Thermo Dionex ICS-4000 Capillary HPIC System with Dionex AS-DV Autosampler
Description
Thermo Dionex ICS-4000 Capillary HPIC System with Dionex AS-DV Autosampler Overview
The Thermo Dionex ICS‑4000 Capillary HPIC System performs high‑pressure ion chromatography using capillary flow paths to increase sensitivity while minimizing reagent use. It integrates a dual‑piston pump, electrolytic eluent generator, separation column, and detector into a single system. Eluent is generated directly from water, eliminating manual preparation and maintaining consistent concentration for reproducible isocratic and gradient separations.
Capillary operation (0.001–0.100 mL/min) reduces dead volume and improves signal‑to‑noise, enabling trace ion detection with very small injection volumes. The system supports pressures up to ~5000–6000 psi, allowing the use of small‑particle columns for faster, higher‑resolution separations. Temperature‑controlled zones stabilize retention times and baseline during long sequences, and detection modules support conductivity, electrochemical, and charge-based analysis.
The Dionex AS‑DV autosampler automates sample introduction using a 50‑vial carousel with programmable volume and dispense speed. It supports random access sampling, multiple injections per vial, and software‑controlled loop filling or concentrator loading. Combined with Chromeleon control, the system runs unattended sequences with consistent injection timing and reproducible results across routine chromatography workflows.
