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.
