POROS™ Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography Resins

POROS™ hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) resins are based on a 50 μm POROS core bead that uses a new coating procedure to enable functionalization with unique hydrophobic ligands.

These resins are suitable for lower salt concentration bonding - decomposition and continuous flow applications and have higher bonding capacity and solubility than conventional HIC resins, thus providing greater flexibility around the operating conditions of the process.

  • Differentiating selectivity and superior resolution capability which helps improve yield and purity, reduce cost of goods (COG)
  • High capacity for a range of molecules leading to reduced column size and smaller footprint
  • Use of lower salt concentrations and weaker lyotropic salts allowing for increased process optimization flexibility with lower conductivity while maintaining superior resolution
  • Flow rate independent performance
  • Robust stability

Key Features

  • 3 unique resins covering a wide range of hydrophobicity
  • High resolution even under lower conductivity conditions
  • High dynamic binding capacity and superior pressure flow characteristics












Separation comparison of POROS benzyl resin at different flow rates shows good solubility and flow rate independent performance.

** Separation of a standard protein mixture using POROS Ethyl, POROS Benzyl and POROS Benzyl Ultra resins.
Column size: 0.46cmD X 20cmL; Protein Mixture: Ribonuclease A, Lysozyme, Chymotrypsin and Chymotrypsinogen in 1.7M ammonium sulfate, 50mM sodium phosphate pH 7.0; Gradient Elution: 1.7M ammonium sulfate / 50 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.0 to 50 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.0, 10 column volumes (CV); Flow rate: 100 cm/h.


The new 50 µm resin backbone consists of cross-linked poly (styrene-divinylbenzene) with a unique pore structure that enables rapid bulk transport and increased productivity.
The particle surface is then coated with a novel polymer coating derived from a series of hydrophobic ligands for flexible purification process design.
POROS™ HIC resins provide a major improvement in the purification toolbox for superior performance and contamination removal regardless of flow rate.

  • It provides different selectivity and superior solubility ability, which helps to increase yield and purity and reduce product cost.
  • High capacity for a range of molecules leads to smaller column size and smaller footprint.
  • The use of lower salt concentrations and weaker lyotropic salts provides increased process optimization flexibility with lower conductivity while maintaining superior solubility
  • Flow rate independent performance
  • Robust stability
