Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-2100 Ion Chromatography System  Reagent-Free IC (RFIC-EG) system for reliable anion and cation analysis in environmental, food, pharmaceutical, and industrial labs

Key Features:

  • Integrated reagent-free ion chromatography system (RFIC-EG) eliminating the need for manual eluent preparation through electrolytic eluent generation.

  • Compact, all-in-one IC design combining pump, eluent generation, suppressor, and detector modules into a single unit for ease of use.

  • High-sensitivity conductivity detection with integrated temperature compensation for stable baselines.

  • Extended dynamic range allowing accurate quantitation of major and trace-level ions in a single run.

  • Electrolytic suppression technology provides low noise and high reproducibility for consistent anion and cation separations.

  • Wide range of columns supported for inorganic anions, cations, organic acids, amines, and other ionic/polar species.

  • Automation-ready with Dionex autosamplers (AS-DV, AS-AP), enabling unattended high-throughput analysis.

  • Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS) integration with advanced tools for data acquisition, calibration, quantitation, and compliance.

  • 21 CFR Part 11 support with secure electronic records, user management, and audit trails.

  • Flexible modularity – expandable with optional detectors such as UV/Vis or amperometric for specialized applications.

  • Designed for routine QC and advanced research, bridging reliability with performance.


Applications:

  • Environmental Testing: Determination of anions (fluoride, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, phosphate) and cations (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium) in drinking water, wastewater, and groundwater.

  • Food & Beverage Industry: Organic acid analysis, additive monitoring, and ionic contaminant detection.

  • Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceuticals: Raw material QC, counter-ion analysis, excipients, and process monitoring.

  • Industrial Applications: Semiconductor grade water purity monitoring, chemical manufacturing QC, and power plant water analysis.

  • Agricultural Science: Fertilizer ion composition testing and soil nutrient monitoring.

  • Academic & Research Labs: Comprehensive ionic compound research and method development for new analytes.
