Summary

The Dionex ICS-2100 Ion Chromatography System (ICS-2100) performs ion analyses using suppressed or non-suppressed conductivity detection. An ion chromatography system typically consists of a liquid eluent, a high-pressure pump, a sample injector, a guard and separator column, a chemical suppressor, a conductivity cell, and a data collection system.

The instrument is located in W108 Plant Sciences Building. Enquiries should be directed to Dr. Thomas Borch. Phone 970-491-6235 (office).

Rates

We offer cations (Lithium, Sodium, Ammonium, Postassium, Magnesium, Calcium, etc) and anions (Fluoride, Chloride, Nitrite, Sulfate, Bromide, Nitrate, Phosphate,etc) analysis.  The rate is $10/sample.
