Description
Thermo Dionex ICS 5000 Chrome‑6 (Cr6) Analysis System with VWD Detector Overview
Optimized for hexavalent chromium (Cr6) analysis using IC with post-column UV detection.
The Thermo Dionex ICS 5000 Chrome‑6 (Cr6) Analysis System with VWD Detector is configured for hexavalent chromium (Cr6) analysis using ion chromatography combined with post‑column derivatization and UV‑Vis detection. In this setup, chromium species are separated chromatographically and reacted post‑column to form a UV‑detectable complex, enabling selective and highly sensitive detection of Cr6 in environmental samples.
The system operates as a modular high‑pressure ion chromatography platform with Reagent‑Free IC (RFIC) functionality, generating eluents directly from deionized water. This ensures stable eluent concentration, minimizes operator variability, and supports reproducible results required for regulatory testing of drinking water, wastewater, and industrial samples.
The included ICS‑Series Variable Wavelength Detector (VWD) is critical for Cr6 workflows, providing UV‑Vis detection across a broad spectral range. Its dual‑lamp design and multi‑wavelength monitoring enable precise detection of post‑derivatized chromium complexes while maintaining low noise and stable baselines during extended analytical runs
This refurbished Thermo Dionex ICS 5000 Chrome‑6 (Cr6) Analysis System with VWD Detector has been fully tested and verified to be in proper working condition by Alliant Scientific.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this system designed for?
It is configured for hexavalent chromium (Cr6) analysis using ion chromatography with post-column derivatization and UV detection.
Why is a UV detector required for Cr6 analysis?
Cr6 is derivatized post-column to form a UV-active complex, which is then detected by the VWD.
Does the system use reagent-free ion chromatography?
Yes, RFIC automatically generates eluents from deionized water for consistent performance.
What samples can be analyzed?
Drinking water, wastewater, environmental samples, and industrial process samples.
Is this system suitable for regulatory testing?
Yes, it is widely used in environmental and compliance laboratories for trace Cr6 analysis.
