2.1 System Requirements

The Dionex Anion Chemically Regenerated Suppressor for ICE (Dionex ACRS-ICE 500) is
designed to be run on any Thermo Scientific Dionex Ion Chromatograph (IC) equipped with a
Dionex IonPac ICE column set and suppressed conductivity detection.
The Dionex ACRS-ICE 500 is installed in the column compartment of the chromatography
module immediately after the analytical column and before the conductivity detector cell.
The Thermo Scientific Dionex Chemically Regenerated Suppressor Installation Kit (P/N
038018) contains all of the components needed to install and operate the suppressor with
pressurized regenerant reservoirs. The kit includes the Thermo Scientific Dionex Chemically
Regenerated Suppressor Installation Parts Kit (P/N 039055), a 25 psi pressure regulator (P/N
038201), and a four liter regenerant reservoir (P/N 039164).
During the course of installing and using the Dionex ACRS-ICE 500, it may be necessary to
assemble new liquid line fittings. Assembly procedures for various liquid line fittings used with
the Dionex ACRS-ICE 500 can be found in the document, "Thermo Scientific Dionex Liquid
Line Fittings" (P/N 031432) found on the Dionex Reference Library CD-ROM.

2.2 Eluent Line Connections

A. Install the Dionex ACRS-ICE 500 in the first slot inside the Chromatography Module.
B. Use a short piece of PEEK 0.010" i.d. tubing with a PEEK 10-32 ferrule/bolt fitting on
C. Use a short piece of PEEK 0.010" i.d. tubing with a PEEK 10-32 ferrule/bolt fitting on
D. Be sure to install the correct number of back pressure coils in the waste line depending

the end of the tubing that will connect to the ELUENT IN port of the Dionex ACRS-
ICE 500 (see Figure 1). On the other end of this eluent tubing, place another PEEK 10-
32 ferrule bolt fitting. Connect this end to the outlet end of the analytical column. Refer
to "Thermo Scientific Dionex Liquid Line Fittings" for instructions on the assembly of
these fittings. To avoid adding dead volume to the system, make the length of all eluent
lines as short as practically possible.
