Dionex and EMD Millipore, the Life Science division of Merck KGaA of Germany, has announced a worldwide distribution agreement for the EMD Millipore ICW-3000 water purification system for Dionex ion chromatography (IC) systems using RFIC-EG technology.
“This water purification system is ideal for capillary IC analysis on the new Dionex capillary IC system,” explains Stéphane Dupont, EMD Millipore product manager. “The IC system has a very low demand for eluent water, and the continuous purification by the water purification system provides ultrapure water for extended periods without refilling,” he adds.
According to the company the water purification system was designed specifically as an ultrapure water source for Dionex Reagent-Free IC systems with the “Just Add Water” technology that is reported to eliminate the need for eluent preparation.
“Operators can have complete confidence that their IC systems will have high quality water to enhance instrument performance and reliability,” says Bernard Sheldon, IC system product manager for Dionex. “With no worries about eluent contamination, and with total integration of the water purifier to the IC system, this is truly set-and-forget chromatography.”
