IonPac AS20 Anion-Exchange Column

The IonPac AS20 hydroxide selective anion-exchange column is specifically designed for trace perchlorate in drinking water. Its high capacity and selectivity allows for the determination of perchlorate in drinking water at the low µg/L level. The AS20 column is the specified column in U.S. EPA Method 314.1 (Confirmatory Method).

  • Recommended hydroxide-selective anion-exchange column for U.S. EPA Method 314.1 (Confirmatory Method) for trace perchlorate in drinking water matrices.
  • High capacity: 310 µeq per column. (4 x 250-mm column).
  • Use the Cryptand C1 Concentrator Column for sample preconcentration.
  • Simplified Reagent-FreeTM IC (RFICTM) operation provided by the RFIC Eluent Generator. Requires only a deionized water source to produce sodium hydroxide eluent.
  • Eluent suppression using the ASRS® ULTRA II provides Reagent-Free IC operation with low backgrounds and enhanced analyte sensitivity.
  • Operate at ambient or elevated temperatures. Column selectivity is optimized for a 30 °C operating temperature to ensure reproducible retention times in all environmental conditions.
  • Compatible with organic solvents to enhance analyte solubility, modify column selectivity, or for effective column clean up.

The IonPac AS20 column is a high-capacity, hydroxide-selective anion-exchange column designed for the determination of trace concentrations of perchlorate in drinking water, surface water, and groundwater matrices. The capacity and selectivity of the AS20 ensures that perchlorate can be quantified at low µg/L concentrations using suppressed conductivity detection even in the presence of very high concentrations of chloride, carbonate, and sulfate.  The AS20 column is the column specified in U.S. EPA Method 314.1 (Confirmatory Method) for the determination of trace perchlorate in drinking water.  The Cryptand C1 Concentrator Column is the specified concentrator column for sample preconcentration in U.S. EPA Method 314.1.

The AS20 column is ideally used with RFIC technology for automatic eluent generation. Use the Anion Self-Regenerating Suppressor (ASRS ULTRA II) with the AS20 column for eluent suppression.

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.
