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.

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.

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

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.

Maxi-Clean™ Cartridges to Adjust Sample pH
•Baseline disturbances and/or system peaks result when sample pH differs from eluant pH.
•Strong anion exchange resin in the hydroxide form removes anions and neutralizes an acidic sample.
•Cation exchange resin in the hydrogen form removes cations and neutralizes an alkaline sample.
