Depending on the specific components (analytical column, conductivity cell, back pressure coils) in the system, ¼-28 or 10-32 ferrule/bolt liquid lines may be required. All necessary tubing and fittings are supplied in the detector or Dionex RFC-10 or Dionex RFC-30 Ship Kits. To purchase or assemble ¼-28 or 10-32 ferrule/bolt liquid lines, refer to, “Dionex Liquid Line Fittings.”

Thermo Scientific recommends the use of PEEK Viper fittings for all suppressor connections. If not available, use 0.005” i.d. PEEK tubing (red) with 10-32 ferrule/bolt fittings on 2 mm systems, and 0.010” i.d. PEEK tubing (black) with 10-32 ferrule/bolt fittings on 4 mm systems. Avoid adding dead volume to the system by keeping all eluent lines as short as possible.

Procedure

  1. Install the Dionex DRS 600, Dionex ERS 500e, or Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate inside the Dionex ICS Module.
  2. Connect the outlet of the analytical column to the ELUENT IN of the suppressor.
  3. Connect the ELUENT OUT port of the suppressor to the inlet of the conductivity cell.
