Chelex® 100 is a chelating resin primarily composed of polystyrene divinylbenzene that is functionalized with iminodiacetic acid groups. This resin is designed to selectively bind metal ions, making it particularly useful in various applications, including metal ion extraction, water treatment, and analytical chemistry. Its ability to form stable complexes with divalent and trivalent metal ions, such as lead, copper, and iron, allows for effective removal or separation of these ions from solutions. Chelex® 100 is often employed in molecular biology for DNA extraction, where it helps to eliminate metal ions that could inhibit enzymatic reactions. The resin is typically supplied in a dry form and can be used in both batch and column chromatography setups. Its operational pH range is broad, allowing for versatility in different chemical environments. Additionally, Chelex® 100 is known for its high capacity and efficiency in binding metal ions, making it a valuable tool in both research and industrial applications.

<p>Chelex 100 is a chelating agent that binds metal ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+, and Fe3+ to form stable complexes. It is often used in the preparation of biological samples for analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The stability of metal complexes with Chelex 100 has been found to be pH dependent. Chelex 100 can also be used to form DNA-protein complexes suitable for laser ablation electrophoresis, which can be used to analyze genomic DNA. The following are important points about Chelex 100: • It is a chelating agent that binds metal ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+, and Fe3+. • It is often used in the preparation of biological samples for analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chrom</p>
