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.
Flexible configurations
Dionex ICS-6000 HPIC systems come in standard bore, microbore and capillary formats with multiple detector options. This high-pressure IC system can address a full range of IC applications, from 2-D IC for trace-level analysis to high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) for complex carbohydrate analysis.
Mass spectrometry compatible
The system is compatible with single quadrupole, triple quadrupole and high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) Thermo Scientific Orbitrap mass analyzer-based mass spectrometers for performing powerful ion chromatography-mass spectrometry (IC-MS) analyses.
Tablet control*
The system comes equipped with a tablet featuring an intuitive interface and direct local control of the system and its status. The interface is available in 11 different languages to customize your user experience. It allows you to communicate with the instrument via a secured WiFi or wired connection and access consumables installation guides and a troubleshooting knowledgebase.
Consumables Device Monitor*
The Consumables Device Monitor automatically identifies and tracks the installation time, use and performance metrics of up to 25 different consumables to prevent consumable installation errors, help schedule preventative maintenance and manage consumable usage to minimize instrument downtime.
Automated Eluent Generation (EG)
For unmatched method reproducibility and accuracy, the system can electrolytically generate high-purity hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate, or methanesulfonic acid (MSA) eluents when provided with a source of high-purity deionized water. Using the Dual EGC mode, the Dionex ICS-6000 HPIC system can also generate potassium hydroxide/potassium methanesulfonate (KOH/KMSA) eluents for complex carbohydrate analysis.
CDS Software
The Dionex ICS-6000 HPIC system comes with the easy-to-use Thermo Scientific Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS). This software platform provides powerful control and data processing for IC and offers eWorkflows that make all our essential applications easily accessible. Additionally, the Chromeleon CDS can control mass spectrometry systems, enabling seamless IC-MS analyses.
