Metal Scavengers Selection Guide
> back to SiliaMetS metal scavengers
The following selection table, shown below, helps customers in selecting the most efficient scavenger for a specific metal and application. However, since some parameters may affect the efficiency of the scavenging, we highly recommend performing a preliminary screening experiment using the SiliaMetS Metal Scavengers kit.
SiliCycle also offer a confidential Metal Scavengers Screening Service. Contact us to take advantage of our expertise in metal removal.
