Dionex Announces Reagent-Free IC March 17, 2010
Dionex Corp. has introduced capillary ion chromatography into its new ICS-5000 Reagent-Free Ion Chromatography (RFIC) system. The new system combines features of other Dionex high-end products with capillary IC into one dual system. Using IC x IC technology in capillary and analytical modes, chemists can now achieve ultralow detection limits without the cost and operational challenges of a mass spectrometer.
Additionally, by using higher linear flow rates and pressure-optimized consumables, the ICS-5000 system has been optimized for Fast IC, which shortens run times to as low as 3–5 minutes, increasing laboratory throughput by up to four times. As capillary IC requires only 400 nL samples, the ICS-5000 system is an ideal platform for expanding into biological applications, such as metabolomics.
Each system module provides easy access to key components, making reconfiguration and maintenance easier than ever. The innovative Cap IC Cube module house all of the capillary consumables in one convenient package, simplifying handling and ensuring minimum dead volumes. The chemically inert flow path withstands pH extremes and protects sensitive samples from metal contamination. With eluent generation and capillary column chemistries, the ICS-5000 provides 3 months of uninterrupted (Always Ready) operation with just 2 L of deionized water, increasing convenience and reducing waste by a hundredfold.
The ICS-5000 is fully supported by the Chromeleon 6 and Chromeleon 7 Chromatography Data Systems providing extensive instrument control, data management, reporting, and compliance features.
