Application note: Rapid Simultaneous Determination of Inorganic Anions and Cations in Drinking and Natural Waters by Ion Chromatography, Using Electrochemical Suppression from Sykam Germany

This application note, "Sykam AN10," outlines a method specifically developed to meet the demand for quick and reliable analysis of drinking and natural waters. It details the fast, simultaneous determination of inorganic anions and cations in water samples via ion chromatography (IC) using suppressed conductivity measurement. The method was validated in accordance with the requirements outlined in the aforementioned methods for anion and cation analysis, offering a cost-effective solution to comply with the testing standards of EPA 300.1, Revision 1.0[8], EN ISO 10304-1:2009-07[7], and ASTM D4327-17[9], as well as ASTM D6919[10] and EN ISO 14911[11], utilizing a Sykam S153+ Dual IC module. For method validation, the Sykam A09 (75 x 2.6 mm) and Sykam C08 (250 x 2.6 mm) columns were employed, and the validation results are discussed within this application note.
