Description:
Express-Ion® media are matrices whose flow characteristics have been greatly improved. The manufacturing process has been optimized so that the matrix retains its inherent property of fast kinetics of adsorption and desorption. Media characteristics are; EXPRESS-ION D: A weak anion exchange cellulose substituted with diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) groups and recommended for separations between pH 2 and pH 9. EXPRESS-ION Q: Strong anion exchange cellulose having general applicability in separations requiring an anion exchange step, with the benefit of wide pH versatility. The N,N,N-trimethyl hydroxypropyl amine (quaternary amine) group is fully ionized throughout pH range 2-12. EXPRESS-ION C: Moderately acidic cation exchange cellulose. A weak ion exchanger recommended for separations between pH 4.5 and pH 10 to ensure the carboxymethyl functional group remains ionized. EXPRESS-ION S: Strongly acidic cation exchange cellulose having general applicability in separations requiring a cation exchange step, with the benefit of wide pH versatility. The sulfoxyethyl functional group is fully ionized throughout the pH range 2-12.
