Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 100-200 Mesh High-Capacity Cation Exchange Resin, 2.5kg

The Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 100-200 Mesh is a strong acid cation exchange resin designed for precise cation exchange applications in biotechnology, analytical chemistry, and water purification workflows. This industrial-grade resin features:

• High cation exchange capacity with sulfonic acid functional groups ensuring effective ion removal and separation
• Moist bead form (spheres) with optimal particle size distribution (max 15% on 60 mesh and max 15% through 170 mesh) for enhanced flow rates and surface area contact
• Wet volume capacity of at least 1.7 meq/mL in the hydrogen (H) form, supporting efficient ion exchange processes in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing
• Water retention between 50% to 58%, maintaining resin hydration critical for consistent performance in biomanufacturing pipelines
• Insoluble in water with a beige to brown color, packaged securely in a plastic bottle for safe laboratory handling and storage

This resin is essential for deionization, sample preparation, and purification tasks widely adopted in synthetic biology research, gene editing workflows, and clinical diagnostics. Its chemical stability and physical form make it suitable for bioprocessing applications requiring reliable ionic separation, including biopharmaceutical production and environmental sample analysis.

Optimized for laboratory and industrial environments, the Dowex 50WX8 resin contributes to precise ion exchange chromatography and water treatment processes critical in biotechnology and medical research domains.
