Dionex Corporation is pleased to announce that the company has won a large tender order in Poland for 42 units of the Dionex ICS-1100 system. This tender was requested by the Polish Environmental Inspectorate, the largest and most important user of ion chromatography in Poland. Including the 42 new units, they will now own and use 76 Dionex IC instruments. The 42 new units will be used in environmental labs throughout Poland for the analysis of inorganic anions in water and air samples.

The tender order was won by AGA Analytical, our distributor for IC and ASE® products in Poland. According to the Polish Environmental Inspectorate, the Dionex tender won because of two reasons: a) technical advantages over our competitors, and b) our reasonable prices and the overall lower cost of ownership. The main technical advantages mentioned include the use of 2 mm microbore columns, self-regenerating membrane suppressors, and several key Chromeleon® Chromatography Data System features. In addition, the possibility of expanding the Dionex ICS-1100 system to use eluent regeneration for Always On, Always Ready operation was highly appreciated. We congratulate AGA Analytical for obtaining this large order for Dionex against the competition from other companies offering standard ion chromatography.
