Ion Chromatography: Revving up for a Greener Future
To bring attention to the need for alternative biofuels, the National Biodiesel Board (NBB) has a new tool to drive education efforts inAmerica. NBB member, CIMAGreen, partnered with Paul Teutel Sr. and Orange County Choppers to craft a high-performance diesel motorcycle that they then donated to the NBB as a promotional resource. “People are drawn […]
Quality Control Testing Method: Ion Chromatography
Often, manufacturing isn’t finished when a product leaves the production line. Many products – for example, biomedical devices, electronics, and plastics– still have to be tested for cleanliness and contamination. And, sometimes, ion chromatography is the only technique that affords the necessary quantitative ionic cleanliness analysis. Ion chromatography (IC), also called ion exchange chromatography, is […]
Ion Chromatography Application: Product Cleanliness Testing
Testing the cleanliness of a product after the manufacturing process is critical. Confirming a product is free from ionic contaminants insures quality and leads to fewer failures when products ship out to market. To guarantee the ionic cleanliness of products after manufacturing, a process called Ion Chromatography can be employed. The IC analysis process measures […]
