Ion Chromatography Theory and Operation

The Ion Chromatography Theory & Operation training courses are designed to develop fundamental and operational skills of new users of IC systems.  This course is strongly recommended for IC users with a minimum of 2 months of hands-on experience who would like to further expand their knowledge on the principles of ion chromatography, how to successfully operate their IC system, and properly maintain its consumables.

Course Pre-requisites: Completion of Chromeleon Software courses (Levels 1 & 2) or equivalent

Class size is limited to 10 attendees.

Specific System/Hardware focused Courses Include:

  • Principles of Ion Chromatography
  • Eluent Preparation for Ion Chromatography – Tips & Tricks
  • RFIC Eluent Generation Technology (Care & Operation)
  • Detectors & Suppressors (Care & Operation)
    • Conductivity Detection
    • Amperometry Detection
  • Columns (Care & Operation)
  • AS Injection Modes (Simultaneous & Sequential)
  • ICS-5000 Capillary Systems – Special Considerations
  • Theory of Troubleshooting
  • Laboratory (hands-on) exercises
    • IC System Installation, Setup & Equilibration
    • Making “Low-Noise & Voids-Free” Plumbing Connections
    • 1-pt Calibration Curve
    • Method Calibration / Data Processing
    • System Shutdown (Short- & Long-term)

Because we will be using Dionex Chromeleon Software for system control and data manipulation, Chromeleon Level 1 and Chromeleon Level 2 courses are required for all of the Basic IC operation and troubleshooting courses.

Chromeleon Level 1 & 2 courses are held the two days preceding most basic IC courses.
Chromeleon Level 1 and Chromeleon Level 2 courses require separate registration and purchasing.
