Advanced
Ion Exchange Cellulose
Whatman Advanced Ion Exchange Cellulose (AIEC) and Column
Chromatography (CC) products are ideal for separation of
biopolymers and suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Available as:
- Preswollen microgranular AIEC for high load capacity
fast kinetics and resolution; saves time by eliminating need
for precycling prior to buffer equilibration
- Dry microgranular AIEC for similar performance
characteristics as preswollen media after precycling;
reduces possibility of bacterial growth
- Fibrous AIEC for maximum throughput at high flow rates
- Commonly used anion and cation exchange functional
groups: DEAE (diethylaminoethyl tertiary amine) and CM
(ether-linked carboxymethyl)
- Orthophosphate bifunctional cation exchanger for sharp
separation of medium molecular weight molecules

Anion
exchangers
The weak anion exchangers are based on the diethylaminoethyl
(DEAE) tertiary amine functional group. QA52 is a strongly basic
anion exchange medium, containing quaternary amine groups.
DE23 (fibrous)
Allows fast flow rates especially after fines removal; suitable
for negative charged biopolymers.
DE32 (dry microgranular)
Similar performance characteristics as DE52 after precycling.
DE51 (preswollen, microgranular)
Low overall net charge. For use with proteins bearing a high
negative charge and for nucleic acids. Suitable for isocratic
elution systems.
DE52 (preswollen, microgranular)
Probably the most widely used DEAE cellulose in the world; used
for biopolymers with low to high negative charges; exhibits
excellent resolution with good flow rates.
DE53 (preswollen, microgranular)
Partially quaternized DEAE anion exchanger, highly substituted
and with higher capacity than DE52; can be used in series with
DE51 and DE52 media.
QA52 (preswollen, microgranular)
A strongly basic, quaternary amine-bearing anion exchange
medium, moderately substituted, with high protein capacity.
Fully ionized, bears constant change under all pH conditions;
excellent for high pH applications.

Thin layer
chromatography (TLC)

Product innovations from Whatman have made Thin Layer Chromatography
(TLC) a practical laboratory tool for both qualitative and quantitative
analysis.
Features and Benefits
- Stringent quality standards assure a
consistent level of resolution, accuracy and reproducibility
- Multiple samples and standards can be run
simultaneously under identical conditions
- Wide range of chemistries and sizes to suit
your application needs
- Sample preparation is simplified because
plates are disposable
- Mobile phase need not be compatible with
detector
- Available with or without fluorescent
indicator
Linear-K: Fast, Accurate Spotting
Whatman pioneered the linear preadsorbent layer for easy, rapid and
accurate sample application. The layer actually acts as a sponge to
pre-concentrate the sample before it interacts with the silica layer. In
order to facilitate sample application and the pre-concentrating power
of the pre-adsorbent layer, Whatman made it thicker than the silica
layer. This allows the analyst to apply sample in amounts never before
attainable with standard TLC plates.
TLC Plates: Designations/Formats
Whatman has designed nomenclature as a simple and convenient way of
distinguishing between the different types of plates.
The symbol for silica gel is K (for Kieselgel), followed by a
qualifying number. K5: 10-12 µm silica, of pore size 150Å; K6: 10-12 µm
silica, of pore size 60Å.
The high performance silica is prefixed by the letters HP: HP-K 4.5
µm silica, pore size 60Å.
Reversed phase plates, with a bonded alkyl group, are represented by
a K followed by the length of the alkyl chain: KC-18 10-12 µm silica,
60Å, octadecyl bonded phase.
Additional format information is provided for each plate through the
following letter codes:
L Preadsorbent Layer
This compresses each spot into a narrow horizontal band. Hence, it is
known as Linear-K; prefix L.
D Channelled Plates
2 mm channels of clear glass separate each sample lane, preventing
crossover. D indicates division.
F Fluorescent Indicator
Fluorescent plates glow bright green under Shortwave UV light. Samples
which absorb shortwave UV at 254 nm are detected due to fluorescence
quenching.
M Microscope Slide
Plate size 1" x 3".
P Preparative Layer
Has 500 µm or 1000 µm thickness for large sample sizes.
Using these letter codes it is easy to define any TLC plate, for
example: PLK6DF = preparative K6 silica 60Å pore diameter featuring a
channelled, fluorescent plate and the preadsorbent layer.
