Suppressor
The suppressor reduces the eluent conductivity and enhances the
conductivity of the sample ions, thereby increasing detection sensitivity.
Either an AES® Atlas Electrolytic Suppressor, SRS® Self-Regenerating
Suppressor, or MMS™ MicroMembrane™ Suppressor can be used with
the ICS-2000. See
Section 2.4.7 for details about the suppressor.
DS6 Heated Conductivity Cell
The flow-through conductivity cell measures the electrical conductance
of analyte ions as they pass through the cell. A heat exchanger inside the
cell regulates the temperature, which can be set to between 30 and 55 °C.
For optimum performance, set the temperature to at least 7 °C above the
ambient temperature. See
Section 2.4.8 for details about the cell.
Screen Adjustment Knob
Use this knob to change the LCD touch screen contrast.
Tubing Chases
The upper tubing chase routes tubing from the top cover to the component
panel. The lower tubing chase routes tubing from the component panel,
through the ICS-2000 interior, to the rear panel.
