  • Heavy Metal Removal

... if metal removal is slowing your time to trial or market, use MEMSORB technology.

Transition metal catalysts are used widely in synthetic chemistry, reactions such as the transition metal mediated epoxidations, hydrogenations, dehydrogenations, and carbon - carbon bond formation reactions to name just a few. Problematic for the development chemist, but not when coupled to MET's MEMSORB technology.

For example, palladium catalysts are used in the synthesis of many novel compounds and APIs, yet quick and efficient removal of the metal residues is often the barrier for getting a product rapidly to market. MET’s new approach couples membrane filtration to adsorption — MEMSORB.

MEMSORB combines the best of Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN) with conventional adsorption techniques to remove greater than 99% of palladium, in addition to other heavy metals. So,

  • If you’re fed up with endless screening?
  • Want a technology that removes greater than 99% of palladium?
  • Want a single pass technique giving consistent results every time?


… couple MEMSORB to your chemistry!
