Dionex ICS- HPIC systems come in a variety of configurations, with the ability operate as a single- or dual-channel system to run samples concurrently. This high-pressure IC system can address a full range of IC applications, from 2-D IC for trace-level analysis to high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) for complex carbohydrate analysis.

Wide range of IC columns

The Dionex ICS- HPIC system is compatible with 4 μm-particle-size IC columns, which are available in 150 or 250 mm lengths. The 150 mm-length columns decrease run times while maintaining chromatographic resolution. The 250 mm-length columns offer improved peak resolution.

Mass spectrometry compatible

The Dionex ICS- HPIC system is the ideal IC system to work in tandem with mass spectrometry, as it can used for a wide variety of sample analyses. From single quadrupole to high resolution accurate mass (HRAM) Thermo Scientific Orbitrap mass spectrometers, IC-MS analysis provides improved selectivity and higher sensitivity.

Automated Eluent Generation (EG)

For unmatched method reproducibility and accuracy, the system can electrolytically generate high-purity hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate, or methanesulfonic acid (MSA) eluents when provided with a source of high-purity deionized water. Using the Dual EGC mode, the Dionex ICS- HPIC system can also generate potassium hydroxide/potassium methanesulfonate (KOH/KMSA) eluents for complex carbohydrate analysis.

Introduction

Cornerstone Analytical provides new lab establishment services to other laboratories, manufacturers and clinics.  With this service, laboratories, manufacturers and clinics can establish an entire new laboratory in their facility or simply bring in a new test.

These services are ideal for the organization that doesn’t have the internal expertise to:

1. Identify the required method(s)
2. Purchase the correct instrumentation, equipment and supplies
3. Install the instrument
4. Verify performance of the instrumentation
5. Verify performance of the method
6. Train technicians to perform the method
7. Provide routine support

Cornerstone Analytical staff will help your staff perform all of those requirements.  With a simple call to our staff, you will have the correct instrument and trained staff in your laboratory performing the test within a reasonable timeframe.

The company is the world’s best Ion Chromatography instrument supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

Identify the Required Method(s)

Cornerstone Analytical staff will discuss testing needs with your staff in detail to understand which method is required.  If there isn’t a commercial or nationally recognized method available, we can create one for you.

Method Development

If there isn’t a commercial or nationally recognized method available for the test, Cornerstone Analytical will prepare a method for the analysis.  Once the method document is prepared, we’ll verify its performance by checking it for Accuracy, Precision, Specificity, Limits of Detection/Quantitation, Linearity and Range.  We will also report all of the findings to you in a method development report.  This approach gives the customer the opportunity to see how well the method will perform before they invest in the instrumentation.

Purchase the Correct Instrumentation, Equipment and Supplies

After the method has been determined, Cornerstone Staff will purchase all of the correct instrumentation and supplies, and arrange for them to be shipped to our customer’s site.  Cornerstone Analytical will provide the customer with the list of required instrumentation, supplies and vendors.  That way our customers know where to get the items they need.

New or Used Equipment

We all like to save money, right?  Sometimes there is no other choice but to buy a new instrument from an instrument manufacturer.  However, when there is opportunity to purchase a lightly used or demo instrument at a considerable savings, rest assured that we’ll present that option to you.

Instrument Installation

When the instrument is delivered at our customer’s site, we will spend several days at the site to install it.  This includes hooking up all power, gas, water, etc the instrument requires.

Once completed, we provide the customer with a field report on the installation and training certificates for each of the technicians.

Verify Instrument Performance

Once installed, we’ll check the performance of the instrument to make sure it is running as it should.

Verify Method Peroformance

When the instrument has been shown to be installed and performing as expected, we’ll test it further by using it to run the method.

Train Technicians

When everything is satisfactory with the instrument and method, we’ll train your technicians how to use the instrument and run the method.

Routine Support

When we leave, rest assured that we stand behind the work with our service warranty.  If you have any issues with the instrument or method during the warranty period, you can call us to work it out.  If we can’t work it out, we’ll send someone to your site to help you figure it out.
