Polymer-Based Ion Chromatography Columns
Suppressor and Non-Suppressor Systems for Rapid Analysis
Analytical laboratories frequently encounter challenges with silica-based ion chromatography columns degrading rapidly under extreme pH conditions, compromising data integrity for critical anion and cation exchange methods.
Shodex addresses this directly with advanced polymer-based IC columns, engineered for exceptional durability and high performance. These robust systems achieve reliable lot-to-lot consistency, delivering superior pH stability and chemical stability crucial for complex sample matrices, including precise analysis of oxyhalides and inorganic ions.
Shodex™ ion chromatography columns are among the best in the industry. Refer to the features for each column and the column selection guide below to learn more about our products.
Optimized Systems for Diverse IC Applications
To meet the varied demands of modern analytical laboratories, we offer both suppressed columns for sensitive anion separations required for water analyses and non-suppressed columns that can be run on traditional HPLC systems equipped with a conductivity detector.
Each is precisely engineered to deliver the performance required for specific applications, ensuring efficient and reliable anion analysis or cation analysis.
Suppressor IC Columns for High-Sensitivity Analysis
Shodex suppressor IC columns are designed for ultra-sensitive conductivity detection of trace inorganic anions.
Features include:
- Compatibility with challenging alkaline conditions, such as sodium carbonate eluent and potassium hydroxide (KOH) eluent
- Rapid oxyhalide analysis IC, as well as quantifying trace fluoride, chloride, nitrate, sulfate and phosphate
- Support for demanding IC columns for water testing methods like EPA 300 ion chromatography
Non-Suppressor IC Columns for Standard HPLC Systems
For laboratories requiring accessible and versatile solutions, Shodex non-suppressor IC columns integrate seamlessly into standard HPLC systems.
Features include:
- No additional suppressor hardware required.
- Efficient separation of inorganic anions from organic acids in anion chromatography columns
- Ideal for rapid analysis and cost-effectiveness
| Column | Feature / Description |
|---|---|
| NI-424 | Non-suppressor anion column for general inorganic ions. Provides improved separation of fluoride and phosphate ions compared with I-524A. |
| I-524A | Non-suppressor anion column for routine analysis using a conventional HPLC system with conductivity detection. Fulfills USP-NF L23 requirements. |
| SI-90 4E | Suppressor-type anion column for general inorganic ion analysis using carbonate-based eluents. Suitable for EPA Method 300.1(A) applications. |
| SI-50 4E | High-resolution suppressor-type column for general inorganic anions, including fluoride. Useful for complex samples containing organic acids. |
| SI-52 4E | Suppressor-type column designed for simultaneous analysis of oxyhalides and general inorganic anions using carbonate-based eluents. Suitable for EPA Method 300.1(B) applications. |
| SI-35 4D | Rapid-analysis suppressor-type column for oxyhalides and general inorganic anions using carbonate-based eluents. |
| SI-35 2B | Short suppressor-type column for rapid analysis of general inorganic anions using carbonate-based eluents. |
| SI-36 4D | Suppressor-type anion column compatible with potassium hydroxide eluents. Provides improved selectivity for sulfite and sulfate and can separate seven common inorganic anions under isocratic conditions. |
Polymer-Based Advantages: Unmatched Performance for Regulated Applications
Shodex’s polymer-based technology offers distinct advantages for laboratories operating under stringent regulatory scrutiny:
- Environmental compliance: Achieve reliable results for environmental water testing and drinking water analysis, with columns meeting EPA 300 method requirements for accurate and reproducible data.
- Pharmaceutical quality control: Align with stringent pharmaceutical QC standards, including USP-NF L23 requirements, through columns designed for exceptional stability and reproducibility over thousands of uses.
- Operational efficiency: Benefit from the extended lifetime and superior lot-to-lot consistency of polymer-based materials, which significantly reduce column replacement frequency and overall laboratory costs.
