Metrosep Anion Dual 3 (6.1006.120)
For biological samples the Dual 3 made of PEEK isthe most suitable. With it separation problems can
be solved surely both with and without chemical
suppression. The performance profile is identical to
that of the Metrosep Dual 2. This means that early
eluting ions are well separated and the oxyhalides
can be determined efficiently. The Metrosep Dual 3
can also be used for samples with high chloride butlow nitritecontents.If work is carried out by means of electrochemicaldetection, the Metrosep Dual 3 can be used for the
determination of bromide and iodide.In order to increase the working life of the columnwe recommend the use of the Metrosep RP Guard
(6.1011.020). Carrier materialPolymethacrylate with quaternaryammonium groupsColumn dimensions100 x 4.0 mm
