Reagent-Free Ion Chromatography with Electrolytic Sample Preparation
RFIC-ESP™ systems enable a range of automated sample
preparation techniques which utilize proprietary electrolytic
devices to provide reduced cost and higher value analyses.
RFIC-ESP devices and techniques can be used for removing cations
from an anion sample before analysis by using a Dionex CR-TC
device, or neutralizing a strongly acidic or basic solution-25%
phosphoric acid or sodium hydroxide solutions, for
example-with an AutoNeutralization™ device. A new
Electrolytic Water Purifier is available which provides water of
extremely high purity (backgrounds below sub ng/L levels are
possible) for use in trace-level analytical work where use of a
concentrator column is necessary.
RFIC-ESP Systems Provide Several
Advantages:
- Automated techniques are highly reproducible,
instrument-to-instrument and lab-to-lab
- Automated techniques are not prone to human error and
inconsistencies, as are manual methods
- Reduced manual operation results in reduced labor costs and
sample processing time
- No sample loading pump is necessary, resulting in reduced
system costs
- Ultra low backgrounds from online electrolytic water
purification, permit routine ng/L level trace analysis
- Automated purification, concentration, and calibrations all
reduce labor costs and improve result quality
