IonPac CS16 Cation-Exchange Column

The IonPac® CS16 is the column of choice for disparate concentration ratios of sodium and ammonium in diverse sample matrices. The high-capacity CS16 column can be used for short-chained amines, including alkylamines and alkanolamines, in diverse sample matrices.

  • The CS16 is the recommended column for disparate concentration ratios of ammonium and sodium in complex sample matrices.
  • This column is ideal for trace-level ammonium in high concentrations of sodium and trace-level sodium in high concentrations of ammonium or amines.
  • Isocratic acid eluents and elevated temperature (40 ºC) are required to separate these analytes at ratios up to 1:10,000.
  • Use the CS16 column for short-chained amines, including alkylamines and alkanolamines, in diverse sample matrices.
  • Simplified Reagent-FreeTM IC operation is provided by the EG40 or EG50 Eluent Generators, 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 IonPac CS16 is a high-capacity, cation-exchange column designed for the determination of disparate concentration ratios of sodium and ammonium in diverse sample matrices. Using an isocratic acid eluent and elevated temperature (40 °C) coupled with suppressor conductivity, ratios up to 10,000:1 of sodium and ammonium can be resolved in less than 20 min. The CS16 is designed for use in most IonPac CS15 applications. The CS16 column uses 5-µm resin technology for higher efficiency and higher capacity, resulting in improved loadability and resolution. Use the CS16 with the EG40 or EG50 Eluent Generators for simplified methanesulfonic acid eluent preparation. Use the Cation Self-Regenerating Suppressor (CSRS® ULTRA) with the CS16 column.

SRS 300

The Self-Regenerating Suppressor, (SRS®  300), is used for electrolytically regenerated suppression of ion chromatography applications requiring high capacity, fast start-up, and sensitivity.

CR-TC Continuously Regenerated Trap Columns

Dionex's line of CR-TCs purify the eluent continuously.

RFC-10 and RFC-30

Want to stop manually preparing eluent and regenerants?

Reagent-FreeTM IC with Eluent Generation (RFIC-EGTM ) systems reduce errors and provide consistency in your results, all by just adding water. The RFC-30 allows users to upgrade existing systems to RFIC-EG systems at a reasonable price.
