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

Acros Organics Dowex 1X8 is a strongly basic anion-exchange resin designed for precise laboratory chemical separations and analytical purification tasks. Its 100-200 mesh particle size offers a high surface area and rapid ion exchange kinetics, making it critical in bioprocessing workflows and molecular diagnostics requiring efficient anion removal.

Key technical features include:

• Polystyrene-divinylbenzene matrix providing chemical stability and durability
• Quaternary ammonium functional groups ensuring strong basic anion-exchange capacity
• Supplied primarily in the chloride (Cl⁻) form with a wet volume capacity exceeding 1.2 meq/mL
• Water retention capacity between 39-45%, facilitating optimal ionic interactions
• Beads colored tan to white with particle size distribution tightly controlled (max 15% on 60 mesh and max 15% through 170 mesh)

This resin is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and critical molecular biology applications such as gene editing and biomanufacturing, where reliable anion purification impacts data integrity and process efficiency. The 2.5 kg supply in bead form supports scalable laboratory protocols in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical engineering. Manufactured in the USA, Dowex 1X8 is an essential material for researchers focused on fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging sample preparation, and other analytical chemistry applications requiring robust ion-exchange media.
