Dionex and Merck Millipore have signed a distribution agreement for the Merck Millipore ICW-3000 water purification system for Dionex ion chromatography systems using RFIC-EG technology.
Dionex is now able to sell the ICW-3000 water purifier and consumables directly to customers globally.
The ICW-3000 system was designed by Merck Millipore specifically as an ultrapure water source for Dionex Reagent-Free IC systems with 'Just Add Water' technology that eliminates the need for eluent preparation.
The purification system's easy installation with simple plumbing and control by the Dionex IC system is said to make it very convenient to use.
The ICW-3000 system provides a continual flow of ultrapure water to the eluent generator and separately for regeneration of the suppressor for up to two analytical-scale IC systems.
Water in the 10-litre reservoir is constantly purified, reducing ionic contaminants, as well as organics, to very low levels.
This decreases interferences and improves experiment reproducibility and sensitivity.
Concerns about system contamination caused by water of questionable purity are eliminated.
The water purification system is said to be ideal for capillary IC analysis on the Dionex ICS-5000 Capillary IC system.
The ICS-5000 system has a low demand for eluent water, and the continuous purification by the ICW-3000 water purification system provides ultrapure water for extended periods without refilling.
