Overview
The Thermo Scientific Dionex Easion is a compact, integrated isocratic ion chromatography (IC) system engineered for routine anion and cation analysis in quality control, environmental testing, and industrial process laboratories. Based on proven suppressed conductivity detection and dual-piston isocratic pumping architecture, the Easion delivers high reproducibility, low baseline noise, and robust separation performance without the complexity of gradient elution systems. Its PEEK™-lined fluidic path ensures chemical inertness across a broad pH range (0–14), minimizing metal leaching and column degradation—critical for trace-level analysis of inorganic ions such as fluoride, chloride, nitrate, sulfate, sodium, ammonium, and potassium. Designed for rapid deployment, the system achieves operational readiness within minutes of installation, supporting labs seeking validated, out-of-the-box IC capability without capital expenditure.
Key Features
- Dual-piston isocratic pump with pressure capability up to 35 MPa (5000 psi), delivering precise flow rates from 0.00 to 5.00 mL/min with ≤0.1% RSD over time
- Heated dual-electrode conductivity detector with microprocessor-controlled digital signal processing; adjustable sensitivity range: 0–10,000 µS/cm
- Integrated PEEK™ capillary and valve manifold—resistant to corrosion, compatible with strong eluents (e.g., NaOH, methanesulfonic acid)
- Pre-configured analytical and guard column set: IonPac AS22 (4 × 250 mm) + AG22 (4 × 50 mm), optimized for high-resolution separation of common inorganic anions
- Built-in autosampler with programmable injection volume (1–100 µL), sample cooling (4–40 °C), and vial capacity up to 120 positions
- Comprehensive software suite (Chromeleon CDS v7.3 or later) supporting method development, sequence management, calibration curve generation, and audit-trail-enabled data handling compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The Dionex Easion supports aqueous samples across diverse matrices—including drinking water, wastewater, semiconductor rinse water, pharmaceutical excipients, and food extracts—following established regulatory protocols. It meets key international standards including ASTM D4327 (anion analysis in water), ISO 10304-1 (determination of dissolved anions by liquid chromatography), and USP <645> (conductivity of purified water). All hardware and firmware are validated per GLP/GMP principles; instrument qualification documentation (IQ/OQ/PQ templates) is provided upon request. The system’s electronic records and signature functionality aligns with ALCOA+ data integrity criteria, ensuring traceability for regulatory submissions and internal audits.
Software & Data Management
Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS) serves as the unified platform for instrument control, data acquisition, processing, and reporting. Version 7.3 or higher enables secure user role assignment, electronic signatures, automated backup, and export to CSV, PDF, or LIMS-compatible formats. Audit trails log all method modifications, data reprocessing events, and user logins—retained for ≥18 months by default. Optional modules include PeakTrak for automated peak identification, Compliance Pack for enhanced 21 CFR Part 11 enforcement, and Remote Monitoring for real-time system health alerts via web dashboard.
Applications
- Environmental monitoring: Quantification of regulated anions (F⁻, Cl⁻, NO₂⁻, NO₃⁻, PO₄³⁻, SO₄²⁻) in surface water, groundwater, and effluent per EPA Methods 300.0 and 300.1
- Pharmaceutical QC: Testing of counterions in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients per ICH Q5C and USP monographs
- Food & beverage safety: Detection of preservatives (benzoate, sorbate), nitrites in cured meats, and sulfate in dairy products
- Electronics manufacturing: Ultra-trace chloride and fluoride analysis in ultrapure water used in wafer cleaning processes (ASTM F669)
- Academic research: Method development for novel ion-selective separations under controlled isocratic conditions
FAQ
What rental terms are available for the Dionex Easion system?
We offer three flexible models: Short-term lease (1–6 months), Lease-to-own (12–36 months with purchase option at fair market value), and Finance lease (36–60 months with title transfer upon final payment). All include full technical support, preventive maintenance, and consumables kits.
Is the system supplied with validated methods and SOPs?
Yes—each rental unit ships with pre-validated application notes for common matrices (e.g., drinking water, pharmaceutical buffers), along with editable SOP templates aligned with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.
Can the Easion be integrated into an existing LIMS environment?
Absolutely. Chromeleon supports standard LIMS interfaces via ODBC, HL7, and direct API integration. Custom mapping services are available during onboarding.
What happens if hardware requires service during the lease period?
All rentals include comprehensive warranty coverage and priority response SLAs—on-site technician dispatch within 2 business days for critical failures, backed by loaner unit availability.
Are training and method transfer support included?
Yes. We provide remote and on-site operator training (8 hours standard), plus up to 4 hours of application-specific method transfer assistance conducted by certified Thermo Fisher Application Scientists.
