Portable Ion Chromatograph – Quali-IC™ 80
The Quali-IC™ 80 Portable Ion Chromatograph is a compact, self-contained ion chromatography system built for field and on-site testing where full-scale laboratory instruments are not feasible. Designed for mobility without sacrificing performance, it integrates advanced analytical capability, rugged housing, and battery-powered functionality into one streamlined unit.
Equipped with conductivity detection, the system separates and measures anions and cations at trace levels, delivering dependable results across concentrations ranging from parts per billion (ppb) to parts per million (ppm). Metal-free PEEK flow paths help maintain chemical compatibility and sample integrity, while automatic signal range adjustment and stable pumping control ensure consistent, high-quality data. The Quali-IC™ 80 brings reliable, laboratory-level ion analysis directly to the point of sampling.
