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 featuring sulfonic acid functional groups that deliver efficient cation exchange performance. Supplied as moist beads or spheres with a 100-200 mesh particle size, it is optimized for precise analytical separations, sample preparation, and water deionization in laboratory and biotechnology workflows.

Key technical specifications include:

• Total wet volume capacity: ≥1.7 meq/mL in H form
• Water retention capacity: 50-58% (H form)
• Physical form: Moist beige to brown beads
• Particle size distribution: Max 15% on 60 mesh, max 15% through 170 mesh
• Chemical identifiers: CAS 11119-67-8, MDL MFCD00132726
• Solubility: Insoluble in water
• Packaged in a 2.5 kg plastic bottle, produced in the United States with high batch consistency and minimal cosmetic variation.

This resin is essential for bioprocessing, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing applications requiring reliable ion exchange for cation removal or separation. Widely used in biotechnology research, it supports workflows in synthetic biology, gene editing, and molecular cloning by enabling controlled ion environments and purity improvements. Its polymer-based ion-exchanger composition suits biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics laboratories demanding consistent ion exchange resin performance.
