Is Deae Cellulose Anion or Cation Exchanger

DEAE-cellulose contains an diethylaminoethyl group. It is positively charged at neutral pH and so DEAE-cellulose is a weak anion exchanger. The Sepharose types are particularly useful for the separation of high molecular weight proteins.

What is DEAE ion exchange chromatography?

Anion-exchange chromatography is a process that separates substances based on their charges using an ion-exchange resin containing positively charged groups, such as diethyl-aminoethyl groups (DEAE). In solution, the resin is coated with positively charged counter-ions (cations).

What is example of anion exchanger used in ion exchange chromatography?

Examples of functional groups of Weak ion exchange resins include diethylaminoethyl (DEAE, -C2H4N(CH2H5)2), which is an anion exchanger, and carboxymethyl (CM, -CH2-COOH), which is a cation exchanger. These two types of exchangers can maintain the charge density of their columns over a pH range of 5–9.
