2.15.2 Suppressor
The suppressor reduces the eluent conductivity and enhances the
conductivity of the sample ions, thereby increasing detection sensitivity.
The CD can operate with an AES, SRS 300, SRS ULTRA II, MMS 300,
or MMS III suppressor.
The suppressor is installed below the cell on the CD (see Figure 2-19
).
The suppressor cable plugs into the connector next to the detector (on
either the left or the right side, depending on which side the CD is
installed) (see Figure 2-20
).
NOTE It is also possible to control a suppressor with an
ICS-3000 Electrochemical Detector (ED). Tabs for
installing the suppressor are provided on the front
of the DC (next to the ED). The cable connection is
the same as for the CD.
For details about any of the suppressors, including guidelines for
selecting a suppressor for your application, refer to the suppressor
manuals. The manuals are on the Dionex Reference Library CD-ROM
(P/N 053891).
NOTE A gas separator waste tube (P/N 045460) should be
connected to the suppressor waste line during
installation to prevent accumulation of oxygen or
hydrogen gasses. For details, refer to the ICS-3000
Ion Chromatography System Installation Instructions
(Document No. 065032).
