Dionex has released three compact, integrated reagent-free ion chromatography (RFIC) systems that combine IC with electrolytic sample preparation (RFIC-ESP).
All three systems can be equipped with optional six- or 10-port valves to automate IC sample preparation and support 2mm and 4mm chemistries without pump-head changes.
Optional column heaters and vacuum degassers provide reproducible retention times.
Standard features include integrated conductivity detection and electrolytic suppression.
The Dionex ICS-2100 features the electrolytic eluent generation (RFIC-EG) system, which provides the highest chromatographic precision and enables powerful gradient separations with an isocratic dual-piston pump.
The ICS-2100 is the first instrument offering RFIC-ESP for trace analysis down to parts-per-trillion levels for anions and cations.
The combination of a single pump and an integrated electrolytic water purifier provides outstanding results.
The Dionex ICS-1100 and Dionex ICS-1600 are integrated systems that offer eluent regeneration (ER).
These RFIC-ER systems deliver consistent chromatographic results for up to 28 days with a single preparation of eluent.
The IC is always on and always ready to analyse the next sample, simplifying operation and reducing labour costs.
Automated sample preparation techniques featured on these instruments include automated filtration, matrix removal and analyte pre-concentration.
A new autosampler with random access, online sample-filtration and full software control provides automatic sample loading.
The Chromeleon 7 Chromatography Data System software, the new IC systems and the autosampler allow automated routine water analysis for environmental, food safety and water markets and the power and semiconductor industries.
