IEC SP-5025 300x50mm Ion Exchange Preparative Column

The Shodex IEC SP-5025 preparative HPLC column 300x50mm, 37µm, combines a large-pore, hydrophilic polyhydroxymethacrylate gel with sulfopropyl groups as a strong cation exchanger. The large-scale, coarse-particle packing bed is designed for very high sample masses, low flow resistance and the transfer of SP selectivity to the larger preparative scale. Shodex IEC SP-5025 is used for the recovery and purification of proteins, peptides, enzymes and other cationic biomolecules.

Features and Benefits

• Strong and weak ion exchangers
• Anion and cation phases
• Large-pore materials for biomolecules
• Non-porous option for rapid separations
• Hydrophilic polymer backbones

Additional Notes

The IEX Series combines polyhydroxymethacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, and styrene-divinylbenzene frameworks. Quaternary ammonium and sulfopropyl groups act as strong ion exchangers, while DEAE and carboxymethyl groups act as weak ion exchangers. Large-pore packing improves access for proteins and nucleic acids, while nonporous particles offer particularly short transport paths. The choice of phase depends on net charge, isoelectric point, molecular size, and the desired elution strategy.
