Description
Dionex ICS-6000 HPIC System
The modular Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-6000 HPIC system isn’t a highly configurable ion chromatography (IC) system with high pressure 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.
