We’re live at SETAC 2026 in Maastricht! 🎉

Yesterday we set up our booth and joined the opening reception — already a great start with first catch-ups with friends and partners. The best conferences really do begin before they officially open! 😊

From today until Thursday, you’ll find us at booth #92 at MECC Maastricht. We’re here to talk microplastics analysis, share our latest filtration units and filter technologies, and — most importantly — connect with the people doing the important work in this field.
If you’re here at SETAC, please come by. We’d love to meet you in person!

We're at SETAC 2026 in Maastricht – May 17–21, come visit us at booth #92! 🌿

SETAC brings together the environmental science community like no other event: researchers, decision-makers, and industry experts united by a shared commitment to advancing science and turning it into real-world impact. It's one of those conferences where every conversation matters — and that's exactly why we love being there.

From May 17 to 21, you'll find us at booth #92 at MECC Maastricht, Netherlands — and we'd genuinely love for you to stop by.

We'll be showcasing our latest filtration units and filter technologies designed for microplastics analysis — developments we've been working hard on and are really excited to share in person. Whether you want a detailed walkthrough, a quick look, or just a coffee and a chat about where the field is heading — our team will be there for all of it.

Microplastics analysis is moving fast, and events like SETAC are where the important conversations happen. We're proud to be part of that community and to contribute with solutions that help make the science more accessible and reliable.

So if you're attending — please come find us. No appointment needed. Just look for booth #92. 👋

Something we've been working on for a while is finally taking shape. 🙌

Microplastics and nanoplastics are everywhere — in our water, our air, our food. And while the research community is making great progress, one thing remains clear: we still have more questions than answers.

That's exactly why we're organizing a workshop dedicated to just that.

𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨- 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩
🗓 12./13. November 2026
📍 SmartMembranes GmbH, Halle (Saale) 🤝 Together with Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.

We're bringing together scientists, researchers, and industry experts for two days of:
→ Keynote talks & poster session
→ Live demonstrations — see the analysis in action
→ Regulatory updates & open exchange on where legislation is heading
→ Real conversations between science and industry

If you're working in this field, or simply want to understand where the science — and the regulation — is heading, this is the place to be.

More details coming soon — but mark your calendars! 📌

🔬 Microplastics in urban fountains – an underestimated problem.

A new study, published together with Częstochowa University of Technology, reveals: microplastics are found everywhere in urban fountains – from Gliwice and Rybnik to Halle (Saale), Germany.

The findings are interesting:
→ Up to 110 particles per liter measured in Polish cities
→ Significantly lower levels in Halle – local conditions make the difference
→ Fibers, fragments, pellets, and foils – every fountain tells its own story

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
Urban fountains are publicly accessible, directly exposed – and largely unstudied. They reflect what is happening in our urban environment.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿:
Precise analysis starts with the right filter. Our silicon membranes enable reliable detection of microplastic particles – including sub-micron ranges – and form the foundation for trustworthy research results like these.
Science needs reliable methods. We provide them. 💡

🌏 Back from Seoul — and still reflecting on a fantastic week!

Last week we had the chance to visit LabSpinner and meet the team behind the ExoDiscovery® system — a beautifully engineered platform for fast, gentle isolation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) at the nanoscale.

For us, this visit had a very personal dimension: SmartMembrane’s silicon filters are built right into the ExoDisc® — the core component of the system. Sitting across the table from the people who work with our technology every day, and talking about how we can make it even better together — that’s the kind of conversation that reminds you why you do this work. 🔬

We’ve agreed to build on this foundation with a long-term cooperation, focused on jointly optimizing our filter solutions for the ExoDisc® platform. Lots to look forward to.

A big thank you to David Lee and the LabSpinner team for the incredibly warm welcome and the open, inspiring exchange. We left Seoul energized — and already looking forward to the next steps! 🤝

🌏 Greetings from Seoul, Korea!

We had the privilege of visiting our valued partner KIAST Korea this week—and what a meeting it was. 🤝

As global momentum in microplastics and nanoplastics research continues to accelerate, close partnerships like ours with KIAST Korea are more important than ever. Together, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s analytically possible.

During our visit, we introduced new products and solutions tailored for microplastics and nanoplastics applications—innovations we are excited to bring to the Korean market together with KIAST Korea. 🇰🇷

We are proud to support researchers worldwide who are dedicating their work to understanding micro- and nanoplastics in human health, food safety, and environmental science.

This visit reinforced what we already knew: great science thrives on great partnerships. 💡

Thank you, KIAST Korea, for the warm welcome and the inspiring exchange—we look forward to what we will achieve together!
