Ion Chromatography (ICS-5000+/900)

Ion chromatography is a chromatography process that separates ions and polar molecules based on their affinity to the ion exchanger. It works on almost any kind of charged molecule—including large proteins, small nucleotides, and amino acids. The ICS-5000 Ion Chromatography System is the world's first capillary ion chromatography (IC) system on the market and provides an impressive combination of increased productivity, expanded capabilities, and improved performance. Modular versatility, functional integration, and superior performance are available in ICS-5000.The ICS-900 Ion Chromatography System performs isocratic ion analyses using suppressed conductivity detection. It is an integrated ion chromatography system consisting of a pump, an injection valve, and a conductivity cell.

Applications

• The determination of anion and cation which involved in boiler water, waste water, combustion exhaust gas, tap water, serum, drugs, food, chemical and industrial products.

• Trace analysis of ultra-pure chemicals in the semiconductor industry.

• The amperometric detector can analyze sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar acids, polysaccharides and other electroactive substances that are easily oxidized or reduced.

• The main detected anion and cation:
  Anion: F^-, Cl^-, Br^-, NO₃^-, SO₄^2-, PO₄^3-  , C₂O₄^2-, etc.
  Cation: Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, NH₄⁺, etc.

Strengths

Rapid, continuous, efficient, high detection sensitivity with Abe detector, conductivity detector.
