April 2010, Sunnyvale, CA-Dionex Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of new capabilities for fast isocratic andgradient separations of common inorganic anions and cations in standard, microbore, and capillary formats. The IonPac® family of anion- and cation-exchange columns-IonPac AS22-Fast (4 mm, 2 mm), IonPac CS12A-5μm (3 mm, 0.4 mm), IonPac AS18-Fast (0.4 mm)-are designed for fast, isocratic and gradient separations of the common inorganic anions and cations in sample matrices such as drinking water, surface water, and groundwater, using carbonate, methanesulfonic acid, and hydroxide eluents in under 5 minutes.

The IonSwift^TM MAX-100 (1 mm, 0.25 mm) column was developed using polymeric monolith technology that provides high speed, high-resolution separations for fast, gradient separations of organic acids and inorganic anions in a variety of sample matrices including food, beverage, and chemical samples.

This new family of columns is compatible with Dionex's award-winning Reagent-Free^TM Ion Chromatography (IC) technology and its complete IC product line including the newly introduced ICS-5000 Capillary IC system.
