SECTION 2 - COMPARISON OF ION CHROMATOGRAPHY SYSTEMS
The proper configuration of 2-mm system injection volume, mass loading, system void volume and flow rate is based on the
ratio of the 2-mm to 4-mm column cross-sectional area which is a factor of 1/4.

NOTE
Do not run suppressors over 40°C. If application requires a higher temperature, place
suppressor outside of chromatographic oven.

Injection Loop
2 - 15 µL
Use the Rheodyne
Microinjection Valve,
Model No. 9126 DIONEX
P/N 044697) for full loop
injections <15 µL.
10 - 50 µL
System Void Volume
Eliminate switching valves,
couplers and the GM-3
Gradient Mixer. Use only
the Microbore GM-4 (2-
mm) Mixer (P/N 049135).
Minimize dead volumes.
Switching valves, couplers
can be used. Use the GM-2 ,
GM-3 or recommended
gradient mixers.
Pumps
Use the
GS50/GP50/GP40/IP20/IP2
5 in Microbore
Configuration with a
Microbore GM-4 (2-mm)
Gradient Mixer.
No External Gradient Mixer
is required for
GS50/GP50/GP40 Pump
when performing gradient
analysis
The GPM-2 can be used for
2-mm isocratic
chromatography at flow
rates of 0.5 mL/min or
greater but cannot be used
for 2-mm gradient
chromatography
Use the
GP40/GS50/GP50/IP20/IP2
5 in Standard-Bore
Configuration.
The GM-3 Gradient Mixer
should be used for gradient
analysis on systems other
than the
GP40/GP50/IP20/IP25 and
the DX-300 HPLC Pump.
