This weak cation-exchange medium is designed for purification of proteins, nucleic acids, and peptides. It uses six-percent crosslinked agarose functionalized with carboxymethyl groups. The weak-acid ligand provides pH-dependent selectivity for positively charged biomolecules. Large spherical particles create a highly permeable bed with low operating backpressure. The medium supports flow from 1200 to 1800 cm/h under the specified pressure condition. Broad chemical stability permits use with common buffers, sodium hydroxide, denaturants, and ethanol. The agarose matrix withstands the stated steam-treatment conditions. Its large-particle format supports rapid processing and straightforward scale-up.
