Chemical Safety, Hazard Assessment, and Regulatory Readiness
Independent Technical Expert & Litigation Support
Technical Feasibility & Concept Validation
Product Quality Assessment & Root-Cause Investigation
Product Design, Optimization, and Reformulation
Process Failure Analysis & Performance Optimization

Our Services

Experimental Design & Data Analysis

Developing an experimental framework to evaluate new ideas can be challenging—and interpreting the resulting data can be even more complex. We design clear, elegant testing strategies that bring your concepts to life, generate actionable insights, and identify opportunities for improvement.

Our approach also streamlines eligibility for SR&ED tax credits, allowing a significant portion of your investment to be recovered through government incentives.

SOP Authoring & Implementation

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) enable your team to deliver the consistent, reliable results your clients expect. Poorly defined or undocumented processes can lead to staff errors, operational disruptions, and loss of customer confidence.

We develop clear, easy-to-follow procedures and provide effective staff training to ensure your operations run smoothly, efficiently, and with minimal risk.

Custom Scientific Software Solutions

Data processing is often repetitive and time-consuming. Well-designed, user-friendly tools that enable rapid and accurate interpretation of data can significantly improve both efficiency and reliability.

We develop custom solutions to automate these workflows, including standalone software applications and excel macros that reduce manual effort and minimize error.

Instrumentation Setup & Method Development

You may have a scientific instrument that your team lacks the technical expertise to configure—or one that has yet to be fully designed or built. Even once an instrument is operational, achieving reliable and meaningful results can be a complex and time-consuming process.

We provide expert setup, configuration, and optimization services so your tools perform as intended. By handling the technical complexity, we allow your staff to focus on the work they were hired to do—rather than troubleshooting sophisticated systems.

My Story

Daniel Levenson, P.Chem, MSc.

(M1327)

My name is Daniel Levenson, and I am the founder of Transition Element Ltd. From an early age, I have been driven by a passion for building, inventing, and understanding how things work. That curiosity has led me to continually take on hands-on projects, develop new skills, and pursue practical solutions to complex problems.

My professional foundation in chemistry was established through the completion of a Bachelor’s degree (2016) and a Master’s degree (2019) in Chemistry. During this period, I was awarded the Student Union’s Teaching Excellence Award in recognition of my ability to clearly and effectively communicate complex scientific concepts. My academic research focused on catalytic design during my undergraduate studies and on materials for hydrogen fuel cells at the graduate level. This work resulted in two peer-reviewed publications: one addressing the optimization of hydrogen fuel cell materials, and a second examining the relationship between particle size and the resulting conductive properties of these materials.

I began my professional career in 2020 at NOVA Chemicals as a Research Technologist, where I conducted research on polymer processing aids within the plastic additives group. Concurrently, I developed Open Titration, a personal passion open-source project that provides an automated workflow for extracting key analytical insights from titration data. In 2021, I transitioned to Fusion Technologies Inc. as Head of Research and Development, leading efforts to design and implement innovative oilfield chemical formulations and methodologies. In 2025, I joined Arkon Solutions Corporation as a Research Chemist before founding Transition Elements Ltd.

At the core of my work is a desire to help individuals and businesses—particularly those without in-house scientific or chemical expertise—turn ideas into practical, effective solutions. I bring a rare combination of hands-on technical ability and scientific rigor, equally comfortable troubleshooting equipment in the lab as I am preparing documentation to support government funding and tax credit applications.

You can think of me as your scientific handyman. I look forward to helping you transform your ideas into reality.
