Ion Chromatography (IC)/ Ion Chromatography with Mass Spectrometer (IC-MS)/ Karl Fischer (KF)/ Conductivity/ pH/ Specific Ion

Equipment: Thermo Fisher Dionex ICS

Working Principle

  • Ions are separated from the mobile phase based on retention time, charge, or chemistry by using a variety of columns
  • Detectors can have ion selective barriers depending on technique detail
  • Detection can also be chemical in the case of KF for water content

Technical Information

  • Types and concentration of Ions in system
  • Water content in system (KF)
  • Conductivity of solution (total charged ions)
  • Equipment and technique varies based on type and amount of ions to detect
  • Useful in quality control setting
