Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 Ion Exchange Resin 100-200 Mesh Sulfonic Acid 2.5 kg

The Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 100-200 mesh ion exchange resin is a high-capacity sulfonic acid-based cation exchange medium ideal for analytical separations, deionization, sample preparation, and various synthetic reaction workflows. This resin consists of moist beads or spheres with a particle size distribution ensuring 15% maximum on 60 mesh and 15% maximum through 170 mesh for consistent performance. It offers a wet volume capacity of at least 1.7 meq/mL in H form and a water retention capacity between 50% to 58%, making it highly effective in ion exchange processes. The resin exhibits insolubility in water, is beige to brown in color, and is conveniently packaged in a 2.5 kg plastic bottle, suitable for laboratory-scale bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics applications.

Key technical features include:

This resin is widely adopted in biotechnology research fields, including molecular biology, synthetic biology, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, where precise ion exchange is critical. It is essential for molecular cloning workflows, protein purification, and biomedical engineering applications requiring robust, reproducible ion exchange performance.

The resin complies with relevant chemical standards (CAS 11119-67-8) and is produced in the United States, ensuring reliability and quality for demanding laboratory environments. The packaging dimensions and shipping weight support easy integration into routine biochemical workflows and scale-up operations in biomanufacturing contexts.
