This strong cation-exchange medium is designed for purification and primary fractionation of large biological molecules. It uses a polymethyl methacrylate matrix with a hydrophilic surface modification. Sulfonic-acid groups provide strong cation-exchange functionality. The 4000 Å pore structure is intended to improve access for proteins, antigens, and other macromolecules. Uniform pore channels and rigid particles support stable chromatographic performance. The medium provides lower backpressure than many conventional soft-gel media. A lysozyme binding capacity of at least 75 mg/mL supports preparative processing. The resin can be regenerated with salt and cleaned using sodium hydroxide or ethanol.
