Installation instructions

Dionex ICS-3000/5000/5000+/6000 DC

Procedure

  1. Install the suppressor using the suppressor holder on the CD in the upper compartment.
  2. Ensure the upper compartment temperature is set to a value no greater than 40°C and temperature control is turned on.
  3. It is recommended that the upper compartment is kept cooler than the lower compartment. If using a single zone DC, do not set the temperature above 40°C. For best noise performance the upper compartment should be set to 20° C.

Dionex Integrion

Procedure

  1. Install the suppressor using the suppressor holder on the Conductivity Detector in the detector compartment (bottom right door).
  2. If the Dionex Integrion is fitted with detector compartment temperature control, ensure the detector compartment temperature is set to a value less than 40°C and temperature control is turned on.
  3. It is recommended that the detector compartment is kept cooler than the column compartment (left door). For best noise performance the detector compartment should be set to 20° C.

Dionex Aquion, Dionex ICS 1100/1600/2100, AS50 thermal chamber TC and CC

Procedure

  1. Install the suppressor using the suppressor holder.
  2. The suppressor is installed outside the heated column enclosure. It can support all high-temperature applications up to 60° C.
  3. Add a length of tubing (up to 20”, 50 cm) between the column outlet and the suppressor inlet to allow time for the eluent to cool to room temperature if operating the column above 35°C.

LC30 and LC25 ovens

Procedure

  1. For all ANION and CATION applications up to 40° C, install the suppressor in the oven using the suppressor holder.
  2. For operation above 40° C and up to 60° C, it is recommended that the suppressor is installed outside the oven; this ensures optimal performance of the suppressor in terms of noise and background.
  3. The Dionex CDRS 600 and Dionex CERS 500e suppressors are fully compatible with operation up to 60° C. The noise performance would be slightly inferior at 60° C versus 30° C.

NOTE

For best performance and suppressor longevity, the suppressor should be kept as cool as possible; 20° C is ideal.

If using a Dionex DRS 600 in Legacy Mode, a Dionex ERS 500e or Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate, set the required current based on your specific application requirements for column flow rate and temperature in addition to eluent concentration. If using Chromeleon software, the Wizard can greatly assist you in determining the correct requirements.

Refer to Calculate the electrical current for the suppressor for suppressor current calculations and Appendix A for examples.
