The Thermo Scientific ICS-5000 Eluent Generator takes the guesswork and complexity out of ion chromatography. The Eluent Generator module (EG) provides the benefits of a Reagent-Free IC (RFIC) system with eluent generation (RFIC-EG) to produce eluent automatically from deionized water. Stable, robust electronics provide an extremely stable baseline and generate high-purity eluents (up to 200 mM in capillary formats) on-line, making gradient separations as easy as isocratic; with just a click of the mouse. The EG’s slide-out tray provides easy access to the cartridges, CR-TC and fluidic connections, making IC more convenient than ever.

Capillary EG Cartridge Benefits:

• Available in hydroxide and methanesulfonic acid (MSA) versions for anion and cation separations
• Delivers eluent concentrations from 0.01 up to 200 mM for KOH and MSA
• Maximum pressure rating 5000 psi
• Flow rates from 0.001 to 0.03 mL/min

Analytical EG Cartridge Benefits:

• Available in carbonate/bicarbonate, hydroxide and MSA versions for anion and cation separations
• Delivers eluent concentrations from 0.01 to 100 mM
• Maximum pressure rating 3000 psi
• Flow rates from 0.01 to 3.00 mL/min

Key Features and Benefits for Analytical and Capillary Cartridges:

• EG Module supports analytical and capillary cartridges
• New Chip-based technology means no need to enter cartridge serial numbers, improving ease-of-use and eliminating errors
• Generates high-purity, carbonate-free hydroxide eluent from deionized water
• Produces high performance gradients with the click of a mouse
• Minimizes baseline drift
• Improves retention time stability and resolution
• Provides excellent run-to-run reproducibility
• Extends the lifetime of pistons and pump seals by pumping only water
• Built-in leak sensor and operator alert for maximum system safety

Reagent-Free™ IC (RFIC™) systems are compatible with most applications by providing carbonate/bicarbonate, hydroxide and methanesulfonic acid eluents including gradients. Just add water to generate the perfect eluent for your application automatically.
