Dionex ICS-3000

The Dionex ICS-3000 is a used ion chromatography system designed for labs performing routine and advanced anion or cation analysis. It follows a modular dual channel architecture, meaning two chromatography methods can be run side by side, which is valuable for labs juggling multiple sample queues or comparing suppressed versus non suppressed conductivity detection on the same bench. The instrument was built to handle the demands of environmental testing, food and beverage analysis, and general analytical chemistry work where reliable ion separation is essential.\n\nThis system pairs eluent generation with conductivity detection to deliver consistent retention time reproducibility, reducing the manual prep work that older IC platforms required. Its compact dual pump design allows a single ICS-3000 to effectively function as two independent chromatographs, which many labs use to increase sample throughput without doubling their footprint or utility requirements. Common applications include monitoring anions like chloride, nitrate, and sulfate, as well as cations such as sodium, potassium, and ammonium in water and process samples.\n\nAs a used unit, this ICS-3000 will show cosmetic wear consistent with lab service but remains a dependable option for labs wanting proven Dionex ion chromatography performance at a lower acquisition cost than new. It is well suited for teams that already have Chromeleon software experience or those looking to standardize on Dionex hardware across multiple stations.
