Laboratory Instrument Procurement | Laboratory Analytical Instrument Repair

Laboratory equipment and instruments, analytical instrument repair, instrument certification, leasing, relocation, and second-hand laboratory analytical instruments and equipment;

Nanjing Aikon Scientific Instrument Co., Ltd. can provide you with second-hand analytical instruments such as liquid chromatographs, gas chromatographs, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometers, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometers from brands like Agilent, Waters, Shimadzu, Thermo, Sciex, as well as technical services including single repairs, annual maintenance services, instrument certification, and relocation.

Ion chromatography is mainly used for the analysis of environmental samples, including anions and cations in surface water, drinking water, rainwater, domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, acid deposition, and atmospheric particulate matter, as well as the analysis of trace impurities in water and reagents related to the microelectronics industry.

Additionally, it is widely applied in fields such as food, health, petrochemicals, water, and geology.

Common ions frequently tested include:

Anions: F-, Cl-, Br-, NO2-, PO43-, NO3-, SO42-, formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, etc.

Cations: Li+, Na+, NH4+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, etc.

Ion chromatography excels in separating and determining common anions. With a single injection, results for seven common ions can be obtained within about 20 minutes, which is unmatched by other analytical methods. For cation determination, ion chromatography does not show superiority compared to AAS and ICP methods.

Workflow

General process: A high-pressure infusion pump delivers the mobile phase at a stable flow rate (or pressure) to the analytical system. The sample is introduced via an injector before the chromatographic column, and the mobile phase carries the sample into the column, where components are separated and sequentially flow to the detector. In suppressed ion chromatography, a suppression system is added before the conductivity detector, where another high-pressure pump delivers regenerant to the suppressor. In the suppressor, the background conductivity of the mobile phase is reduced, and the effluent is directed to the conductivity cell. The detected signal is sent to the data processing system for recording, processing, or storage. Non-suppressed ion chromatography does not use a suppressor or a high-pressure pump for regenerant delivery, making the instrument structure relatively simpler and more affordable.
