IPC-WP-008 - White Paper

Ion chromatography has been recognized as a method for which the data output is ion specific and very precise in the quantification of ionic residues. This paper is intended for those contemplating the setup of an ion chromatography lab and provides many of the practical considerations that should be addressed, including the core components of an ion chromatograph system such as carrier solutions, pumps, injection valves and detectors. Coverage is also given to support equipment, chemical considerations, consumables, waste streams and overall operating costs.
