IC Sample Preparation
Remove interfering substances from your sample for ion chromatography analysis
Need to remove matrix interferences such as phenolics, metals, cations, anions, or hydrophobic substances that interfere with your ion chromatography (IC) applications? Here is an array of automated (inline) and benchtop (offline) solutions. These solutions contain resins that are specific for removing the substance interfering with your IC analysis.

Dionex Guardcap Vial Caps
Thermo Scientific Dionex Guardcap Vial Caps work with 5mL Dionex PolyVials in the Dionex AS-DV autosampler to provide an automated inline sample preparation and filtration solution. The Dionex AS-DV holds 50 vials that can be sampled in any order, and programmed to take multiple samples from each vial. The vial design eliminates the need for an external sampling pump. Three versions of the vial caps are currently available:
Dionex Guardcap H Vial Caps
Thermo Scientific Dionex Guardcap H vial caps are embedded with Dionex OnGuard H resin to automatically remove alkaline earth and transition metals, neutralize high pH samples, and filter particulates.
Dionex Guardcap Na Vial Caps
Thermo Scientific Dionex Guardcap Na vial caps are embedded with Dionex OnGuard Na resin to automatically remove alkaline earth and transition metals and filter particulates without changing the sample pH. Since sample pH remains unchanged, Dionex Guardcap Na vial caps are ideal for treating samples that contain pH-sensitive analytes (e.g., nitrite).
Dionex Guardcap HRP Vial Caps
Thermo Scientific Dionex Guardcap HRP vial caps are embedded with hydrophilic reversed phase resin to remove particulates and hydrophobic organic substances including non-ionic surfactants, hydrocarbons, aromatic dyes, and protonated carboxylic acids.
Dionex Guardcap AEX Vial Caps
Thermo Scientific Dionex Guardcap AEX vial caps are embedded with anion-exchange resin in borate form to automatically remove anions, neutralize acidic samples, and filter particulates.
