Q1: What is the primary functional mechanism of DIAION HP 20?
A: DIAION HP 20 is a macroporous, non-ionic adsorption resin based on styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer. Its high surface area and well-developed pore structure enable selective physical adsorption of organic compounds—particularly medium-to-low polarity molecules—via hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals forces.
Q2: Is DIAION HP 20 suitable for pharmaceutical or nutraceutical purification processes?
A: Yes—DIAION HP 20 is widely used in the purification of natural extracts, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and functional food components due to its chemical stability across broad pH ranges, low extractables profile, and compatibility with common solvents including water, alcohols, and acetone. It meets general industry expectations for GMP-aligned downstream processing.
Q3: How is DIAION HP 20 typically regenerated after saturation?
A: Regeneration is commonly achieved using polar organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, or acetone—often followed by water rinsing. The choice and sequence of eluents depend on the adsorbed compound’s polarity and matrix complexity. Thermal regeneration is not recommended, as the resin is designed for solvent-based recovery under ambient or mildly elevated temperatures.
Q4: Can DIAION HP 20 be used in continuous chromatographic systems?
A: Yes—it is compatible with fixed-bed columns, simulated moving bed (SMB), and other continuous separation platforms. Its uniform spherical morphology, mechanical strength, and low pressure drop characteristics support stable long-term operation in both laboratory-scale and industrial-scale chromatographic configurations.
