3 • Operation and Maintenance

This chapter describes routine operating and maintenance procedures for the
Dionex ICS-1100.

The Dionex ICS-1100 is designed for IC (ion chromatography) applications and
should not be used for any other purpose. Operation of the Dionex ICS-1100 in a
manner not specified by Thermo Fisher Scientific may result in personal injury.
