This weak anion-exchange medium is designed for separation and purification of proteins, antigens, and other large biomolecules. It uses a hydrophilically modified polymethyl methacrylate matrix. Diethylaminoethyl groups provide weak anion-exchange selectivity. The 4000 Å pore structure improves accessibility for macromolecules and aggregates. Uniform pores and strong mechanical properties support stable packed-bed operation. The material provides relatively low backpressure during preparative processing. A stated lysozyme binding capacity of at least 80 mg/mL supports large-scale purification. The medium can be regenerated with salt and cleaned using sodium hydroxide or ethanol.
