Ion-exchange resin beads. An ion-exchange resin or ion-exchange polymer is a resin or polymer that acts as a medium for ion exchange, that is also known as an ionex. [1] It is an insoluble matrix (or support structure) normally in the form of small (0.25–1.43 mm radius) microbeads, usually white or yellowish, fabricated from an organic polymer substrate.
Examples of functional groups of Weak ion exchange resins include diethylaminoethyl (DEAE, -C 2 H 4 N(C 2 H 5) 2), which is an anion exchanger, and carboxymethyl (CM, -CH 2-COOH), [35] which is a cation exchanger. These two types of exchangers can maintain the charge density of their columns over a pH range of 5–9.
Strong acid cation (SAC) resins: Composed of a polystyrene matrix with a sulphonate (SO 3-) functional group. Used in softening or demineralization processes. Weak acid cation (WAC) resins: Composed of an acrylic polymer and carboxylic acid functional groups. Used to selectively remove cations associated with alkalinity.
The resin is a weak exchanger because it is only partially ionized over most pH values, and an efficient separation with DEAE-C chromatography requires a specific, narrow pH range. [ 8 ] Cellulose, dextran, agarose, and other insoluble complexes are unaffected because they compose inert matrices, hence why they are so often derivatized with ...
The second application example for the MCSGP prototype is the separation of three MAb variants using a preparative weak cation-exchange resin. Although the intermediately eluting MAb variant can only be obtained with 80% purity at recoveries close to zero in a batch chromatographic process, the MCSGP process can provide 90% purity at 93% yield.

Chelating resins have the same bead form and polymer matrix as usual ion exchangers. Their main use is for pre-concentration of metal ions in a dilute solution. Chelating ion-exchange resins are used for brine decalcification in the chlor-alkali industry, the removal of boron from potable water, and the recovery of precious metals in solutions.
