Ion Analysis

The Dionex DX-80 Ion Analyser is a reliable, low cost instrument for the analysis of anions or cations. The DX-80 is preconfigured and specifically designed for routine ion analysis.

Advanced electronics give reliable, high resolution digital conductivity detection over a 500 µS range without using complicated range settings. The cell is temperature controlled and, when used with the continuous suppression of the MMS III, provides low noise and stable baselines. The result is reliable, sensitive analysis over a concentration range from one part per billion to hundreds of parts per million.

Fluid delivery is through a high-speed reciprocating PEEK pump with a single set of check valves and seals to minimise maintenance costs.

The DX-80 is fully controlled with PeakNet-IA software, which is easy to learn. Virtually all functions are accessed from one intuitive screen. Users simply enter the sample information, push start, and results for each sample are displayed in a table as each run is completed. Individual chromatograms can be reviewed and the pre-optimised integration can be altered with drag-and-drop tools.

Recalibration is easy using the predefined calibration routines. Preloaded integration and calibration methods simplify day-to-day operations and training.
