You can select the concentration of eluent to be generated from either the
Chromeleon Control panel or from the touch screen

page (see
Section C.4 ).
The allowable eluent concentration depends on several factors: the flow
rate, suppressor type, EluGen cartridge type, and cartridge configuration.
For details, refer to
Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 .
Single-Cartridge Configuration
In the single-cartridge configuration, the ICS-2000 contains one EluGen
cartridge.
Linked Dual-Cartridge Configuration
In the linked dual-cartridge configuration, the ICS-2000 contains two
EluGen cartridges (or one EluGen cartridge and an EPM) that perform as
one cartridge. Note that the allowable eluent concentration for a linked
cartridge is less than when the cartridge is defined as independent. For
