Ion Chromatography (IC) Analytical Service
SKU: IC001
Overview
Ion Chromatography (IC) is a type of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) primarily used for determining the content of anions and cations in aqueous solutions. In a narrow sense, ion chromatography refers to a chromatographic method that uses low-capacity ion exchange resins as the stationary phase to separate ionic substances and employs a conductivity detector to continuously monitor changes in the conductivity of the effluent.
The cations that can be tested include NH4+, Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+. The anions that can be tested include Br-, F-, Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, NO2-, PO43-, format, acetate, propionate, butyrate, sulfite, phosphate (by colorimetric method), carbonate (by titration), and bicarbonate (by titration).
Sample Requirements
-
The sample must be a simple ionic aqueous solution. Complex compositions may cause overlapping ion peaks, making it impossible to accurately quantify ion concentrations.
-
Carbonate and bicarbonate are measured using titration, requiring a sample volume of >50 mL. For other ion tests, the sample volume should be 10–15 mL. It is preferable for the ion concentrations to be in the ppm range. Please specify the concentration range when scheduling the test.
Analytical Service Minimum order requirement: $250 per order. A $200 handling fee will be applied if order is below $250.
