Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 Strong Acid Cation Exchange Resin, 100-200 Mesh

The Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8, model 335340025, is a strong acid cation exchange resin formulated with high-capacity sulfonic acid groups. Provided as moist beads or spheres with a fine particle size distribution (100–200 mesh), this polymer-based resin is optimized for analytical separations, deionization, and sample preparation workflows essential in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing research. It features a water retention capacity of 50–58% in the hydrogen form (H form) and remains insoluble in water, facilitating consistent performance in aqueous environments. Packaged in a 2.5 kg plastic bottle, it is suitable for laboratory and industrial-scale applications requiring reliable ion exchange performance. The resin’s physical and chemical characteristics make it critical in biotechnology processes such as molecular cloning purification steps, synthetic biology workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. The beige to brown color and precise mesh size distribution contribute to enhanced reproducibility in chromatographic and ion-exchange applications widely adopted in biomedical engineering and cell imaging research.
