In GEAL, we have a newly installed ThermoFisher Scientific Dionex ICS-6000 Ion Chromatograph. The ICS-6000 is a dual pump system that is currently setup to analyze Cation and Anions. The dual pump system can analyze both cations and anions simultaneously from one sample. The Anion pump is a gradient pump that can mix 4 different mobile phases per pump in a precisely controlled manner. The system can be changed to fit a variety of requirements if user needs require.
Cost of Running Samples
The prices presume your samples cause no matrix issues(e.g. low/high pH, extractions, etc). If your samples require dilution, there will be a %10 surcharge. If you need expediated results, there will be a 50% surcharge. Samples take approximately 2-4 weeks, depending on what you want anaylzed and lab workload.
| Analysis | Method | Price per sample (Lab tech run) | Per sample (student run) |
| Major Anions(NH4–, Fl–, Cl–, NO3–, Br–, PO3–, SO4– | Ion Chromatography | $15 | $10 |
| NO2– | Ion Chromatography | $15 | $10 |
