New High-Pressure Ion Chromatography (HPIC) System Delivers New Levels of Simplicity and Flexibility

Thermo Scientific Dionex Integrion HPIC system breaks new ground in productivity and efficiency for applied markets

ATLANTA – Pittcon 2016 – (March 7, 2016) – Now scientists in environmental, food safety, pharmaceutical and industrial/petrochemical laboratories can rely on a new flexible and configurable HPIC system designed to deliver exceptional performance, productivity and efficiency.

The Thermo Scientific Dionex Integrion HPIC system, exhibited for the first time at Pittcon 2016 (booth 2239) at the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, is the newest addition to ThermoFisher Scientific’s leading ion chromatography portfolio. The system is intuitive and easy-to-use, and capable of addressing challenging laboratory workflows.

“The new Dionex Integrion HPIC system delivers innovation from the inside out,” said Evett Kruka, vice president and general manager, ion chromatography and sample preparation, Thermo Fisher. “With 40 years of expertise and innovation in ionchromatography, we have worked closely with our customers to develop a system on which they can rely to produce accurate and reproducible results, under a variety of conditions and circumstances. Whether scientists are using IC technology to analyze water, food and beverages, biofuels or pharmaceuticals, the Dionex Integrion HPIC system offers flexibility, ease-of-use and configurability to meet their evolving needs.”

The Dionex Integrion HPIC system delivers features previously available only on high-end Thermo Scientific systems, including high-pressure capability and optional electrochemical detection. With a simple, logical, flow-based plumbing layout and integrated performance features, including whole-system smart monitoring, the Dionex Integrion HPIC offers fast run times in a robust and reliable system. Additional features may include:

· Easy-to-install IC PEEK Viper Fittings that enable easy operation and minimize peak dispersion and band broadening—ultimately improving chromatographic resolution.

· Detachable tablet with local language support that allows the flexibility toaccess IC controls even while away from the instrument.

· Consumables device monitor that regulates installation errors by logging and tracking both system and consumable performance—storing data in a secure, cloud server that improves preventative maintenance and maximizes uptime.

· Thermally regulated detector compartment that provides extended life to consumables.

· Thermo Scientific Dionex Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS) software to streamline workflow from samples to results quickly and easily.

Also new to the Thermo Scientific IC portfolio is the Thermo Scientific Dionex Aquion ICsystem , which brings reliability in a compact platform and the simplified operationneeded for routine IC analysis. Based on the company’s reliable ICS-1100 platform, thesystem features electrolytic suppression for consistent performance and ease-of-use, anoptional column heater for improved reproducibility and an optional vacuum degasserfor improved baseline stability.
