Ion Exchange Chromatography Resins
Ion exchange chromatography (IEX) is a cornerstone of biopharmaceutical purification, offering powerful selectivity based on charge interactions. It is widely applied for the capture, intermediate purification, and polishing of proteins, antibodies, vaccines, and viral vectors, making it a trusted technique across research and regulated GMP manufacturing.
Astrea Bioseparations provides a comprehensive portfolio of PuraBead® IEX resins, including strong exchangers such as Q PuraBead® Edge and SP PuraBead® Edge, designed to deliver enhanced resolution for challenging separations. Established formats such as Q, SP, DEAE, and CM resins are also available, providing flexibility across diverse purification strategies.
All of our IEX resins are built on the proprietary PuraBead® base bead, manufactured using our unique atomisation technology. This base provides exceptional mechanical strength, low backpressure, and reproducible performance, ensuring robust scalability from discovery to commercial production.
