Ion Chromatography (IC) is a highly effective analytical technique used to separate and analyze ions in solution. It is widely used in laboratories for the detection and quantification of both anions (e.g., chloride, sulfate) and cations (e.g., sodium, calcium) in various samples. This method is essential for applications where precise identification of ionic compounds is critical.

OIC-900 Features：

1. Streamlined box-like appearance, exquisite and elegant. Built-in eluent chamber and column heating chamber, with stronger structural integrity.

2. The eluent preheating function reduces the interference of mobile phase temperature changes, shortens the system equilibrium time, and makes the baseline more stable.

3. The column temperature box is built-in, and the column temperature chamber and the detector chamber are equipped with heat insulation layers. The two chambers have independent temperature control without interfering with each other, and the temperature control accuracy is higher and more stable.

4. Electric valve injection and manual mechanical valve injection are optional, and the injector can also be used for automatic injection.

5. Highly sensitive and large-capacity bipolar conductivity detector with lower detection limit and wider measurement range.

6. The new V3.0 chromatography workstation has a higher degree of intelligent automation and stronger compliance management.

How Ion Chromatography Works

Ion chromatography operates by passing a liquid sample through a column filled with a stationary phase that selectively interacts with the ions present in the sample. As the sample moves through the column, ions are separated based on their charge and affinity for the stationary phase. The separated ions are then detected using a conductivity detector or other types of detectors.

Key components of an IC system include:

1. Pump: Delivers the sample and mobile phase through the column.

2. Column: Contains the stationary phase, where separation occurs.

3. Detector: Identifies and quantifies the ions as they elute from the column.

4. Suppression System: Enhances the sensitivity and accuracy of detection by reducing background signals.

Types of Ion Chromatography

1. Anion Chromatography:Used to separate and analyze negatively charged ions (e.g., chloride, nitrate, sulfate).Commonly used for water quality testing and environmental analysis.

2. Cation Chromatography: Focuses on separating and quantifying positively charged ions (e.g., sodium, potassium, calcium).Important in fields like pharmaceuticals and environmental monitoring.

3. Reversed-Phase Ion Chromatography: A specialized form of IC where a reversed-phase column is used for both anions and cations.

The Ion Chromatography instrument price depends on the system's features, brand, and application, with advanced models offering higher precision and automation. Similarly, the Ion exchange Chromatography price varies based on the complexity and intended use of the equipment. Both techniques are highly regarded for their reliability and accuracy in industries such as environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and food safety.
