This article demonstrates the potential of using additive technologies to modify membrane analytical systems as a logical continuation of research into optimizing the design of original membrane filtration units developed in the Laboratory of Preconcentration Methods of the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences under the active participation and guidance of Boris Yakovlevich Spivakov, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The stages of creating these membrane systems and their application in environmental analysis are described. The potential of using additive technologies, particularly photopolymer 3D printing, for creating membrane concentration devices is substantiated. It is demonstrated that the use of modern software tools for creating new functional modules and finding promising solutions in fractionation, concentration, and filtration can influence the future of this field.
