Capillary Ion Chromatography - Focus on Results. Uninterrupted.
Always ready
You need to generate sample results quickly and accurately, possibly around the clock. What if your ion chromatograph could operate without taking a break? Introducing Thermo Scientific Dionex Capillary Ion Chromatography systems.
What is Capillary IC?
Capillary IC is a technique where column size, injection volumes, and flow rates are reduced by a factor of 25 to 100. The technique can be used for most ion analysis applications, excluding those for polyacrylate treated water, borated water, metals and oligosaccharide analysis.
| Analytical | Capillary | |
|---|---|---|
| Column i.d. | 4mm | 0.4mm |
| Flow rate | 1.0mL/min | 0.010mL/min |
| Injection volume | 40µL | 0.1µL |
| Eluent consumption/waste generated | 43.2L/month | 0.432L/month |
| EGC cartridge lifetime (at 39 mM) | 5 months | 18 months |
What do customers think?
"Our Capillary IC system is usually analyzing samples day and night. The one day a month that it is not analyzing samples is when I change the water for the mobile phase (eluent) and re-equilibrate the system." – Alastair D. Bewsher, University of Manchester
"Capillary IC takes ice melting technology to a whole new level. Smaller volume injections require less ice which leaves more for other analyses. Sensitivity is also a major improvement. Limits of detection have gone down by an order of magnitude." – Dr. Erich Osterberg, Dartmouth College Department of Earth Sciences
