Prin-Cen's IC-20 Ion Chromatography system represents the high-performance evolution for routine and advanced research ion analysis.
The heart of the system is a series of dual-piston pumps driven by independent motors, ensuring exceptionally stable flow delivery and zero mechanical pulsation.Equipped with a wide-spectrum digital conductivity detector and the advanced EAS-2 high-throughput autosampler, the IC-20 significantly expands operational flexibility thanks to the additional external water mode.
The modular and automated design minimizes operator intervention, reducing operating costs and simplifying even the most complex analytical challenges.
