Chromatography

Analyte

• Liquid and solid samples
• Depending on the problem, the samples have to be digested first

Equipment

• Combustion Ion Chromatography - CIC System (Metrohm)
  • 881 Compact IC pro with conductivity detector
  • 920 Absorber Module
  • Combustion Module equipped with Autosampler for solids and liquids
• High-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD)
  • Dionex ICS-5000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific)

Targets

Qualitative und quantitative determination of:

• Anions - F^-, Cl^-, Br^-, I^-, NO₃^-, SO₄^2-, PO₄^3- ...
• Cations - NH₄⁺ ...
• Low molecular organic acids and alcohols
• Mono-, Di-, Oligo- and Polysaccharide

Applications

• Environmental analysis
• Purity determination, product- and by-product-analysis
• Detection of halogens in organic compounds down to ppm range
• Biomass composition
• Carbohydrate analysis
