Our Manufacturing Process

From raw material to finished bonded phase — precision at every step

Step 1

High-purity sodium silicate solutions are prepared as the starting material for our sol-gel process.

Step 2

Controlled hydrolysis and condensation reactions form silica sol, which is then gelled under precise conditions.

Step 3

Our proprietary process independently controls pore size and distribution — a unique capability of Exmere.

Step 4

Silica is classified to tight particle size distributions, from sub-2 µm to preparative-scale particles.

Step 5

Organosilane bonding chemistry is applied to create reversed-phase, normal-phase, and specialty surfaces.

Step 6

Every batch undergoes rigorous QC testing including BET surface area, pore size distribution, and chromatographic evaluation.
