The Dionex AS-AP Autosampler with integrated Dionex AS-AP Sample Conductivity and pH Accessory in combination with Chromeleon software automates the process of determining the need for and then performing dilution of samples containing high levels of ions. Specifying a conductivity cutoff, above which a sample will be automatically diluted, prevents the overloading of IC columns and ensures that analyte concentrations are accurately determined, saving both time and reagents.
