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

The Acros Organics Dowex 1X8 Resin is a *strongly basic anion exchange resin* composed of a polystyrene-divinylbenzene matrix functionalized with quaternary ammonium groups. Designed explicitly for *analytical ion exchange methods* and *laboratory separations*, this resin features a finely controlled 100-200 mesh particle size, optimizing surface area and enabling rapid ion exchange kinetics essential in precise purification workflows.

Key technical characteristics include:

• Cl⁻ (chloride) form with a total wet volume capacity > 1.2 meq/mL
• Water retention of 39–45%, facilitating optimal ion accessibility
• Beads with particle size distribution compliant with ≤15% max retention on 60 mesh and ≤15% max through 170 mesh
• Molecular formula C29H34ClN and molecular weight 432.05 g/mol
• Tan to white physical appearance

This resin is widely applied in *biotechnology and molecular diagnostics* for tasks such as anion separation, purification of biomolecules, and sample preparation in bioprocessing and synthetic biology research. The resin’s high exchange capacity and fast kinetics make it critical in *biomanufacturing* pipelines requiring efficient and reliable ion-exchange separations.

Packaged in a 2.5 kg bottle manufactured in the USA, the Dowex 1X8 Resin meets the stringent demands of clinical diagnostics and biotechnological workflows, offering reproducible performance in *chromatography* and *biomedical engineering* applications. It is a preferred medium for researchers engaged in gene editing, synthetic biology, and molecular cloning protocols requiring high-purity separations.
