Environmental waters: A new generation of high-capacity IC columns makes analysis more efficient
Compliance with IC methods US EPA 300.1 Parts A and B, ISO 10304 Parts 1 and 4, or US EPA 557 can make efficient monitoring of environmental waters a challenge. Selecting the right column technology is key, whether you are working with carbonate or hydroxide eluents.
In our upcoming webinar, we focus on a new generation of high-capacity anion exchange columns. We will show how innovative column chemistry enables lowest detection limits and improved robustness against complex matrices for fully compliant analysis of environmental waters.
Two complementary analytical strategies for the analysis of common anions and oxyhalides are presented in the webinar: The carbonate-based eluent approach with the new Metrosep A Supp 20 column and the hydroxide-selective approach with the Metrosep A Supp 21 column. Both strategies enable performing US EPA 300.1 Parts A and B and ISO 10304 Parts 1 and 4, respectively, in one single run.
We will also show how automated hydroxide eluent production provides for highly precise and reproducible analyses with ultra‑low baselines, supporting demanding applications such as the determination of haloacetic acids (HAA) according to US EPA 557.
