Ion Chromatography System

Prin-Cen's IC-10 Ion Chromatography System combines a high-end ion chromatography pump with a high-performance digital conductivity detector, ensuring high sensitivity and excellent analytical stability.
Using dedicated chromatography columns and optimized elution conditions, the system achieves high separation efficiency and rapid analysis times.Integration with a high-throughput autosampler dramatically reduces operating costs and the need for manual intervention, optimizing overall laboratory efficiency.

The IC-10 is the ideal solution for meeting routine and research analytical requirements in a variety of industrial and control sectors.

The IC-10 Ion Chromatography system is a high-performance analytical solution operating at pressures up to 35 MPa (5,000 psi), featuring an all-PEEK fluid path compatible with eluents ranging from pH 0 to 14. It integrates a series dual-piston pump with independent dual-motor technology to eliminate pulsations and a high-resolution digital conductivity detector (0.001 nS/cm) with a measurement range of 0 to 20,000 µS/cm and automatic background subtraction.Designed for regulatory compliance and automation via an autosampler, the instrument enables stable detection of analytes at ppb levels.
