Description
Efficient SMART™ IEX with Surface-Enhanced Weak Anion Exchange Resin
ZetaCell DEAE Boost from emp BIOTECH is a large-bead weak anion exchange agarose resin tailored for SMART™ ion exchange chromatography. The solid phase is composed of highly cross-linked beaded agarose derivatized with diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) ligands, strategically localized at the bead surface to enhance ion exchange availability. This surface-enhanced design increases binding efficiency while maintaining excellent flow dynamics.
The average 250 µm bead size, with ≥ 80% in the 140–360 µm range, enables unhindered passage of cells and debris through the packed bed, making it ideal for clarified or unclarified feedstocks in continuous bioprocessing. ZetaCell DEAE Boost is chemically stable across a broad pH range and supports fast, scalable separations with linear flow rates ≥ 2000 cm/h.
