Key Features
- Flexible, adaptable platform
- The Dionex Inuvion IC System is designed to help your lab meet the needs of today and the future. Upgrade the Dionex Inuvion IC System to include RFIC for automated eluent generation capabilities. Optional accessories can be swapped in and out of the instrument by users in less than five minutes for extended application capabilities.
- Ultra-reliable performance
- This state-of-the-art ion chromatography system is engineered for maximum productivity. With new pump technology and electronics, the Dionex Inuvion IC System provides enhanced day-to-day reliability. System self-diagnostics also detect any issues with hardware and consumables, giving you the confidence that it will be ready to run whenever you are.
- Easy-to-use platform
- The Dionex Inuvion IC System is designed for fast startup and maximum uptime. With convenient, unobstructed access to all necessary components and a logical flow path, users can quickly and safely access everything on the instrument.
- Suppression compatibility
- The Dionex Inuvion IC System offers the choice of using either chemical suppression, for more challenging samples, or electrolytic suppression, for ease of use and convenience. Suppressors remove conductive ions from the eluent to decrease background conductivity, while enhancing analyte signal, enabling high sensitivity to achieve low detection limits with conductivity detection.
- High-pressure operation
- With the ability to operate at up to 5,000 psi, the Dionex Inuvion IC System can take advantage of high-performance 4 µm-particle-size Thermo Scientific Dionex IC columns for more efficient separations that can be used to shorten run times.
- Comprehensive service and support
- Optimize the Dionex Inuvion IC system with the Unity™ Lab Services IonCare™ 5-year service plan*. This extensive plan includes coverage for parts, labor, and travel, and 2 preventive maintenance visits. Experience hassle-free, budget-friendly support that ensures your system functions smoothly and efficiently.
*IonCare service plan is available only in North America and Europe
