IBC AnaLig - Molecular Recognition Separation Products
AnaLig products are specially engineered molecular recognition materials that consist of small diameter, solid-phase particles, typically between 150 to 250 micrometers in size, bound to solid supports like silica gel or polymer substrates. These particles are embedded with highly selective ligands that enable the precise extraction of metal ions from various solutions, facilitating their analysis through techniques such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP MS). The particles are typically used in column formats to achieve high-efficiency separations even when the analyte concentrations are low and competing species are abundant. AnaLig® emphasizes a green chemistry approach, thus they contribute to environmentally sustainable processes by minimizing carbon footprint and waste generation during operations. This technology is instrumental for industries requiring meticulous ion separation in complex feed solutions, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of analytical assessments.
AnaLig Separation Techniques are Effective at Low Analyte Concentration Levels, even in the Presence of High Concentrations of Competing Species.
AnaLig products, usually in column format, are used to carry out highly selective separations on target species preparatory to analytical analysis of these species by ICP MS or other analytical instruments. AnaLig products are effective in removing ions in complex feed solutions to mg/L to µg/L concentration levels.
