SiliaSep Flash Cartridges - Ion Exchange Phases

> back to SiliaSep Flash Cartridges Portfolio

In ion exchange mode, the silica support is modified by a function carrying a charge with its counter-ion. This counter-ion is exchangeable with other ions in solution.

  • If the immobilized phase is carrying an anion, the exchangeable species is a cation.
  • Inversely, if the immobilized phase carries a cation, the ion exchangeable species will be an anion.

Ion exchange phases are widely used in separation and purification.

Our pre-packed ion exchange phases cartridges are available in two silica gel grades:

  • SiliaSep, irregular 40-63 microns silica
  • SiliaSep PREMIUM, spherical 25 microns silica
SiliaSep Description
SiliaSep PREMIUM SAX nec (TMA Chloride)
FLH-66595D-A
The quaternary amine is permanently charged (pH independent). It is commonly used for the extraction of weak anions (such as carboxylic acids) that may not bind strongly enough to weaker anion exchangers. Analysis of acidic drugs and analgesics, biomolecules (peptides and proteins) and water-soluble vitamins (vitamins B and C).
SiliaSep SAX nec (TMA Chloride)
FLH-R66530B
SiliaSep PREMIUM SAX-2 nec (TMA Acetate)
FLH-66495D-A
The acetate counter-ion is easily exchangeable (more than the chloride ion) for compounds with pKa < 5, such as carboxylic acids. This phase can be used in organic chemistry applications to selectively purify acidic compounds or remove acidic impurities from reaction mixtures.
SiliaSep SAX-2 nec (TMA Acetate)
FLH-R66430B
SiliaSep PREMIUM Amine (WAX)
FLH-52095D-A
A weak anion exchanger with a pKa of 9.8. At pH 7.8 or below, the functional groups are positively charged. It facilitates the rapid release of very strong anions such as sulfonic acids that may be too strongly retained on SAX.
SiliaSep Amine (WAX)
FLH-R52030B
SiliaSep WCX (Carboxylic Acid)
FLH-R70030B
A weak cation exchanger with a pKa of 4.8. A pH of 2.8 or below is needed to neutralize the phase and easily elute strong cationic analytes that are neutralized only at extreme basic conditions. This phase is commonly used for the extraction of strong cationic species, which would bind too strongly to strong cation exchangers.
SiliaSep PREMIUM SCX (Tosic Acid)
FLH-60595D-A
Due to the very low pKa (< 1) these functions are strong cation exchangers since they maintain a negative charge throughout the pH scale. The most common use is likely for catch and release purification of weak cations (for example basic drugs and analgesics), analysis of basic biomolecules (peptides and proteins) and water-soluble vitamins (basic vitamins B and C).
SiliaSep SCX (Tosic Acid)
FLH-R60530B
SiliaSep PREMIUM SCX-2 (Propylsulfonic Acid)
FLH-51295D-A
SiliaSep SCX-2 (Propylsulfonic Acid)
FLH-R51230B
