Prominence HIC-SP
Shimadzu's suppressor-type ion chromatograph achieves even greater sensitivity.

Ultrahigh, g/L-Level Sensitivity

Combining with the latest type of auto-suppressor enhances the performance of the ion chromatograph even further, enabling ultrahighsensitivity ion analysis with, for example, a detection limit (S/N=3) of 0.25 g/L for chlorine anions.

Easy-Maintenance Specifications No Regeneration Step Required

A column-type suppressor cartridge is used. Electrochemical regeneration is performed automatically with every analysis so that a chemical regenerant is not required. This simplicity ensures superior performance and minimal maintenance.

Superior Operability
Each module is controlled centrally at the system controller, making it possible to obtain highly reliable analysis results. Using an LCsolution PC workstation can make operation even easier.

HIC-20A Super
The secret of high precision lies in the suppressor package.
The HIC-20A Super suppressor package consists of the CDD-10ASP conductivity detector, a suppressor cartridge, and a column oven. The suppressor cartridge and detector cell are housed in the column oven and are regulated at a constant temperature with dual temperature controls.

The suppressor function can be enabled and disabled by the software. This means that suppressor operation and non-suppressor operation can be performed with the same system.

Prominence HIC-NS
Shimadzu's non-suppressor-type ion chromatograph offers both simplicity and performance.

Non-suppressor Operation Ensures Greater Flexibility

There are no limitations on mobile-phase conditions, such as types of competing ions and pH values. Selection and adjustment can be performed in accordance with the sample and target components. The degree of freedom offered by non-suppressor method enables various types of ion analysis. Another advantage is that there is no external column peak broadening.

Modules Capable of High Performance

This system optimizes the Prominence-series modules of which Shimadzu is justly proud. It is this that makes high sensitivity attainable with non-suppressor operation.

Superior Operability
In addition to the usual single-flow-line analysis system, the modules can be configured to create a dual-flow-line system that can simultaneously measure anions and cations. Expansion to a dual detection system incorporating post-column derivatization is also possible.

CDD-10AVP
The conductivity detector is at the heart of the system.
With the addition of an optional board, The CDD-10AVP conductivity detector can perform simultaneous 2-channel detection of anions and cations. In other words, the capability of two units is possible in the space required for just one. Adding a suppressor option to the unit enables expansion to a suppressor system.*
*Modification of the CTO-20AC is required.

The dual flow-line analysis system is an example of a system that uses non-suppressor operation to analyze both anions and cations. A printer is required separately.

If suppressor-type ion chromatography is used to analyze amines containing ammonium, the concentration and response are not proportional. Therefore the calibration curve is not linear. However, if the non-suppressor method is used a linear calibration curve is seen. The suppressor function can be enabled and disabled by the software. This means that suppressor operation and non-suppressor operation can be performed with the same system.
