Setting Up the Eluent and Regenerant Reservoirs
1. Rinse the eluent and regenerant reservoirs.
2. Prepare 2 L of eluent. For instructions, see the manual for the column being
installed. The column manual is included on the Dionex Reference Library
CD-ROM (P/N 055405), located in the Ship Kit.
3. Follow the instructions below to prepare either anion (dilute sulfuric acid) or
cation (tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH)) regenerant.
For acid concentrates (such as the anion regenerant), always pour the
concentrate into deionized water, not into the empty reservoir.
Pour les concentrés acides (comme le régénérant anionique), versez
toujours le concentré dans de l'eau désionisée et non dans le
réservoir vide.
Gießen Sie bei säurehaltigen Konzentraten (beispielsweise dem
Kationenelutionsmittel) das Konzentrat immer in entionisiertes
Wasser und nicht in den leeren Behälter.
a.
Fill the regenerant reservoir (anion, P/N 057712; cation, P/N 057713)
about halfway with ASTM filtered, Type I (18-megohm) deionized (DI)
water.
b. Empty the entire bottle of concentrate into the reservoir.
c.
Fill the concentrate bottle with DI water and empty the contents into the
reservoir.
d. Continue to pour DI water into the reservoir until it is filled all the way to
the top. If a few drops spill over, then it is full enough.
The regenerant reservoir must be filled all the way to the top at all
times.
e.
Insert the stopper assembly tubing into the reservoir and tighten the
stopper.
Do not shake the regenerant reservoir to mix the contents. The ICS-90
will stratify the contents.
