On-line IC/HPLC Analyzers, PITTCON BOOTH #4485
The Integral online process analyzer platform from Dionex offers sampling and sample preparation modules, optional industrial enclosures, and the latest Dionex Reagent-Free ion chromatography (RFIC) or HPLC technologies integrated into an online IC or HPLC process analysis solution. The integral migration path concept enables online IC or HPLC to be applied in the process analytical laboratory, in the pilot plant, or on the factory floor-wherever and whenever on-line IC or HPLC is needed. Integral can be configured to meet the needs of most chromatography applications. Instrument options include single- and dual-channel IC or HPLC systems that can be configured to increase sample throughput or to perform complimentary analyses for increased information, RFIC systems for just-add-water convenience, or UHPLC systems for high-resolution HPLC analyses.

Ultrapure Water System, PITTCON BOOTH #3621
Using carbon-resin technology, the arium 611 is capable of producing 18.2 M x cm with total organic carbon (TOC) levels as low as < 1 ppb at up to 2 L/min in a compact user friendly design that has eliminated the need for a service contract. Different cartridge packs are available to meet specific feed water quality (RO, Dl, distilled water, tap water) and application requirements. Every unit of the arium 611 family includes sterile end filtration with a Sartopore capsule with a 0.2 µm PESU membrane, validated in compliance with HIMA and ASTM F-838-83 guidelines. With four different types of systems to choose from, the arium 611 is able to meet the most stringent demands for ultrapure water in the laboratory.
