About Sorbmetrics Sorbmetrics has developed a pioneering breakthrough method and set of devices that enables direct quantification of sorption, the process by which chemical substances are adsorbed from a liquid medium, by porous or adsorbent materials. Unlike current approaches relying on indirect measurements and extensive calibration, Sorbmetrics introduces a novel mass-dependent method that is calibration-efficient, material-centric, and universally applicable to any compound or liquid system, including partially or fully insoluble substances. The technology has high potential impact across industrial manufacturing, scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and the agro-food sector where understanding adsorption behaviour is essential for innovation, compliance, and product development. The project has been developed by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the University of Cantabria, is protected by two patents, and is currently at TRL 67.
