Production Test Chromatogram

Isocratic elution of anions on the IonPac AS9-SC Analytical Column has been optimized utilizing a carbonate/bicarbonate eluent.
By using this eluent, mono- and divalent anions, including oxyhalides can be isocratically separated and quantitated in a single
injection. To guarantee that all IonPac AS9-SC (4-mm) Analytical Columns meet high quality and reproducible performance
specification standards, all columns undergo the following production control test.
