Reagent-Free IC with Eluent Regeneration (RFIC-ER
™
)
RFIC-ER is available as an option for Dionex ICS-5000 systems without an
EG. Eluent regeneration uses the suppressor to reconstitute the starting eluent,
allowing use of a single 4-liter bottle of eluent for up to four weeks. Because
the system is a closed loop, it can run continuously, eliminating the need for
recalibration or re-equilibration during the 28 days of non-stop operation.
RFIC-ER uses carbonate, carbonate/bicarbonate, or MSA eluents for isocratic
separations on standard bore columns.
Dionex ICS-5000 Eluent Organizer (EO)
The EO holds eluent reservoirs in a liner that contains spills and leaks. Up to
two EOs can be installed on top of the DC. Each EO accommodates up to four
1-liter or 2-liter reservoirs
or up to two 4-liter reservoirs. The EO is typically
ordered configured with four 2-liter reservoirs (P/N 072058).
All eluent reservoirs available for use with the DP/SP can be pressurized. If
you plan to pressurize the eluent reservoirs, the optional EO
Regulator
Accessory and Stand (P/N 074423) is required.
The Regulator Accessory includes a pressure regulator and gauge assembly
with four outputs (for connections to four eluent reservoirs), as well as the
tubing and connection fitting required. If more reservoirs are required, order a
second regulator (P/N 074422).
Reagent-Free IC with Electrolytic Sample Preparation (RFIC-ESP
™
)
RFIC-ESP systems enable a range of automated sample preparation
techniques which use proprietary electrolytic devices to provide reduced cost
and higher value analyses.
RFIC-ESP devices and techniques can be used for removing cations from an
anion sample before analysis by using a Dionex CR-TC device, or
neutralizing a strongly acidic or basic solution—25% phosphoric acid or
sodium hydroxide solutions, for example—with an AutoNeutralization
™
device. An Electrolytic Water Purifier is available which provides water of
extremely high purity (backgrounds below sub ng/L levels are possible) for
use in trace-level analytical work where use of a concentrator column is
necessary.
