Description
Efficient SMART™ IEX with Surface-Enhanced Weak Anion Exchange Resin
ZetaCell Q Boost from emp BIOTECH is a strong anion exchange agarose resin designed for SMART™ ion exchange chromatography. The resin features large-diameter, cross-linked agarose beads derivatized with quaternary ammonium (Q) ligands, delivering efficient biomolecule separation via anion exchange under high-throughput conditions. With optimized surface accessibility of exchange sites, ZetaCell Q Boost offers enhanced binding efficiency without compromising flow performance or resin robustness.
Its 250 µm average bead diameter and ≥ 80% uniformity in the 140–360 µm range make it ideally suited for unclogged flow in continuous bioprocessing systems. Compatible with linear velocities ≥ 2000 cm/h and stable at pressures up to 3 bar, it maintains performance across a broad pH spectrum and supports standard aqueous buffer systems used in downstream processing.
