The Master Science Ion Chromatograph System is an integrated, intelligent IC built around an in-line eluent generator and a built-in gradient pump made of PEEK. The eluent is produced by electrolysis of deionised water, so the operator no longer prepares it by hand.
Every wetted part, from the eluent reservoir to the tubing and fittings, is non-metallic. Pump, column oven, detector and eluent generator are separate modules, and the instrument can be coupled to UV, MS, MS/MS and ICP-MS detectors for more demanding work.

Common Problems and How This System Helps
How the Master Science Ion Chromatograph System tackles routine IC difficulties:
- Eluent that varies from batch to batch: automatic in-line generation.
- Corrosion and metal ions from steel parts: all-plastic flow path.
- Complex sample matrices: on-line enrichment and matrix elimination.
- Baseline drift with room temperature: temperature-controlled oven, suppressor and detector.
