Summary of ion exchange phases for SPE

Code	Matrix	Particle size	Pore size	Specification
PCA	silica	45 μm	60 Å	propylcarboxylic acid modification, weakly acid cation exchanger (WCX)
SA	silica	45 μm	60 Å	benzenesulphonic acid modification, strongly acidic cation exchanger (SCX)
PSA	silica	45 μm	60 Å	propylsulphonic acid modification, very strong cation exchanger
SB	silica	45 μm	60 Å	quaternary ammonia modification, strongly basic anion exchanger (SAX)
HR-XC	PS/DVB	85 µm	65-75 Å	benzenesulphonic acid modification, very strong mixed mode cation exchanger
PS-RP	PS/DVB	100 μm	100 Å	hydrophobic PS/DVB copolymer for removal of interfering organic components from water
PS-OH^–	PS/DVB	100 μm	100 Å	PS/DVB anion exchanger, OH^– form for removal or concentration of anions from water, increasing the pH value in acidic samples
PS-H⁺	PS/DVB	100 μm	100 Å	PS/DVB cation exchanger, H⁺ form for removal or concentration of cations from water, decreasing the pH value of basic samples
PS-Mix	PS/DVB	100 μm	100 Å	mixture of PS-H⁺ and PS-OH^– for desalting of water
PS-Ag⁺	PS/DVB	100 μm	100 Å	PS/DVB cation exchanger, Ag⁺ form for removal of halide ions from water
PS-Ba²⁺	PS/DVB	100 μm	100 Å	PS/DVB cation exchanger, Ba²⁺ form for removal of sulphate ions from water
