Perform reliable, basic anion and cation analyses with the Thermo Scientific Dionex Aquion ion chromatography system. This simple, compact ion chromatography (IC) instrument, commonly used for water analysis, is designed for ease of use and straightforward operation for budget-limited labs. It supports electrolytic suppression and includes a vacuum degasser for inline degassing of eluents. It also offers fast start-up times and reliable, stable performance for demanding applications in environmental, food safety, and academic laboratories.
Conductivity detection
The inert, nonmetallic PEEK flow path of the Dionex Aquion IC system is designed and optimized for applications using conductivity detection. It ensures compatibility with corrosive eluents and IC analyses free from metal contamination. The high-performance conductivity cell is temperature controlled to protect against ambient temperature variations. Digital control of the cell offers a wide, dynamic range for detection.
Suppressor compatibility
The Dionex Aquion IC system supports both chemical and electrolytic suppression technologies. Suppressors remove conductive ions from the eluent to increase analyte signal while decreasing background noise. This enables the highest possible sensitivity and lowest detection limits for conductivity detection.
Optional column heater
Get increased precision and run applications at elevated temperatures with an optional column heater. The column heater preheats the eluent prior to entering the column and maintains the column temperature set by the user. Heater temperature can be set between 30°C and 60°C.
