Environmental Sector

Scientists monitor trace-level impurities in drinking water, groundwater, and wastewater. Using Dionex technology, they evaluate pollutants under regulations established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ASTM, ISO, and other agencies around the world. Our environmental expertise includes homeland security applications to identify explosives and hazardous chemicals and pollution testing for the analysis of air, soil, and solid waste.

Water Analysis

Dionex is committed to enhancing the quality of our global water resources. Government and industry use our instruments for testing the purity of ground and surface waters in our environment, ensuring sustainable use. The water discharged by municipal wastewater treatment plants and industrial facilities must be monitored to ensure strict compliance with environmental guidelines. Process waters must be kept clean from contaminants to ensure product quality and acceptable exposure levels.

Pollution Testing

Dionex leads the way in innovative solutions for the analysis of air, soil, and hazardous wastes. Our industry-leading technology for sample preparation can be automated in any laboratory. With increasingly stringent regulatory standards, it becomes necessary to apply accurate, reproducible, fast methods to the analysis of air filters, soils, solids, and wastes.

Safety and Security

The global community is concerned about public welfare. Threats to our safety and security can come from deployment of explosives, chemicals, and agents in warfare; exposure to toxic chemicals in the workplace; adulterants and residues in foods; and other intentional or passive sources. Dionex instruments and consumables help identify and quantify the chemical markers indicating a danger in our environment.

Life Sciences Sector

At Dionex, bioanalytical technologies and applications are driven by collaborations with our customers. We listened, learned, researched, and then developed a wide array of tools to facilitate success in bioanalysis. Our technology empowers a growing number of biochemical applications, including fundamental research, analysis of molecules involved in disease, and analyte-specific tools that facilitate drug discovery and development.

Pharmaceutical

Dionex systems are ideal for handling the varied requirements of pharmaceutical lead generation, preclinical and clinical phases, toxicology, and product QA/QC. To overcome these hurdles, the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical firms are turning to Dionex instruments for time-to-market issues and cost constraints that continuously drive refinements for each step in the pharma process.

Bioscience

Dionex develops powerful instrument portfolios to analyze samples from fermentation broths, cell cultures, cell extracts, and other biological matrices. With specialized columns to separate proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, metabolites, amino acids, carbohydrates, anions, and cations, Dionex systems support the full range of bioseparations applications in academia and industry. Performance has always been a hot-button issue for bioanalysis, but so has productivity. Dionex solutions can free biochemists’ time for other tasks.

Medical Science

Complex biological matrices such as whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, and body tissue challenge the accuracy and specificity of most analytical methods. Dionex has developed a wide range of powerful HPLC systems to facilitate the analysis of endogenous molecules, drugs, and drug metabolites in medically related matrices. For analytes in tissue samples, Dionex provides optimal tools for rapid, simple, highly efficient extraction.

Industrial Sector

Dionex serves a wide range of industrial markets, including the chemical, food, electronics, and power industries. For each area, we consistently deliver analytical expertise, empowering industrial scientists as they test for compounds in a variety of complex matrices. These industries rely on our capabilities for specialized trace analysis in high-purity water, and we continually develop unique applications and products to meet their needs.

Chemical

Process streams, waste streams, and chemical and petrochemical products must be monitored for both desirable and undesirable species. Dionex IC systems provide solutions for inorganic anion and cation analysis. Our applications extend well beyond IC to include a broad range of HPLC technologies for chemical analysis and laboratory automation.

Food

Dionex instruments deliver fast and accurate testing capabilities. Labeling information requires the analysis of carbohydrates, organic acids, amino acids, and other analytes. Food analysis is also essential to help track contamination and adulteration. Dionex technology is used for these applications and for extraction of dietary supplements, such as vitamins and herbal health products. The nutritional content of foods is quantified using our powerful ion-exchange and reversed-phase column and detector technology.

Electronics

Manufacturers of the components of computers, satellite communications, telephone networks, consumer electronics, and medical instruments rely on Dionex instrumentation and applications. The electronics industry uses our systems to measure trace contaminants throughout the fabrication process, assay major constituents of process materials and chemicals, and monitor ultrapure water and wastewater.

Power

One of the primary concerns of all power plants is to ensure that the high-purity water used for power generation is of sufficient quality to maintain plant chemistry parameters. IC is the established technique for monitoring water quality with respect to corrosive ions. Dionex instruments monitor anions, cations, transition metals, silica, and boron in raw water, demineralizer influent/effluent, process steam, boiler feedwater, boiler blowdown water, high- and low-pressure steam condensate, and condensate polisher water.
