Ion Chromatograph – Toron-IC™ 100 (New)

Ion Chromatograph – Toron-IC™ 100 (New) Key Features

Core Performance Features:

• High-Performance Dual-Piston Pump: At the heart of the system is the robust dual-piston pump, designed to deliver a highly stable and consistent mobile phase flow. This configuration ensures minimal pulsation and high pressure capability, which is critical for achieving reproducible retention times and maintaining high-quality chromatographic separation across various methods.
• Wide Flow Rate Range: Offering exceptional flexibility, the pump's adjustable flow rate spans from a micro-scale 0.001 mL/min up to 12 mL/min. This broad range accommodates a variety of column chemistries and sizes, from narrow-bore to standard analytical columns, allowing researchers to optimize methods for sensitivity, speed, or sample throughput.
• Metal-Free PEEK Flow Path: To prevent corrosion and sample contamination, the system utilizes a chemically inert flow path constructed from Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK). This design is highly compatible with virtually all ion chromatography eluents, safely handling the full pH 0 to 14 range without leaching metal ions, thus ensuring the integrity of trace-level analyses.

System Stability and Reliability:

• 3D Circulating Constant Temperature Control: The system incorporates a sophisticated temperature management module that utilizes 3D circulating technology. This ensures rapid and precise thermal equilibration, reaching optimal stability in under 30 minutes. Maintaining a constant column and detector temperature is vital for improving baseline stability, reducing drift, and significantly enhancing overall analytical accuracy and reproducibility.
• Gas–Liquid Separator: To maintain a stable detector signal and prevent common chromatographic issues, an integrated gas–liquid separator efficiently and continuously removes micro-bubbles or dissolved gases from the mobile phase before they reach the detector. This crucial step ensures a stable and low-noise baseline, maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio for reliable trace analysis.
• Built-In Peristaltic Pump for Maintenance: The inclusion of a dedicated, built-in peristaltic pump streamlines routine maintenance. It specifically supports automated, post-analysis flushing routines, which are essential for removing residual reagents and improving the long-term cleanliness and stability of the entire flow system, extending component lifespan.

Advanced Maintenance and Control:

• Self-Regenerating Suppressor Technology: The system features advanced electrolytic micro-membrane suppressor technology. This innovation significantly enhances the sensitivity of the conductivity detection while simultaneously offering a self-regenerating capability. This eliminates the need for external regenerant solutions and tedious manual regeneration steps, dramatically reducing operational costs and maintenance requirements.
• Intelligent Integrated Workstation: The Toron-IC™ 100 is controlled via a centralized, intuitive workstation. This intelligent platform provides a unified control interface for system management, supporting critical functions such as automated startup, shutdown, and detailed maintenance logging. Furthermore, the workstation is designed for multi-instrument compatibility, allowing users to manage and monitor multiple IC systems from a single, integrated platform.
