I added some diagrams that I created with inkscape for a presentation. I admit that they are oversimplified but I feel they get basics across. Feel free to put them in line. I'm pretty new to this but it is my intent that these images are free for personal use.


I added in a screenshot of a chromatogram (from a separation simulator program) a while ago. Today I put in a brief history of IEC and IC and also a link to the standard text on IC by Joachim Weiss. I also removed the "High Performance" descriptor on the image of the IC instrument as usually this is instead reserved for describing HPLC.Daviddamoore 17:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I added back in the reference to the "Ion Chromatography Handbook" as it is recognized as the definitive literature on the subject. I took out the Amazon link though, and added in the ISBN reference instead. I also added in a picture of another IC workstation that shows some of the magic that goes on behind the door covers! It also shows up a bit better on the thumbnail than the first picture.Daviddamoore 23:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I changed the picture in the summary box to the other picture of an IC system as this shows the detailed components within. I also changed the acronym to "IC", and corrected the list of IC manufacturers. Note that Phenomenex only makes columns for IC, not instrumentation. Daviddamoore 17:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

The descriptions and examples on this page seem only to describe analytical ion chromatography, and not preparative / process-scale ion chromatography. Would anyone like to remedy this? Najork (talk) 23:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
