Eluent Generator Cartridge (EGC)
Table 2-2 lists the versions of eluent generator cartridges available for use
with the EG. Each EGC contains an electrolyte concentrate solution
appropriate for the particular eluent generation. Each EGC is designed to be
used in either a capillary IC system or an analytical IC system. An EGC
designed for a capillary IC system cannot be used in an analytical IC system,
and vice versa.
Analytical IC systems require EGC III cartridges and (if used) the EPM III
Electrolytic pH Modifier. Previous versions of EGC or EPM are not
compatible with the Dionex ICS-5000 Eluent Generator.
