Thermo Fisher Scientific Releases New Ion Chromatography System

Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Dionex Inuvion Ion Chromatography (IC) system, for ion chromatography analysis. Designed to be reconfigurable, the new technology can be used by scientists working in a variety of industries including food and beverage, municipal water, and more. This technology can also identify corrosive contaminants in oil and gas while providing quality assurance and quality control of ionic compounds in food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals.

“The Dionex Inuvion system is built on years of expertise and this new system will provide enhanced capabilities to labs of all sizes while helping streamline our IC portfolio so labs can more easily find the technology that is best for their needs,” said Lidija Raicevic, vice president and general manager of Ion Chromatography and Sample Preparation at Thermo Fisher Scientificin a press release.

Ion chromatography is a process that separates ions and polar molecules based their affinity to an ion exchanger. This process is based on a protein’s electrical charge, which has positively and negatively charged chemical groups and can be altered by buffer pH changes (1).

Thermo Fisher’s new system can be tailored to different analytical requirements and extend IC capabilities, which means that it can adapt to changing conditions. The Dionex Inuvion IC system is available in three system configurations: the Dionex Inuvion Core IC system, Dionex Inuvion IC system, and Dionex Inuvion IC system with Reagent-Free IC (RFIC) capabilities (2). This system can be upgraded, and customers can choose to install optional accessories that are tailored to certain application needs.
