Conductivity Cell and Dionex DS5 Detection Stabilizer
The flow-through heated conductivity cell contains two 316 stainless steel
electrodes that are permanently sealed into the PEEK
measures the electrical conductance of analyte ions as they pass through
the cell.
Temperature directly affects the conductivity of a solution. For example,
laboratory heating and air conditioning systems can cause a regular slow
cycling in the baseline. This, in turn, can affect the reproducibility of an
analysis. The higher the conductivity, the more pronounced the effect.
In ion analysis, the effect of temperature variation is minimized by
suppressing eluent conductivity. Built-in preset temperature
compensation also ensures that there is no major change in the baseline or
in peak heights. Temperature compensation further improves baseline
stability.
Direct conductive heating is used in the Dionex Easion conductivity cell
to provide temperature control and compensation. A heat exchanger
inside the cell regulates the temperature. All data is collected at 40 °C
(104 °F).
The cell is housed inside a Dionex DS5 Detection Stabilizer (P/N 067761)
