Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 Strong Acid Cation Exchange Resin 100-200 Mesh

The Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 is a strong acid cation exchange resin engineered for precise analytical separations, efficient deionization, and advanced sample preparation workflows in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. This resin features:

• Mesh size: 100-200, ensuring uniform particle dimensions for reproducible ion exchange performance
• Ion exchange capacity: Minimum wet volume capacity of 1.7 meq/mL in H form, supporting high-efficiency cation exchange critical in bioprocessing and synthetic biology
• Functional group: Sulfonic acid groups delivering strong acid cation exchange properties essential for molecular cloning workflows and biopharmaceutical production
• Physical form: Moist beads or spherical particles, insoluble in water, facilitating stable column packing and consistent flow rates in chromatography setups
• Water retention: 50-58% in H form to optimize hydration and ion transport
• Color: Beige to brown, indicating batch consistency
• Packaging: Supplied in a 2.5 kg plastic bottle for secure storage and handling in laboratory environments

This resin is widely adopted in clinical diagnostics and biomedical engineering for its robustness and reliability in ion exchange chromatography, making it a critical component in biomanufacturing pipelines and biochemical analysis. Its precise mesh size and high-capacity sulfonic acid groups make it suitable for live-cell imaging sample purification and gene editing product purification processes.
