			| Dionex IonPac CS20 IC columns | 
			
			 High-capacity column for common cation and amine analysis. Complementary column to the Dionex IonPac CS18 and Dionex IonPac CS19 that elutes amines away from interfering matrix ions. Requires high-pressure IC. 
			 | 
			
			 Group I and Group II cations, and amines including methylamines, ethylamines, ethanolamines, and alkanolamines in diverse sample matrices. Tolerates acidic samples. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS19-4µm IC Columns | 
			
			 High-resolution separation of cations, small polar amines, moderately hydrophobic amines and polyvalent amines. Requires high-pressure IC for faster runs. This newer column replaces the Dionex IonPac CS18 column. 
			 | 
			
			 Common cations and amines in environmental and power plant waters, chemical process and refinery scrubber solutions, personal care products, and food and beverage samples. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS19 IC Columns | 
			
			 For common cations, small polar amines, moderately hydrophobic amines, and polyvalent amines. Operates under 3000 psi on standard IC systems. This newer column replaces the Dionex IonPac CS18 column. 
			 | 
			
			 Common cations and amines in environmental and power plant waters, chemical process and refinery scrubber solutions, personal care products, and food and beverage samples. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS18 IC Columns | 
			
			 Low-capacity column for gradient separation of polyvalent and moderately hydrophobic amines in complex matrices using aqueous eluents and elevated temperature. 
			 | 
			
			 Polar amines (alkanolamines and methylamines) and moderately hydrophobic amines (biogenic amines, diamines and polyamines) in diverse sample matrices, including foods and beverages. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS17 IC Columns | 
			
			 Gradient separation of polyvalent and more hydrophobic amines, biogenic amines, and diamines. This newer column replaces the Dionex IonPac CS14 column. 
			 | 
			
			 Hydrophobic amines in complex matrices without solvent, such as environmental and power plant waters, chemical process and refinery scrubber solutions, personal care products, and food and beverage samples. 
			 | 
		
		
			| 
			 Dionex IonPac CS16-4µm and CS16-Fast-4µm IC Columns 
			 | 
			
			 Highest-capacity, high-resolution cation columns to analyze disparate concentration ratios of closely eluting cations such as sodium and ammonium in complex matrices. Requires high-pressure IC for faster runs using higher flow rates. 
			 | 
			
			 Short-chain amines and trace-level ammonium with high sodium concentration (and vice-versa) in complex industrial samples. Best cation column for low pH samples. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS16 IC Columns | 
			
			 Highest-capacity cation column to separate high- to low-concentration ratios of sodium and ammonium in complex sample matrices. This newer column replaces the Dionex IonPac CS15 column. 
			 | 
			
			 Short-chain amines and trace-level ammonium with high sodium concentration (and vice-versa) in complex industrial samples. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS15 IC Columns | 
			
			 Moderate-capacity column with unique selectivity for samples with high ammonium to low ethanolamine ratios. The Dionex IonPac CS16 is a newer, ideal alternative to this column. 
			 | 
			
			 Ethanolamines and ammonium cations present in disparate concentration ratios in diverse sample matrices. Ethanolamines elute before ammonium. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS14 IC Columns | 
			
			 Moderately low-capacity cation-exchange column for analysis of aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, and polyamines using MSA or sulfuric acid eluents. The newer Dionex IonPac CS17, CS19 and CS19-4µm columns are newer alternatives to this column. 
			 | 
			
			 Aliphatic amines and Group I and Group II cations in diverse sample matrices. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS12A IC Columns | 
			
			 Separation of mono- and divalent cations including manganese. Use Dionex IonPac CS16 column for high- to low-concentration ratios of adjacent eluting cations. 
			 | 
			
			 Common cations and ammonium in drinking water, process waters and industrial samples. Trace cations in various matrices. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS12 IC Columns | 
			
			 High-capacity column for fast isocratic separation of common inorganic cations in diverse matrices. The Dionex IonPac CS12A column is a newer alternative to this column. 
			 | 
			
			 Fast, isocratic separation of lithium, sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium using methanesulfonic or sulfuric acid eluents in diverse sample matrices. 
			 | 
		
		
			| Dionex IonPac CS11 IC Columns |
