WorkBeads™ 100S
CONTACT US
The WorkBeads™ 100S and WorkBeads 100Q resins for ion exchange chromatography
are designed for industrial purification that requires high flow rate and low backpressure.
The products are intended for use in the purification of proteins, peptides and oligonucleotides
by utilizing the difference in surface charge.
WorkBeads 100S is a strong cation exchanger with sulfonate ligands.
WorkBeads 100Q is a strong anion exchanger with quaternary amine ligands.
• High throughput and scalability
• Reliable and reproducible results
• High chemical stability for easy cleaning-inplace
Resin description
WorkBeads are agarose-based chromatographic resins manufactured using a proprietary method
that results in porous beads with a tight size distribution and exceptional mechanical stability.
Agarose based matrices have been successfully used for decades in biotechnology purification, from research to
production scale, due to their exceptional compatibility with biomolecules including proteins, peptides,
nucleic acids and carbohydrates. WorkBeads resins are designed for separations requiring optimal capacity and purity.
WorkBeads 100S is a strong cation exchange resin derivatized with sulfonates as functional groups.
WorkBeads 100Q is a strong anion exchanger derivatized with quaternary amines as functional groups.
