IONUS ION ANALYZER

The IONUS ION ANALYZER is suitable for the analysis of anions and cations in research, development and everyday routine as well as for water within the scope of environmentally relevant investigations. The sample solutions are mostly water based and may contain water-miscible organic solvents. A classic example is the analysis of (drinking) water according to EPA 300 Part A and B. The advantage of IONUS is the compatibility with IC columns of all manufactures and it is compatible with all common eluents of anion and cation chromatography. In a standard configuration the IONUS comes without a suppressor, which is sufficient for most analysis and applications technique. When applying without suppressor technique, it can happen that in the chromatogram the peak areas are very small due to very small conductivity. In order to measure smaller concentration ranges in anion analysis, the instrument can be equipped with suppressor technology with chemical based regeneration to lower the conductivity of the eluent. The IONUS also can be equipped with an UV/VIS detector. In this case the external UV/VIS detector can provide a remedy by using indirect UV detection for light-absorbing eluents. Another possibility is to use non-absorbent eluents for light-absorbing sample substances.
