What Does IEC Stand For?
IEC stands for Ion Exchange Chromatography
IEC, or Ion Exchange Chromatography, is a powerful analytical and purification technique used to separate and analyze charged biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids, based on their net charge. This method utilizes a stationary phase composed of charged resin beads that interact with the ionic species in a sample. By manipulating factors such as pH, ionic strength, and gradient elution, IEC enables high-resolution separation, allowing for the effective purification and characterization of various biomolecular compounds in research and pharmaceutical applications.
