Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 Strong Acid Cation Ion-Exchange Resin for Analytical Separation and Deionization

The Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 ion-exchange resin is a high-capacity, strong acid cation resin engineered for effective analytical separation, deionization, and sample preparation in laboratory and biotechnology workflows. This resin contains sulfonic acid functional groups facilitating efficient cation exchange critical in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biomanufacturing applications.

Key technical features include:

• Particle size: 100-200 mesh (with ≤15% max on 60 mesh) ensuring fine separation and uniform resin performance
• Chemical form: Moist beads or spheres, beige to brown in color, insoluble in water
• Capacity: Wet volume capacity in H form minimum of 1.7 meq/mL, with high water retention (50-58%) supporting consistent ion exchange
• Packaging: Supplied in a 2.5 kg plastic bottle appropriate for routine laboratory use

This polymer-based ion-exchange resin, compliant with CAS number 11119-67-8 and MDL MFCD00132726, is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and clinical diagnostics for its reliability in maintaining sample purity and facilitating ion-specific separation critical to biotechnology workflows. Its compatibility with biomedical engineering and cell imaging applications makes it essential for precise gene editing and molecular cloning workflows that require stringent ion control.

The resin’s physical and chemical stability, combined with robust ion exchange capacity, supports critical functions in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and other advanced research fields demanding superior cation exchange performance.
