Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 Strong Acid Cation Exchange Resin 100-200 Mesh 2.5kg

The Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 is a high-capacity *strong acid cation exchange resin* designed for efficient ion-exchange processes in laboratory and industrial settings. Composed of moist beige to brown beads featuring sulfonic acid functional groups, this resin provides excellent performance in *analytical separations*, *sample preparation*, and *deionization* workflows critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing research.

• Particle Size: 100-200 mesh, with strict particle size distribution (max 15% on 60 mesh, max 15% through 170 mesh) enabling precise and reproducible separation results.
• Capacity: Minimum total exchange capacity of 1.7 meq/mL (H form), supporting high-efficiency ion exchange essential in synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows.
• Water Retention: 50–58%, optimizing swelling and ion accessibility in aqueous media relevant for biomanufacturing and clinical diagnostics.
• Physical Form: Moist beads insoluble in water, packaged conveniently in a 2.5 kg plastic bottle for easy handling and long-term storage.
• Applications: Widely adopted in biotechnology for *ion exchange chromatography*, *water deionization*, and *purification of biomolecules* in research areas such as *gene editing*, *biopharmaceutical production*, and *cell imaging preparation*.
• Compliance: Originates from the United States and conforms with relevant trade classifications under Harmonized Code 391400 for polymer-based ion exchangers.

This resin is critical for labs involved in biotechnology and molecular biology research, especially those requiring precise, reliable ion exchange media for *bioprocessing*, *molecular diagnostics*, and *synthetic biology* applications. Its fine mesh size and high exchange capacity make it suitable for demanding *biomedical engineering* and *clinical diagnostic* workflows.
