Our products are particularly well suited for drug discovery chemists that perform amide couplings, reductive aminations, metal mediated couplings, etc., on a daily basis. Our supported reagents and catalysts greatly simplify the reaction and work-up process, enabling chemists to run more reactions and generate more compounds. Furthermore, we have a whole range of flash cartridges and TLC plates to assist the chemists in the purification of these compounds.
We are your partner of choice for all your synthesis, catalysis, analysis, purification and metal removal requirements.
We commit ourselves to offer you best quality products accompanied by expert technical support at a competitive price!
- Under a CDA, we will screen a customer’s metal contaminated reaction mixture against our SiliaMetS® Metal scavengers to determine the best scavenger and the best conditions.
Custom Phase Synthesis:
- We have the knowledge to graft any function (small molecules, peptides, sugars, and proteins) onto silica gel and we do that for a customer’ specific application for catalysis, support, or chromatography.

SiliaBond® TMA Acetate nec
Strong anion exchangers (SAX) have been widely used in both chromatography and ion exchange SPE to selectively bind acidic drugs and/or analytes. In particular, weakly acidic compounds can be effectively extracted as those types of sorbents retain a permanent positive charge across the pH range. Most commercially available silica-based SAX sorbents are produced with a high selectivity chloride counter ion which reduced retention of acidic drugs when compared with lower selectivity counter ions such as acetate.
