Ion-Exchange Chromatography Technology is a chromatographic method in which ion-exchange resin or chemically bonded ion exchanger is used as the stationary phase and the difference of ion exchangeability or total charge of the separated components is used to achieve separation. This technique enables the separation of similar types of molecules that would be difficult to separate by other techniques because the charge carried by the molecule of interest can be readily manipulated by changing buffer pH.

Packing of chromatographic columns
The ion exchange separation process is usually carried out in chromatographic columns packed with an ion exchanger. -
Loading of the sample
After the column is packed, the solution to be assayed is placed on top of the column and allowed to pass through the bed of the ion exchanger with the help of a syringe or pipette. -
Developments of the chromatogram
Chromatograms were developed with the aid of different mobile phases. -
Analysis of detection of the eluate
Collecting the different components of the eluate and analyzing its content. -
Regeneration
After separation, it should not be disposed of due to its cost.
- Fast and convenient: a sample can get the results of 4-7 common ions in about 25 minutes.
- Good selectivity: micrograms per liter - milligrams per liter.
- Column stability: allows the determination of a variety of ionic compounds.
- Living environment: analysis of environmental water, drinking water, domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, etc.
- Biochemical research: separation and purification of inorganic ions, organic acids, nucleotides, amino acids, antibiotics, and other small molecular substances and biological macromolecular substances such as proteins.
- Others: analysis of organic compounds, drugs, pesticides, and surfactants.
