Low Noise Electrolytically Regenerated Suppressor for Use with IC Eluents
The Atlas Electrolytic Suppressor (AES) is a continuous electrolytically-regenerated suppressor based on the Mono-Disc and AutoSuppression products developed by Dionex. The unique design of the Atlas enables very fast startup times and an extremely-low noise level, particularly for carbonate eluents. The benefits of the Atlas include:
- High performance and very low noise for carbonate eluents
- Low background conductivity, and excellent baseline stability
- Easy to use maintenance-free operation
- Fast startup and equilibration
- Will suppress eluents up to 25 μeq/min
The MonoDisc suppression bed of the AES is composed of ion-exchange monolith and flow distribution disks. This configuration facilitates efficient exchange of the eluent counter ions for regenerant ions, resulting in eluent suppression and analyte response enhancement.

1When installed outside the heated column enclosure, all suppressors can support applications up to 60 ˚C.
2Solvents for anion eluents include methanol. Solvents for cation eluents include acetonitrile and dioxane.
3EWM = external water mode; for eluents containing >40% solvent, use the chemical regeneration mode.
The Atlas suppressor is fully compatible with the ICS-5000, ICS-3000, ICS-2100, ICS-2000, ICS-1600, ICS-1500, ICS-1100, and ICS-1000 chromatography systems. It is not compatible with the ICS-90 or ICS-900. When ordering an Atlas suppressor for older systems, the DX-600, BioLC, or DX-320 systems must be configured with an ED50A, CD25A, or IC25A detector. The RFC-30 or RFC-10 Suppressor Controller must be ordered to use the Atlas with the earlier versions of detectors.
