Benefits
Why trade up to a new IC instrument?
You know the ins and outs of your lab’s workflow better than anyone else. More than likely, you have a running list of bottlenecks in your existing analytical workflow that you would like to work out. Perhaps you already know the way to accelerate your work is to upgrade to the latest technology or even switch vendors altogether. However, making that leap can seem like an enormous commitment. And yet, for every reason you may have to hang on to your current instruments, there is a list of reasons to trade up to the latest we have to offer. The following is just a glimpse of the benefits you can expect.
Take full advantage of the latest IC columns and consumables
- Meet current and future method requirements with a vast array of column chemistries and formats.
- Explore the potential of gradients with Reagent-Free Ion Chromatography (RFIC).
- Reduce run times using 4 µm particle columns in combination with a high-pressure IC (HPIC) system.
- Use eCommerce to order columns and consumables whenever and wherever it is convenient for you.
Greater accuracy, reproducibility, and robustness with Reagent-Free Ion Chromatography (RFIC)
- Remove variability in eluent preparation.
- Extend the lifetime and consistent performance of pump heads by only exposing them to Deionized (DI) water.
- Get reliable trace (ng/L) ion determinations using electrolytic suppression with RFIC for best signal to noise ratio.
- Use Viper fittings to consistently achieve minimal dead volume tubing connections for optimum chromatographic performance.
Faster run times for higher throughput
- Shorten run times and increase throughput combining the enhanced resolution of 4 µm columns with the higher back pressure capabilities of High Pressure IC (HPIC) systems.
Simplified operation that reduces training costs and saves time
- Avoid the labor and hazard of manual eluent preparation with high-purity RFIC.
- Eliminate suppressor regenerant preparation by recirculating suppressed eluent with electrolytic suppression.
- Reduce costly system setup errors by eliminating manual logging and track usage with consumables device monitoring.
Guaranteed access to the service, support and parts you need
- Comprehensive application and instrument support that includes in-person training and eLearning.

FAQs
The value of your current IC system will be evaluated by trained Thermo Fisher Scientific personnel based on type of instrument, age and condition. We’ll ask you some questions on the history of your system in order to provide an accurate estimate on its value.
Most IC systems are eligible for a trade-in credit. Eligible systems include, but are not limited to:
- Discontinued Thermo Scientific Dionex IC systems
- Other vendor systems
Please note that for modular IC systems, a pump must be included to qualify for a trade-in.
The value of the system traded in will be dependent on type, age and condition.
We are no longer removing used systems for the lab as part of the program. Your system will be used to determine eligibility and the credit value toward your new instrument purchase. You can then keep or dispose of your used system at your discretion.
We have your back on method transfer and training with specialized staff who can give you a helping hand. Do not hesitate to reach out to your local sales contact for details.
We will work with you to ensure that results with a new system will be equivalent to, and in many cases better than, what you are getting currently for your application.
These promotions are available to customers in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the USA, and unless otherwise stated on each product page. Other restrictions may apply.
