High Sensitive Detection of Cations (YK-421)

Monovalent and divalent cation standards were analyzed using IC YK-421. Using a highly sensitive conductivity detector, cations whose concentrations are μg/L (=ppb) level can be detected. Minimum detection levels are shown in the table (S/N=3). The figures in parentheses are minimum concentrations when 100 μL of sample is injected.

Sample: 100 µL
