Description

Product Information

The Thermo Scientific Dowex 50WX8 is a high-performance ion-exchange resin specifically designed for advanced separation techniques such as ion exchange chromatography and low-pressure liquid chromatography (LPLC). Model Dowex 50WX8, renowned for its effective cation exchange, operates in its hydrogen form and features a strongly acidic sulfonic acid functional group. Its fine 200-400 mesh bead structure ensures high-resolution separations, ideal for water deionization, biochemical separations, and sample purification. Packed in a 2.5 KG bottle, it boasts mechanical and chemical stability with an 8% cross-linked styrene-divinylbenzene matrix. The product is of new condition, offering efficient proton exchange and mechanical reliability. Store under ambient conditions in a sealed container to preserve its potency.
