IMINODIACETIC ACID RESIN Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Chelex is used in affinity chromatography, protein chromatography, chelating resins, affinity resins and core bioreagents.

Uses

Chelex^? 100 sodium form may be used in the removal of trace metals from artificial and natural seawater without changing the major cation-anion composition or contributing organic toxicants or chelators. It may be used in 2-deoxy-D-ribose degradation assay.

General Description

Chelex 100 is a chelating resin. It can be used for the separation of uranium from fresh water. Chelex 100 sodium form is the sodium form of purified chelex-100. Chelex 100 is chelating ion exchanger useful for the separation of inorganic ions.

reaction suitability

reaction type: solution phase peptide synthesis

Biological Activity

Chelex(R) 100 is a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer containing paired iminodiacetate ions, which act as chelating groups in binding polyvalent metal ions. It is considered a weakly acidic resin. Chelex acts as a chelating resin th at is used in DNA extraction from forensic samples, such as hair, bloodstain cards, and buccal swabs.
