Advances in fast ion chromatography
24 March 2006 | By Charles A. Lucy and Sarah Pelletier, Department of Chemistry, University of Alberta
Ion chromatography (IC) allows the determination of trace ions using low capacity high efficiency columns possessing fixed ion exchange sites. Combined with suppressed conductivity detection, IC yields parts-per-billion detection of the seven common inorganic anions (F-, Cl-, NO2-, Br-, NO3-, HPO42- and SO42-) and to a lesser extent carboxylic acids,…
