The Thermo Scientific ICS-2100 Integrated Reagent-Free IC System is the first Reagent-Free™ ion chromatography system with electrolytic sample preparation (RFIC-ESP™ system) and eluent generation (RFIC-EG™ system) capabilities designed to perform all types of electrolytically generated isocratic and gradient IC separations using conductivity detection. Microbore 2 mm columns and standard bore 4 mm columns are fully supported.

The ICS-2100 RFIC-ESP system now provides automation for many sample preparation techniques with multiple valving configurations and support for electrolytic sample preparation devices.

The ICS-2100 system provides high performance with unequalled ease-of-use when coupled with an AutoSuppression® device, such as the SRS® 300 suppressor. Chromeleon® software provides full control and digital data collection from a PC using simple USB connectivity.

Key Features of the Dionex ICS-2100: 
• Automated eluent generation 
• LCD front panel control 
• Dual-piston pump 
• Column heater 
• Electrolytic suppression 
• Digital conductivity detection 
• Vacuum degas (option) 
• Optional 6- or 10-port valve 
• Optional RFIC-ESP water purifier 
• USB connectivity, plug-n-play 
• Electronic logbook and trending through virtual channels

Benefits of the ICS 2100: 
• RFIC-ESP system accessories enable control of electrolytic sample preparation devices such as water purifiers and sample conditioners. 
• Sample preparation capabilities extend the range of the instrument into areas, such as on-line filtration, matrix elimination, neutralization, and ultratrace analysis. 
• Flexible flow rates support 2, 3, 4, and 5 mm column formats. 
• Column heater provides day-to-day consistency, ensuring reproducibility and stability. Preheating of the eluent prior to the column maintains the column temperature set by the user. A transparent cover allows viewing of the column without temperature disruption.
