performed. For example, an ICS-900 configured for anion analyses
uses carbonate eluent, while an ICS-900 configured for cation
analyses uses methanesulfonic acid (MSA) eluent.
• Regenerant renews the suppressor’s ability to suppress eluent
conductivity. An ICS-900 configured for anion analyses uses dilute
sulfuric acid regenerant. An ICS-900 configured for cation analyses
uses tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH) regenerant. For more
information about suppressor regeneration, see Section 2.3.5
