Description
Thermo Dionex ICS‑5000 Dual Channel System with Eluent Generator (EG) and AS‑AP Autosampler Overview
Thermo Dionex ICS‑5000 Dual Channel System with Eluent Generator (EG) and AS‑AP Autosampler is a high‑pressure ion chromatography platform configured for simultaneous analysis using dual independent flow paths. This system includes dual pumps (DP), a dual-channel detector module (DC) with conductivity and electrochemical detection, and an integrated eluent generator (EG), enabling parallel analysis of different ion species or methods within a single instrument.
Each channel operates independently, allowing simultaneous anion/cation analysis or dual-method workflows without cross-interference. The system uses Reagent‑Free Ion Chromatography (RFIC) with electrolytic eluent generation, eliminating manual eluent preparation and maintaining stable, reproducible eluent composition across runs. High-pressure capability enables fast, high-resolution separations with advanced ion chromatography columns.
The AS‑AP autosampler provides automated, high-throughput sample handling with support for vials and microplates, including simultaneous or sequential injection into both channels. The overall configuration is designed for laboratories requiring high throughput, reduced analysis time, and flexible multi-method ion chromatography workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “dual channel” mean on the ICS-5000 system?
The system has two independent flow paths, allowing simultaneous analysis of two different methods or analytes (e.g., anions and cations) without cross-interference.
Can I run anions and cations at the same time?
Yes, each channel can be configured independently, enabling parallel analysis of anions and cations or two separate methods.
What is the advantage of the eluent generator (EG)?
The EG enables Reagent-Free Ion Chromatography (RFIC), generating eluents from deionized water, eliminating manual preparation and improving reproducibility.
What detectors are included in this system?
The ICS-5000 DC module includes both conductivity detection for standard ion analysis and electrochemical detection for carbohydrates, cyanide, and electroactive compounds.
What types of analyses benefit from electrochemical detection?
Electrochemical detection is used for sensitive analysis of sugars, carbohydrates, cyanide, and other electroactive species that cannot be detected by conductivity alone.
How does the AS-AP autosampler improve throughput?
The AS-AP supports automated injection, sample preparation, and can deliver samples to both channels simultaneously or sequentially, reducing manual workload and increasing efficiency.
Is this system suitable for high-throughput laboratories?
Yes, the dual-channel design significantly reduces total analysis time, making it ideal for environmental, contract, and QA/QC laboratories.
Does the system require manual eluent preparation?
No, the RFIC system automatically generates eluents, reducing preparation time and minimizing human error.
Can the system be expanded or upgraded?
Yes, the ICS-5000 is a modular platform that can be configured with additional detectors, columns, or workflow components as needed.
What industries typically use this system?
Environmental testing labs, water quality labs, food and beverage labs, and pharmaceutical companies commonly use dual-channel IC systems for high-throughput ion analysis.
