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

Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 is a high-efficiency strong acid cation exchange resin featuring sulfonic acid functional groups optimized for effective cation exchange in analytical separations and sample preparation workflows. Supplied as moist beads or spheres in a fine 100-200 mesh particle size, this resin provides excellent surface area and exchange capacity critical for precise laboratory applications.

Key technical specifications include:

• Total wet volume capacity (H form): minimum 1.7 meq/mL
• Water retention capacity: 50-58%
• Insoluble in water, maintaining structural integrity during ion exchange processes
• Supplied in 2.5 kg packaging within a durable, easy-to-handle plastic bottle
• Particle size controlled with max 15% cumulative on 60 mesh and max 15% through 170 mesh ensuring uniformity

Manufactured in the United States, Dowex 50WX8 resin is widely adopted in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, playing a vital role in ion exchange chromatography, water deionization, and biotechnology sample preparation. Its strong acid cation exchange properties make it essential for laboratories focusing on high-precision analytical chemistry and synthetic biology research.

This resin is also ideal for critical applications in biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics requiring reliable and reproducible cation separation performance. The polymer-based ion exchanger conforms with harmonized code 391400, emphasizing its classification as a polymeric ion exchange resin used in advanced laboratory and biotechnological processes.
