System design and emerging hardware technology for ion chromatography

This review provides an overview of advances in system design for ion chromatography (IC), focusing on the suppressed conductivity detection mode. In particular, advances in automated mobile-phase generation and suppressor technology based on different electrolytic concepts are addressed and novel detection approaches are discussed. Finally, advances in multi-dimensional IC and aspects of miniaturization, including capillary IC instrumentation and chip-based IC, are discussed.
