The wide variety of ICS-3000 modules enables you to configure an ion chromatography system designed specifically to provide the solutions you need. And with your IC purchase, you get more than just an instrument—you get a complete solution based on the modern technology and the world-class support of Dionex, the leader in IC for more than 30 years.

Significant performance enhancements make the ICS-3000 the most reproducible, stable, and sensitive ion chromatography system available today. Dramatic improvements in flow rate accuracy, eluent generator electronics stability, and conductivity cell temperature control increase baseline stability and enhance sensitivity.

The ICS-3000 has won many awards including:

• An Editors' Choice Silver Award as one of the best new products at Pittcon
• Two Gold Awards from Instrument Business Outlook
• R&D 100 Award as one of the best new products
• An IDEA Bronze award for Industrial design from BusinessWeek's editorial staff

Innovative Reagent-Free and Dual IC

With the introduction of eluent generation technology, Dionex has simplified ion chromatography while simultaneously increasing the power and reproducibility of ion analysis. RFIC systems redefine the way ion chromatography is performed. The ICS-3000 offers both RFIC-EG^™ (standard) and RFIC-ER^™ (optional) system capabilities.

The system can be upgraded easily from a single- to a dual-system configuration—boosting productivity without taking up more valuable laboratory bench space. Dual detection and simultaneous and sequential injection deliver increased productivity—more information from one injection. Dual analysis provides more flexibility, more application choices, and more information.
