2.3.4
Dionex CRS 500 Suppressor
The Dionex CRS 500 suppressor reduces the conductivity of the eluent
and enhances the conductivity of the sample ions, thereby increasing
detection sensitivity.
A process called Displacement Chemical Regeneration (DCR) (see

the suppressor. The constant flow of regenerant over the suppressor
membrane continually restores the suppression ability of the suppressor.
For more information about the suppressors, refer to the Dionex CRS 500
manual.
2.3.5
Displacement Chemical Regeneration (DCR)
Displacement Chemical Regeneration (DCR) is the process that restores
the ability of the Dionex CRS 500 suppressor to suppress eluent
conductivity. In DCR, the eluent that exits the cell is pumped into the
regenerant bottle. The eluent pressurizes the bottle and pushes the
regenerant into the suppressor. However, because the eluent is a different
density than the regenerant, it remains separate.

the regenerant, pushing regenerant out of the regenerant line at the top
of the bottle and out into the suppressor.
