Metrosep Anion Dual 4 – 100 (6.1016.030)
The Metrosep Dual 4 columns are based on a newlydeveloped carrier material, namely a functionalized
monolith based on silica gel.The monolith allows aflow rate of the eluent 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 a much 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 Metrosep Dual 4 – 100 is suitable for a greatnumber of applications. Thus all standard anions can
be separated in less than nine minutes. The high
column capacity makes it to a large extent insensitive
to matrix influences. Even in a matrix of 3 g chloride,
nitrate and sulfate 0.5 µg/L perchlorate are detectable.
It is therefore used in the analysis of perchlorate
according to the EPA standard 314.The column may be used with or without chemicalsuppression. It is recommended to install the RP Trap

and the injection valve if p-cyanophenol is used as
an eluent. Technical information Carrier materialMonolithic silica gel
