3. SiliaBond® Metal Scavengers Characteristics

SiliaBond^® Metal Scavengers are made of SiliaFlash^® F60 (40-63 μm, 60 Å, 500 m2/g) and endcapped to avoid non-specific binding (undesirable interactions with the free silanols). Therefore, they present the following characteristics:

• No leaching (chemical stability): no API contamination by the metal scavenger. High selectivity: total recovery of the API.
• Very good metal affinity: efficient for a wide range of metal catalysts.
• Solvent compatibility: can be used in any solvent, aqueous (pH 2 to 12) and organic.
• Fast kinetic: even at room temperature.
• Easily scalable: from mg up to multi-ton scale.
• Thermally and mechanically stable synthesizers.
• Ease of use: no swelling or static charge.
• Flexible formats: amenable to use in SiliaSep^™ & SiliaPrep^™ Cartridges.
• Cost efficient: low cost per gram of metal scavenged.
• Controlled loading
