Optimizing the Use of High Purity Water in Ion Chromatography – Direct-Feed and Hints and Tips
24 Mar 2015As instrumentation and analytical methods are becoming increasingly sensitive, the ability to perform trace and ultra trace analyses relies on the high quality and purity of the reagents used. High purity water is probably the most commonly used reagent. It is used for the preparation of samples, reagents and mobile phases, in standard dilutions and blanks. Water quality may impact both the analytical results and the analytical instrument itself. This poster provides some hints and tips to optimize the use of high purity water in ion chromatography.

Ion ChromatographyIon chromatography, also known as ion exchange chromatography, is a high-performance liquid chromatographic technique used for the separation and identification of ions or polar molecules in a sample, including proteins, nucleotides and amino acids. Equipment includes ion exchange columns, ion exclusion columns, ion chromatography systems, pumps, and detectors.

These systems include demineralization, reverse osmosis, filtration and ultrafiltration. A combination of methods is sometimes necessary to achieve purified water suitable for use in experiments.Ultrapure WaterUltrapure water is the highest purity water and contains the lowest levels of organic and inorganic contaminants, particulates and microorganisms.Pure WaterPure water is processed to remove significant level of contaminants and is suitable for use in many laboratory applications.
