AG 50W and AG MP-50 Cation Exchange Resins

The AG 50W resin, AG MP-50 macroporous resin, and the biotechnology grade AG 50W resin all offer strong acid cation exchange capabilities.

The AG 50W resin, AG MP-50 macroporous resin, and the biotechnology grade AG 50W resin all offer strong acid cation exchange capabilities. The AG 50W resin has been exhaustively sized, purified, and converted to provide accurate, reproducible analytical results. Biotechnology grade AG 50W resin is analytical grade resin that is certified to contain less than 100 microorganisms per gram of resin.

AG 50W and AG MP-50 strong acid cation exchange resins are useful for single-step purification methods, for concentrating cationic solutes, and for analytical determinations of various mixed cationic solutes. They are composed of sulfonic acid functional groups attached to a styrene divinylbenzene copolymer lattice. The amount of resin crosslinking determines the bead pore size: a resin with a lower crosslinkage has a more open structure that is more permeable to high molecular weight substances than a highly crosslinked resin.

AG MP-50 resin is the macroporous equivalent of AG 50W resin. Its effective surface area approximates 35 square meters per dry gram, or 30–35% porosity.
