General description

Carboxens are a highly engineered synthetic carbon adsorbent engineered from polymeric precursors. These particles will not plastically deform like resins or generate fines like activated carbon. These materials are shipped and stored dried. These derivatized resins bring value to a wide range of purification applications for removing both small and large molecule impurities. They find use in both gas and liquid phase purifications. Some examples include removal of homogenous catalysts from active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)s, high-risk impurities in biochemical purifications such as host cell proteins from mAbs, removal of toxic heavy metals, purification of chlorinated molecules, and removal of extractables and leachables. Tapered pores result in increased thermodynamic and kinetic properties for both adsorption and desorption. The Carboxens vary in the relative percentage of pore structures (micro, meso, and macro), surface area, and surface pH.

Application


  • Evaluation of selected solid adsorbents for passive sampling of atmospheric oil and natural gas non-methane hydrocarbons: This study assesses different adsorbents including Carboxen for capturing non-methane hydrocarbons in the air, crucial for environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance (Helmig et al., 2022).

  • Application of Thin-Film Microextraction to Analyze Volatile Metabolites in A549 Cancer Cells: Discusses the application of Carboxen adsorbents in microextraction techniques for analyzing volatile compounds from cancer cells, demonstrating its utility in medical research and diagnostics (Filipiak et al., 2021).

  • Analysis of volatile organic compounds in indoor environments: The study uses Carboxen adsorbents for sampling and analysis of indoor air pollutants through gas chromatography, highlighting its application in improving indoor air quality and health (Veenaas et al., 2020).

  • New approach to resolve the humidity problem in VOC determination in outdoor air samples: This research addresses challenges in using Carboxen adsorbents for environmental VOC sampling, emphasizing improvements in the accuracy of air quality assessments (Maceira et al., 2017).

  • Measurement of breakthrough volumes of volatile chemical warfare agents on a poly(2,6-diphenylphenylene oxide)-based adsorbent: This paper evaluates the efficiency of Carboxen adsorbents in capturing chemical warfare agents, indicating its potential in security and environmental protection applications (Kanamori-Kataoka et al., 2015).

The headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) efficiencies from vegetable oil of the recently available Carboxen-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and divinylbenzene-Carboxen-PDMS fibres were found to be much greater than those of the PDMS fibre for a number of volatile contaminants. Using these Carboxen-based fibres
