Thermo Dionex Aquion RFIC 22176-60018 Ion Chromatography System for Basic Ion Analysis

The Thermo Dionex Aquion RFIC 22176-60018 is a reliable ion chromatography system engineered for precise and basic ion analysis in laboratory settings, supporting a wide range of applications including environmental monitoring, food safety testing, and academic research. This system features a chemically inert PEEK flow path that minimizes contamination, enhancing the durability essential in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows.

Key technical specifications include a serial dual-piston pump delivering flow rates from 0.01 to 5.0 mL/min and a maximum pressure capacity of 35 MPa (5000 psi), facilitating high-performance chromatographic separations. The system integrates a conductivity detector with digital signal processing, paired with a temperature-controlled conductivity cell to ensure sensitive and stable ion detection critical in bioprocessing and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

The Dionex Aquion also supports both electrolytic and chemical suppressors, enhancing its versatility for diverse ionic analyses. An electrically actuated PEEK 6-port Rheodyne injection valve complements its high-pressure pulse dampener for consistent flow and injection precision. This instrument is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and is essential for laboratories focusing on gene editing and synthetic biology applications requiring robust ion chromatography instrumentation.

Note: The system is offered in fair condition, with existing errors relating to CPU and heater controls that require repair. Ideal for labs with technical expertise to restore functionality for continued use in ion chromatography, especially within biotechnology research and clinical diagnostics domains.
