The pump pushes the eluent and sample through the guard and 
separator columns (chemically-inert tubes packed with a polymeric 
resin). The guard column removes contaminants that might poison the 
separator column.
3. Separation
As the eluent and sample are pumped through the separator column, 
the sample ions are separated. In the ICS-2100, the mode of 
separation is called ion exchange. This is based on the premise that 
different sample ions migrate through the IC column at different rates, 
depending upon their interactions with the ion exchange sites.
4. Suppression
After the eluent and sample ions leave the column, they flow through 
a suppressor that selectively enhances detection of the sample ions 
while suppressing the conductivity of the eluent.
5. Detection
A conductivity cell measures the electrical conductance of the sample 
ions as they emerge from the suppressor and produces a signal based 
on a chemical or physical property of the analyte.
6. Data Analysis
The conductivity cell transmits the signal to a data collection system.
The data collection system (for the ICS-2100, this is the 
Chromeleon
®
 Chromatography Management System) identifies the 
ions based on retention time, and quantifies each analyte by 
integrating the peak area or peak height. The data is quantitated by 
comparing the sample peaks in a chromatogram to those produced 
from a standard solution. The results are displayed as a chromatogram 
and the concentrations of ionic analytes can be automatically 
determined and tabulated.
