Amberlite XAD-2,

Application

Polyaromatic adsorbent resin for hydrophobic compounds up to MW 20,000: phenols, organic removal, surfactants, aroma compounds, antibiotic recovery. May be used as support for catalyst or metals removal. For cleaned US EPA versions, see Supelpak-2 and Supelpak-2B.     

• Amberlite^® XAD^®-2 was used as adsorbent in the extraction of organochlorine compounds using Soxhlat extraction technique.• Amberlite^® XAD^®-2 was used as adsorbent in the extraction of honey samples using column chromatography for HPLC analysis.• Amberlite^® XAD^®-2 was used in adsorption chromatography.

General description

Amberlite XAD-2, a hydrophobic copolymer of styrene-divinylbenzene resin, requires longer purification process and is commonly used as a sorbent. Amberlite XAD-2 resin sorbs organic compounds depending upon the aromaticity and size of the hydrophobic groups through low-energy physical interactions.

Nonionic macroreticular resin that adsorbs and releases ionic species through hydrophobic and polar interactions; usually used under isocratic conditions.Specifications:
