Ion Chromatography Learning Center

Ion chromatography (IC) is an analytical chemistry technique that is used across the environmental, food and beverage, industrial, and pharma/biopharma industries to analyze ions and polar molecules that cannot be easily separated using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It separates and detects ions based on their interactions with a stationary phase (resin) and a mobile phase (eluent). Much like HPLC, ion chromatography systems include an autosampler, pump, separation column, and detector. In addition, IC systems include a unique component called a suppressor, which helps the peaks from sample components stand out from background noise in the chromatogram.

As a leader in IC innovation, we are committed to providing you with the latest resources to meet the ever-increasing requirements of productivity, performance and simplicity. Discover the latest technology innovations, common applications, and support resources in our IC learning center.
