Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 Strong Acid Cation Exchange Resin 100–200 Mesh for Cation Separation

The Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 is a robust strong acid cation exchange resin featuring a 100–200 mesh particle size optimized for precise cation separation in laboratory applications. This resin contains sulfonic acid functional groups, delivering a high total capacity ≥1.7 meq/mL (H form) and water retention capacity between 50–58%, ensuring effective ion exchange performance. Supplied in moist bead or sphere form, it is insoluble in water with a beige to brown appearance, packaged in a durable 2.5 kg plastic bottle.

Key technical attributes include:

• Strong acid cation exchange functionality, ideal for analytical separations, deionization processes, and sample preparation workflows.
• Particle size distribution controlled with a maximum of 15% on 60 mesh and through 170 mesh, supporting reproducible separation efficiency.
• Suitable for applications in biotechnology, such as molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, where consistent ion-exchange capacity is critical.
• Manufactured under strict quality standards in the United States by Acros Organics, ensuring reliability in research and clinical laboratory environments.

This ion exchange resin is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and molecular cloning workflows requiring high-purity sample conditioning. Its compatibility with bioprocessing equipment makes it essential for labs focusing on gene editing and biomanufacturing applications. Dowex 50WX8’s robust chemical profile and physical stability contribute to its role in live-cell imaging sample preparation and fluorescence analysis techniques that demand contaminant-free reagents.
