The IonPac® CS12A is a high-capacity, cation-exchange column recommended for the fast, isocratic separation of lithium, sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium using methanesulfonic or sulfuric acid eluents in diverse sample matrices. - Use the CS12A-5µm (3 × 150 mm) column for high efficiency and fast analysis (9 min). The new smaller-diameter resin technology provides faster analysis time, reduced eluent consumption, and increased sensitivity.
- The CS12A-8µm (2 × 250 mm and 4 × 250 mm) columns are recommended for inorganic cations in complex sample matrices (15-min analysis time).
- Use the CS12A 2- and 4-mm columns for disparate concentration ratios (up to 1:1000) of sodium and ammonium.
- The CS12A-MS (2 × 100 mm) is an IC-MS screening column for fast elution and low flow rates required for interfacing with IC-MS detectors.
- The CS12A column is recommended for manganese and morpholine.
- Simplified Reagent-FreeTM IC operation is provided by the EG40 or EG50 Eluent Generator, or the RFC-30 Controller, which requires only a deionized water source to produce methanesulfonic acid eluent.
- Sample matrices include environmental waters, power plant waters treated with ammonium, morpholine or ethanolamine, chemical additives, chemical process solutions, scrubber solutions, plating baths, and industrial solvents.
The high-capacity, cation-exchange CS12A is designed for the fast, isocratic separation with suppressed conductivity detection. The common inorganic cations in diverse sample matrices include drinking water, power plant waters, soil extracts, acid digests, chemical additives, chemical process solutions, scrubber solutions, and plating baths. The CS12A column is designed to be used in most CS12 applications. Use the CS12A with the EG40 or EG50 Eluent Generator for simplified methanesulfonic acid eluent preparation. Use the Cation Atlas® Electrolytic Suppressor, CAES®, (up to 25 µeq/column) with the CS12A column. |
