Dionex - ICS-5000 Capillary Reagent-Free IC System
Manufactured by Dionex
The most flexible IC system now featuring Capillary IC
The ICS-5000 Reagent-Free™ IC (RFIC™) system with Eluent Generation is the world’s first capillary IC system. Developed with flexibility, modularity, and ease-of-use in mind, the ICS-5000 combines the highest sensitivity with convenience.
With the ability to analyze samples at capillary, microbore, or standard flow rates (or any combination of two, in a dual system), the system is simply Always Ready. The wide variety of ICS-5000 modules allows you to configure an ion chromatography system designed specifically to provide the solutions you need.

Features of ICS-5000 Capillary Reagent-Free IC System
- Increased sensitivity with IC × IC (2-D IC) and suppressed conductivity detection
- Combine a first-dimension standard bore column with a second-dimension capillary column for detection limits in the low ng/L range
- 100-fold increase in mass sensitivity using capillary columns compared to standard bore columns
- Unmatched sensitivity with direct-injection IC-MS/MS
- Always ready; decreases calibration and equilibration time
- Consumes just 5.25 L of water per year at capillary flow rates
- EG cartridge lasts for 18 months of continuous operation at capillary flow rates under typical conditions
- Easy configuration with IC Cube consumable cartridges
- Up to four times faster IC separations using Fast IC columns
- Capillary and micro/standard flow rates and columns for application flexibility
- Excellent ease of use with fewer connections and precut, preformed tubing
- Reduced sample sizes for low volume sampling, as low as 0.4 µL
- Reduced cost-of-ownership with reduced waste and lower eluent usage
