1) Basic Information
| Product | IC Pre-treatment Cartridges |
| Sorbent Phase | RP, C18, H, Na, Ag, Ba |
| Application | sample preparation in analytical, environmental, food, and pharmaceutical laboratories. |
2） Product Overview
QC-IC series IC pre-treatment cartridges are dedicated solid-phase purification cartridges for ion chromatography, adopting ion exchange, reversed-phase adsorption and precipitation chelation technologies to eliminate matrix interferences. They act as the front protection for IC analytical columns, removing hydrophobic organics, halide ions, sulfate, heavy metals and high-concentration cations to avoid column fouling, peak distortion and high baseline noise, ensuring accurate trace ion detection in environmental, food, pharmaceutical and industrial samples.
3） Key Features
- Diversified stationary phases including RP, C18, H, Na, Ag, Ba and composite resins for targeted impurity removal.
- Wide pH tolerance, stable under high-salt, strong acid & alkaline conditions, ultra-low IC extractables.
- High-purity polypropylene housing with leak-free luer lock fittings, 1 cc & 2.5 cc standard specifications.
- Simple operation, compatible with syringes and vacuum SPE manifolds; composite cartridges avoid manual serial connection.
- Effectively extend service life of expensive IC separation columns and reduce long-term lab costs.
4） Applications
- Environmental testing: Surface water, wastewater, soil leachate, atmospheric precipitation anion & cation analysis.
- Food safety: Fruit, grain, beverage and animal food extracts purification for nitrite, organic acid detection.
- Biomedical & clinical test: Urine, serum, cell culture fluid and pharmaceutical pure water analysis.
- Chemical & semiconductor industry: Electroplating liquid, electrolyte and high-purity reagent trace ion screening.
- Third-party testing labs: High-throughput sample pretreatment compliant with national and international standard methods.
