The Lab-Forward Trade-In Program
The world needs science to move faster. Now more than ever. Which is why when more scientists have access to the latest scientific instrumentation, we all benefit. That is the sole purpose of our Lab-Forward Trade-In Program. For a limited time, trade in your chromatography and mass spectrometry instruments and save!
The Disc-IC System is a package of two independent techniques from Thermo Fisher Scientific— discrete analysis and ion chromatography for comprehensive water analysis. Unique and fully automated, the Disc-IC System combines the power of direct measurement, discrete photometric analysis with ion chromatography to support a comprehensive water analysis workflow that offers the highest flexibility and sample throughput to reduce overall cost per analysis.
Gallery discrete analyzers are robust, easy-to-use, and provide parallel measurement of multiple analytes, including those used in photometric (colorimetric and enzymatic) and electrochemical (pH and conductivity) analysis. All necessary analysis steps are automated and low detection levels can be achieved.
Dionex IC systems can be tailored to meet specific anion and cation analysis needs, providing direct determination of multiple analytes in a single run, the highest sensitivity, and the ability to handle even the most challenging of water samples.
The Disc-IC System provides a true walkaway solution for comprehensive wine, beer, fruit juice, carbohydrates, organic acids, source water, process water, and waste water analysis and performs unattended large sample series analysis.

Traditional multiparameter water testing involves measurement, titration and ion chromatography methods for pH, conductivity, alkalinity, hardness, anions, and/or cations. Each test requires a separate sample and often multiple sequential steps which extends the testing time and makes the overall testing workflow complex. Multifaceted hyphenated systems need a specialist staff to run and monitor equipment, water quality testing is labor-intensive, time-consuming and inefficient. Routine water testing can be costly and time consuming for a laboratory that performs routine wet chemical and ion analysis in ground water, drinking water, sewage water and waste water analysis while experiencing increased demand for the routine analytical services.
Hyphenated techniques such as titration – Ion Chromatography methods are complex to set up, use, and maintain and covers only a limited number of parameters – pH, conductivity, alkalinity, hardness, anions or cations depending on the configuration. The Disc-IC Systems, two independent technologies, consolidate the majority of water analysis needs, increases lab’s throughput, produces reliable results, and reduces cost per analysis.
