Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 Analytical Strong Acid Cation Exchange Resin 2.5 kg

The Acros Organics Dowex 50WX8 ion exchange resin (model 335340025) is a strong acid cation exchange resin widely used in analytical separations, sample preparation, and deionization processes. This resin features:

• Particle Size: Fine mesh 100-200, with ≤15% max on 60 mesh and ≤15% max through 170 mesh, ensuring consistent ion exchange kinetics.
• Total Ion Exchange Capacity: Minimum wet volume capacity of 1.7 meq/mL in the H form for efficient cation exchange.
• Chemical Composition: Contains high-capacity sulfonic acid functional groups for selective cation binding, critical for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.
• Physical Form: Moist beads or spheres, beige to brown in color, facilitating uniform flow in chromatography and biomanufacturing systems.
• Water Retention Capacity: 50–58% in H form to maintain hydration and optimize ion exchange performance in aqueous solutions.
• Solubility: Insoluble in water, supporting long-term stability in laboratory environments.
• Packaging: Supplied in a 2.5 kg plastic bottle, suitable for routine laboratory and industrial applications.

This strong acid cation exchange resin is essential for researchers in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics involving bioprocessing, gene editing, and synthetic biology. Its robust chemical stability and high ion-exchange capacity make it critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular cloning workflows where precise ion removal and purification are needed.

Optimized for laboratory resin applications, the Dowex 50WX8 resin supports advanced fluorescence analysis, cell imaging preparations, and live-cell imaging sample processing through effective deionization and separation steps. It is suited to both small-scale analytical labs and large-scale biomanufacturing environments.
