Description
The modular Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-6000 HPIC system is a highly configurable ion chromatography (IC) system with capillary ion chromatography capabilities. It enables you to develop and run different methods for a single sample or for different samples simultaneously. The robust design of this system enables operation at up to 5000 psi and produces consistent, reliable results. As a top-of-the-line ion chromatography system, the Dionex ICS-6000 HPIC system is designed to adapt to the needs of users and push the boundaries of what is possible in ion analysis, offering both high pressure and capillary ion exchange chromatography capabilities.
