Dionex Inuvion Core IC System

Dionex Inuvion Core IC System: Simple, intuitive ion analysis

Perform reliable, basic ion analysis while maintaining low operating costs with the Thermo Scientific Dionex Inuvion Core IC System. This instrument provides all the benefits of chemical suppression and high-pressure operation, with the ability to upgrade features to perform additional applications as your needs and budget allow. Built on the latest innovative technology, the Dionex Inuvion Core IC System is designed to maximize productivity and uptime, so you can be sure your ion analyses are producing high-quality, reliable results.

Highlights

Flexible, upgradeable system

As a part of the Dionex Inuvion platform, this instrument can be easily upgraded from the Dionex Inuvion Core to the Dionex Inuvion (with or without Reagent-Free IC capabilities) as your analysis needs change. User-installable accessories can be swapped in and out of the instrument in minutes for extended application capabilities.

Maximum productivity and performance

The Dionex Inuvion Core IC System is built with state-of-the-art pump technology and electronics for improved day-to-day reliability. System self-diagnostics also detect issues with hardware and consumables, giving you the confidence that it will be ready to run whenever you are.

Simple user experience

The smart, function-driven engineering of this ion chromatography system allows users to quickly and easily access all necessary components, connections and consumables without a stepstool or extra tools.

Fast and easy setup

With automated startup and shutdown routines, the Dionex Inuvion Core IC System is quickly ready to run samples with minimal delay or user intervention. Simple how-to videos built into the software reduce training time and simplify overall setup and operation.

High-pressure operation

The Dionex Inuvion Core IC System can operate at pressures up to 5,000 psi. This pressure allows the instrument to support a full range of high-performance 4 µm-particle-size Thermo Scientific Dionex IC columns for improved speed and quality of results.

Chromatography data system

The Dionex Inuvion Core IC System comes with the easy-to-use Thermo Scientific Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS). This CDS platform automates and optimizes daily tasks and helps even inexperienced users achieve consistent, high-quality results.
