High-Pressure Ion Chromatography System Offers High Performance for Routine Analyses
Apr 30 2012
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc have announced the Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-4000, the world's first commercially available integrated capillary high-pressure ion chromatography (HPICTM) system, incorporating multiple detector options in one instrument. The new system is ideal for demanding 24/7 routine analyses, offering speed without
compromising resolution in a compact, integrated instrument. The sleek Dionex ICS-4000 capillary HPIC system conserves laboratory space, simplifies operation and enhances overall system performance. To maximise the compound information obtained in a single run, it integrates conductivity (CD), electrochemical (ED) and the new Thermo Scientific Dionex QD charge detectors.
The Dionex QD is a revolutionary new detector that offers enhanced sensitivity and linearity for weakly dissociated ions such as organic acids, amines and silicate - all compounds that are not easily detected using conductivity detection alone. In combination with suppressed conductivity detection, the Dionex QD offers peak purity information and peak
identification. "The Dionex ICS-4000 capillary HPIC system offers new levels of chromatographic speed, without compromising resolution, and 24/7 uptime," said John Plohetski, Vice President and General Manager, IC/SP, Thermo Fisher. "With multiple detection choices available in an easy-to-use, dedicated system and a small footprint, it is the perfect choice for routine analyses in key industries such as environmental, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biopharma.
" By requiring no start-up time, no equilibration and minimal calibration, the Dionex ICS-4000 is always ready for analysis. It is a Reagent-FreeTM (RFIC(TM)) system that uses deionised water to electrolytically generate high purity eluents. Designed to save time, labour and operating costs, capillary RFIC systems offer 24/7 instrument operation, eliminate errors associated with manual eluent preparation and consume remarkably little water - only 5.25 L per year.
The Dionex ICS-4000 offers full Thermo Scientific Dionex Chromeleon chromatography software to streamline a laboratory's path from samples to results.
