  1. Avoiding Matrix Interferences in Ion Chromatography Using Solid Phase Extraction Alltech Associates, Inc. Brandstraat 12, 9160 Lokeren Phone: 09 340 65 65 • Web Site: www.alltechweb.com

  2. Types of Sample Matrix Interferences in Ion Chromatography • Samples with components that will damage the column. • Samples that are too acidic for cation analysis. • Samples that are too basic for anion analysis. • Samples that contain high concentrations of interfering ions.

  3. Problems with Common Sample Preparation Techniques • Dilution and Filtration are not suitable when: • • The analytes are present at trace levels. • • The analytes differ greatly in concentration. • • Interfering compounds and analytes are both soluble.

  4. Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) Cartridges for Ion Chromatography • Stable from pH 2 to 13. • Low IC interference levels. • Requires only 2 - 3mL of samples.

  7. General Procedure for Using Maxi-Clean™ IC Cartridges • 1. Precondition the cartridge by passing 5-10mL of IC grade water (use 5mL of methanol followed by 5mL of Water for Maxi-Clean™ IC-RP). • 2. Load the sample at a rate of 1mL/min or less. (Adjust the sample size to use 50% or less of the device’s capacity). • 3. Discard the first 1mL eluate. • 4. Collect and analyze the remaining eluate.
