Description
Thermo Dionex ICS‑5000 Dual Channel System Overview
The Thermo Dionex ICS‑5000 Dual Channel System is a high-pressure ion chromatography platform configured for simultaneous dual-channel analysis. It integrates two independent flow paths with dual pumps and dual conductivity detectors, allowing parallel separation of anions and cations or two different methods in a single system. Each channel operates independently, increasing throughput and reducing total analysis time.
The system uses Reagent-Free Ion Chromatography (RFIC) with electrolytic eluent generation, producing eluents directly from deionized water. This eliminates manual preparation and maintains consistent eluent concentration for reproducible results. High-pressure capability (up to ~6000 psi) supports small-particle columns for faster separations and improved resolution, while temperature-controlled compartments stabilize baseline and retention times.
The AS‑AP autosampler provides automated, high-throughput sample handling with support for large vial capacity and microplate formats. It enables programmable injection volumes, sample preparation steps, and simultaneous or sequential injection to both channels. Combined with Chromeleon software, the system runs fully automated dual-channel workflows with minimal operator intervention.
This refurbished Thermo Dionex ICS‑5000 Dual Channel System has been fully tested and verified to be in proper working condition by Alliant Scientific.
