Dionex ICS-5000 Detector/Chromatography Module (DC)
The DC provides a temperature-controlled environment for Dionex ICS-5000
chromatography components. The DC can accommodate components for two
channels, plumbed either serially or in parallel.
The following components may be installed in the DC:
•
Conductivity detectors
•
Electrochemical detectors
•
Injection valves
•
Switching valves
•
Guard and separator columns
•
Suppressors
•
Dionex IC Cubes or Dionex ICS-5000 Automation Manager
Dionex ICS-5000 Conductivity Detector (CD)
The CD is a modular detector with an integrated cell. The CD has a signal
range up to 15,000
applications. The CD is installed in the upper compartment of the DC. For a
dual-system, two CDs can be installed.
Dionex ICS-5000 Electrochemical Detector (ED)
The ED is a modular detector and a modular cell. The ED supports multiple
waveforms, multiple integration times, and post-analysis data manipulation.
With Chromeleon 6.8, the ED is also capable of providing 3D amperometry
data. The ED cell can be configured with gold, silver, platinum, carbon, or
glassy carbon working electrodes. The ED is installed in the upper
compartment of the DC. For a dual-system, two EDs can be installed.
Dionex IC Cube (IC Cube)
Capillary
IC
The IC Cube houses components for running capillary IC applications. Each
IC Cube includes an injection valve, a column heater, and removable
cartridges containing capillary IC components. Cartridges for the following
components are available: carbonate removal device (CRD), suppressor,
guard and separator columns, and EG degasser. The IC Cube is installed in the
