6 product FAQs found

Can the Cindion C-IC system be used for US EPA Method 1621 (Adsorbable Organic Fluorine (AOF) by C-IC)?

Yes. The Cindion C-IC system supports US EPA Method 1621-compliant AOF analysis using a fully PFAS-free workflow that features an adsorption module that can process up to six samples in parallel using granular activated carbon (GAC) columns.

What software program(s) are required to run the Cindion C-IC system?

Thermo Scientific Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS) is the only software needed to run the Cindion C-IC system and analyze the results.

Can the IC system used with the Cindion C-IC system be used in stand-alone mode while also being connected to the combustion/absorption module?

Yes. The IC system can be configured with an auxiliary valve that enables you to switch sample delivery between the Cindion Combustion/Absorption module (for combustion IC analysis) and a Thermo Scientific Dionex AS-AP Autosampler (for standalone IC analysis). This process is automated using the Thermo Scientific Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS).

What ion chromatography systems are supported for use with the Cindion C-IC system?

The Thermo Scientific Dionex Inuvion and Thermo Scientific Dionex Integrion IC systems are the only systems that have been tested as part of the Cindion C-IC system.

How has the Cindion C-IC system achieved a relatively small footprint?

By combining the combustion oven, absorption module, and autosampler into one integrated instrument, the Cindion C-IC system minimizes bench space requirements. The compact Z-fold combustion tube also helps by offering efficient combustion within a smaller oven.

How does the combustion tube design improve combustion efficiency and reduce soot formation in the Cindion C-IC system?

The Cindion C-IC system has a Z-fold combustion tube design, which forces gases to travel an extended Z-shaped path with repeated oxygen introduction, increasing exposure time in the high-temperature zone for more complete combustion. This controlled flow and enhanced oxygen delivery improve combustion efficiency and minimize soot formation.
