IC anion separation columns for analyses with or without chemical suppression >
Metrosep Anion Dual 4 – 25 (6.1016.010)
The Metrosep Dual 4 columns are based on a newlydeveloped carrier material, namely a functionalized
monolith based on silica gel. The monolith allows a
flow rate of the eluent of up to 5 mL/min. The
column is characterized by small back-pressure despite
the high flow rate.In contrast to traditional materials the monolith has amuch larger surface due to its structure of macropores
and mesopores. This results in a high capacity of the
column and a very small dead volume.The only 25 mm long Metrosep Dual 4 column allowsthe separation of some standard anions in less than
one minute. In this way nitrite and nitrate are separated
in only 45 seconds. Ion chromatography is thus faster
than many FIA systems (Flow Injection Analysis systems).The column may be used with or without chemicalsuppression. It is recommended to install the RP Trap
Column (6.1014.100) between the pulsation absorber
and the injection valve, if p-cyanophenol is used as
an eluent. Technical information Carrier materialMonolithic silica gel
