How do I determine the ionic loading capacity for Oasis MAX and MCX? - WKB93651

Article number: 93651

ENVIRONMENT

  • Solid-phase extraction (SPE)
  • Oasis

ANSWER

The ionic loading capacity is based on the milli-equilvants for the sorbent. For Oasis MAX, it is 0.25 meq/gram.

The equation for determining the ionic load for a compound:

clipboard_ebbc42b298bad62a85ec93ed48c9ae59b.png

mass = the total mass of the compound being loaded onto the sorbant

valence = the valence of the functional group

MW =  molecular weight of the charged compound

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Oasis MCX ion exchange capacity is 1 meq/gram.

Note: Some Waters resources state 0.3 meq/gram and some state 0.25 meq/gram for Oasis MAX.
