Selectivity studies using a new anion separation column for IC

In chromatographic work the selectivity of the column with respect to the substances to be determined is of great importance, especially if very similar components have to be separated. In contrast to HPLC, in ion hromatography the elution sequence of the ions is given by their charges and ion radii for practically all separation materials. There are only few separation columns whose selectivities for a few anions can be modified by external parameters such as temperature, pH value of the eluent or eluent composition in general.

The anion separation column METROSEP A Supp 10 is very flexible regarding selectivity modifications. Thus, for example, bromide and nitrate can be shifted widely within the chromatogram by just changing the column temperature. The position of the phosphate peak can also be adapted to the requirements of the separation problem by varying the eluent composition.

Another advantage of this separation column is the very large selectivity difference of sulfite and sulfate as well as the position and small size of the system peak (carbonate), which elutes much earlier than chloride.

Metrosep A Supp 10 Variants

50 x 4.0 mm ID ideal for straightforward separation problems and non-problematic matrices ... product details
75 x 4.0 mm ID for high sample throughput and for samples with high ionic strength, e.g. for the analysis of cola drinks or for air analysis ... product details
100 x 4.0 mm ID excellent separation performance combined with moderate elution times; universally applicable anion separation column ... product details
250 x 4.0 mm ID for samples with high ionic strength, for complex separation tasks and for analyses with very large concentration differences between the individual components ... product details

The A Supp 10 IC separation column is extremely flexible. By modifying the eluent composition and/or the temperature, this IC column can be adapted to a large number of applications, thus replacing part of the special columns that have been required up to now.
