Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ Integrion™ HPIC™ System

Thermo Fisher Scientific

As an ion chromatographer, the routine IC applications you run give the rest of us the peace of mind to use everyday resources like water, food and beverages, biofuels and pharmaceuticals without a second thought. Using this high-pressure-capable IC system to separate and quantify common ionic pollutants in municipal drinking water and wastewater can provide faster, more cost-effective methods for regulatory compliance testing.   Nothing supports you in this role more than your laboratory instruments. The Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ Integrion™ HPIC™ system is designed to be your reliable lab partner.     Features:   Simplified plumbing layout with integrated architecture - Layout based on logical flow-path for easy component access in a compact platform with a small physical footprint. Consumables Device Monitor - Provides positive identification of a consumable's performance metrics, preventing consumable installation errors and mismatches by automatically logging consumable use and performance. Detachable tablet with local language support - Flexible access to IC controls that speak your language Upgradeable features - In a fluid market with changing demands, the Dionex Integrion IC system offers a wide range of upgradable components, so it can grow with your needs over time. These include electrolytic sample preparation and electrolytic water purification Automated Eluent Generation (EG™) - Eliminate human errors associated with manual eluent preparation and improve method reproducibility from operator-to-operator and lab-to-lab. The Dionex Integrion IC system brings consistent results to all your applications. In this case, 100 injections of a simple sugar mixture are highly reproducible. Wide range of column support - Choose the column sizes you need for your applications, including smaller-particle-size 4 µm columns that provide faster run times and better resolution. Flexibility – two different models to choose from and option to choose right detector or column format for your application

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. PesticidesPesticides are used to protect crops from diseases, pests and unwanted plants. They are classed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and can be harmful to humans. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently regulates the use of pesticides in the USA. Food SafetyFood safety describes the prevention of food-borne illnesses. Contamination with a variety of pathogens can be prevented with adequate temperature control, hygiene and labeling. Food samples can be tested using GC/MS, HPLC, SPE, and qPCR to ensure their adherence to regulations.Food TestingFood testing refers to a variety experiments including PCR, mass spectrometry, processing, QuEChERS, analyzing and Kjeldahl.Food ContaminationFood contamination refers to the presence of harmful substances or pathogens in food, posing risks to human health. Contaminants can be biological, chemical, or physical, and their detection is crucial for ensuring food safety. Advanced testing methods like PCR, chromatography, and spectroscopy are used to identify contaminants in food products. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best solutions for food contamination detection, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Food QualityFood quality refers to the attributes of food that influence its safety, nutrition, and taste. Monitoring and ensuring food quality are essential in production to meet health regulations and consumer expectations. Techniques like spectroscopy, chromatography, and microbial testing are used to assess food properties and detect contaminants.
