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.
