Acros Organics Dowex 1X8 100-200 Mesh Strongly Basic Anion Exchange Resin 2.5Kg

The Acros Organics Dowex 1X8 Ion Exchange Resin is a strongly basic anion exchange resin constructed on a polystyrene-divinylbenzene matrix with quaternary ammonium functional groups, designed specifically for analytical ion-exchange and purification workflows. Supplied as tan to white beads with a 100-200 mesh particle size, this resin offers a high surface area and rapid exchange kinetics, critical for efficient separation of anions in biochemical and clinical diagnostic applications.

Key technical specifications include:

• Typical form: Chloride (Cl⁻) form with a wet volume capacity exceeding 1.2 meq/mL
• Particle size distribution: Maximum 15% on 60 mesh and through 170 mesh ensures uniform bead sizing optimized for chromatography columns
• Water retention capacity: 39–45% in chloride form, supporting stable hydration levels during molecular separation
• Molecular formula: C29H34ClN with molecular weight 432.05 g/mol
• Physical packaging: 2.5 kg bottle, suitable for sizeable bioprocessing batches or repeated laboratory use

This high-performance ion exchange resin is widely used in molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology experiments, and bioprocessing purification protocols, serving as a critical component in anion purification and separation workflows. Its compatibility with chromatography systems makes it essential for researchers working in biomedical engineering and biotechnology research fields, where precise ion separation is necessary.

By maintaining rapid kinetics and a robust matrix structure, the Dowex 1X8 resin supports efficient biomanufacturing and gene editing preparation processes, underscoring its utility in advanced biotechnology and molecular cloning workflows.
