Removing residual transition metal post reaction is a major issue for many chemists, particularly process chemists in the pharmaceutical industry, where the toxic nature of transition metals means their concentration has to be reduced to the single digit ppm level for the material to be used in vivo and clinical work. SiliCycle has a wide range of scavengers that can remove a variety of transition metals
When selecting a metal scavenger for your reaction every component in the reaction mixture must be considered; the solvent and ligand are key factors but the product, residual reagents, and by-products can all affect scavenger performance. Please view our case study on Pd removal for more information.

SiliCycle has a wide range of scavengers that can remove a variety of transition metals (Table 1).
