Selnolab can make an impact in the following areas:

 

  • reducing the number of synthetic steps and costs;
  • increasing process efficiency, yield and throughput;
  • replacing dangerous or environmentally unsuitable chemistries;
  • working with complex molecules and multi-step syntheses;
  • developing and optimizing existing processes to produce syntheses amenable to commercial manufacturing

Energy and Renewable Energy

 

Selnolab have extensive experience in energy and renewable energy processes and have created a number of processes running today at industrial scale. Clients seeking to improve troublesome steps in a process, or to redesign an entire energy route for one of their potential APIs or key intermediates, will value the team at Selnolab. Our goal is to develop for our clients scalable processes that are safe, environmentally sound, robust and cost effective. These includes materials modification of solar panels, waste to energy processes, production of biofuels and re-engineering the properties of fuels and industrial lubricants.

Laboratory Testing

Selnolab Sdn. Bhd.  is well equipped with various analytical instruments to support laboratory testing and QAQC products verification. Our certified and skilled chemists ensures that all analysis are performed in accordance with ASTM, USEPA, APHA, OSHA, AOAC, USFDA, MS, DOE, UOP and other recognized approved test methods. We provide technical consultancy and support our clients further with the development of in-house protocols and is open to special and complex analysis. The lists of analysis provided are as per the following categories.

  • Nanomaterials, Catalysts, Adsorbents, Activated Carbon, Biomass
  • Mercury and Heavy Metals
  • Chemicals and Industrial Chemicals
  • Fuels and Industrial Oils
  • Solid & Scheduled Waste, Wastewater, Sludge and Mud
  • Metal Alloys, Ceramics, Composite, Coating, Polymer

 

Selnolab also offers field services such as sampling, wastewater monitoring, indoor and outdoor air monitoring, chemical exposure monitoring, noise monitoring and local exhaust ventilation monitoring.

Industrial Oil Analysis

Oil condition monitoring (OCM) testing predictive maintenance programs help clients avoid costly machinery, engine and power-train failures. Selnolab OCM tests measure engine oils, lubricating oils, and other fluids for the detection of lubricant engine wear, lubricant quality degradation, and other problems. Oil condition monitoring by Selnolab lab protect our client’s high-value machines, engines, and other systems, reducing expensive downtime. We ensure you the best analytical services by our own in-house certified Machinery Lubricant Analysts (MLA II)
