Overview

What this instrument measures, and how it fits the range.

IC hope 1800 is an ion chromatograph in the IC Series, with a pressure range of 0-35 MPa and a flow accuracy of 0.1 %.

Key points

  • This is the latest integrated ion chromatograph with dual anion and cation channels.
  • 10-inch touchscreen display shows real-time parameters.
  • Built-in eluent generator electrolytically produces high-purity KOH and MAS eluents, eliminating manual preparation time and enabling gradient elution.
  • The dual anion and cation channel systems operate independently, preventing interference with each other and enabling simultaneous detection of both anions and cations.

Full specifications for this model are listed at the top of this page.

Accessories

Confirm these items before the final quotation. Accessories are listed only where the manufacturer offers them.

Standard accessories

Ask for an itemized quotation that separates standard items from options.

Optional accessories

  • Ion chromatography columns (Shodex, Alltech and other suppliers)
Specifications can depend on the selected configuration. Confirm the current datasheet, accessories and software version before purchase.

Common selection questions

Confirm requirements with our team before the final order.

Can one instrument run anions and cations?

Yes. It is a dual-channel system with separate anion and cation flow paths, so both can be analysed without swapping the column set. Listed anions include F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, NO₃⁻ and NO₂⁻; cations include Li⁺, Na⁺, NH₄⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺.

What detection limits should I expect?

The sheet quotes Cl⁻ ≤0.0005 µg/g, NO₃⁻ ≤0.005 µg/g, Na⁺ ≤0.0005 µg/g and Ca²⁺ ≤0.010 µg/g, with retention-time repeatability ≤1.0%. Limits in your own laboratory will depend on eluent, column and sample matrix.

Which eluents does the suppressor handle?

KOH, methanesulfonic acid and potassium carbonate, with a dynamic suppression capacity of 100 µeq/min, a suppression background of 0.6 µS/cm and a suppressor dead volume of 60 µL.
