The ICS-2000 system is a totally integrated and preconfigured Reagent-Free™ Ion Chromatography system with Eluent Generation (RFIC-EG™ system) designed to perform all types of electrolytically generated isocratic and gradient IC separations using conductivity detection. The ICS-2000 is available with a dualpiston pump, LCD touch-pad front panel, Reagent-Free eluent generation, thermally controlled conductivity cell, column heater, and optional vacuum degas. When coupled with an AutoSuppression® device, such as the SRS® 300, the ICS-2000 system provides high performance with unequalled ease of use. Automation provides full control and digital data collection from a PC using USB.
Reagent-Free IC Systems
- Electrolytic eluent and regenerant production minimizes time, labor, operation costs, and eluent preparation errors.
- The eluent generator delivers sodium, potassium, and lithium hydroxide and carbonate/bicarbonate eluents for anion separations as well as methanesulfonic acid eluents for cation separations.
- Just add deionized water for isocratic and gradient electrolytic eluent generation and electrolytic eluent suppression.

NOTE: Eluent generator cartridges are considered a consumables and we do not supply these. Since they are a method-dependent consumables, customers are responsible for obtaining their own eluent generator cartridges.
