columns I o n P a c AS and AS-H C Anion-E x c h a n g e C o l u m n s The IonPac AS anion-exchange column provides fast profiling of inorganic anions and organic acid anions using sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide gradient elution. The IonPac AS-HC is a high-capacity anion-exchange column with selectivity similar to the AS column. The AS-HC is designed to resolve a large number of organic acids and inorganic anions in complex matrices using sodium or potassium hydroxide gradient elution. The AS-HC is ideal for the determination of trace components and for profiling organic acids in uncharacterized samples. IonPac AS Features Using a hydroxide gradient of. to 3 mm sodium hydroxide, the AS column separates a large number of inorganic anions and organic acids in approximately min, as illustrated in Figures A and B. Peak broadening and overloading can occur when higher concentrations of analytes are injected onto the AS column, as shown in Figure A. These problems can be eliminated by diluting the sample before injection, as shown in Figure B. Conversely, the high-capacity AS-HC column allows more concentrated samples to be directly injected without overloading the column or affecting peak shape, as illustrated in Figure C. The AS also provides rapid elution of strongly retained ions such as iodide, thiocyanate, and thiosulfate in complex matrices. IonPac AS-HC Features The high-capacity AS-HC column allows the injection of more concentrated samples without overloading and peak broadening. The AS HC provides improved separation over the AS column for monovalent carboxylic acids, including quinate, lactate, acetate, propionate, formate, and butyrate. A wide range of organic acids and inorganic anions can be separated in approximately min using a sodium hydroxide gradient at a controlled temperature of 3 C, as illustrated in Figure C. Passion. Power. Productivity.

Key Applications The AS and AS-HC columns are solvent-compatible, which allows for anion-exchange selectivity control and easy column cleanup after the analysis of complex matrices. Typical applications include the determination of organic acids and inorganic anions in diverse sample matrices including: Fruit juices and wines Foods and beverages Fermentation and process solutions Chemical additives Chemical process solutions Wastewater Brines Power plant waters Economical Microbore Operation The IonPac AS and AS-HC columns are available in the -mm format for microbore operation to offer the advantage of reduced operating costs. Ideal for limited sample volumes due to higher mass sensitivity. Three- to fourfold reduction in eluent consumption. -mm applications can be directly transferred to the -mm format by reducing flow rate by fourfold.

Comparison of the AS and AS-HC columns for the separation of a wide range of organic acids and inorganic anions using sodium hydroxide gradient elution. The highcapacity AS-HC provides excellent peak shape for early-eluting anions.

High-Efficiency Particle Structure The IonPac AS and AS-HC column packings have unique structures composed of a highly crosslinked core and a MicroBead anion-exchange layer attached to the surface, as shown in Figures and 3. The substrate for the IonPac AS is a -µm diameter microporous resin bead. The AS-HC column substrate is a -µm diameter macroporous resin bead. Both columns are composed of ethylvinylbenzene crosslinked with % divinylbenzene. The anion-exchange layer is functionalized with quaternary ammonium groups. This anion-exchange layer has a controlled thickness, which results in excellent mass-transfer characteristics and, consequently, very high efficiency peaks. Solvent-Compatible Packing Because the IonPac AS and AS-HC columns are % HPLC solvent compatible, organic solvents can be used for efficient column cleanup or to enhance sample solubility. Time and expense can be saved through the elimination of time-consuming sample preparation steps. This feature allows complex matrices to be analyzed with minimal sample preparation and extends the utility of the column to new applications requiring solvents. Adding organic solvents to the eluent modifies column selectivity and enables the elution of nonpolar analytes or contaminants from the column.

Structure of an IonPac AS-HC packing particle. IonPac AS Column for Fast Gradient Profile of Organic Acid Anions The IonPac AS column provides fast profiling of organic acids and inorganic anions using sodium or potassium hydroxide gradient elution. The AS column is ideal for the determination of organic acids and inorganic anions at similar concentrations or organic acids in well-characterized samples. Mono-, di-, and trivalent organic acids as well as inorganic anions can be separated in approximately min using a sodium or potassium hydroxide gradient. Highly Crosslinked Core -nm Diameter MicroBeads Anion-Exchange Latex Coating Highly Crosslinked Core -nm Diameter MicroBeads Determination of Short-Chain Organic Acids Weakly retained organic acids and inorganic anions commonly encountered in the food, beverage, biopharmaceutical, chemical, and power industries can be determined in a single run using the AS-HC column. Resolution of monovalent organic acids and improved peak shape are two benefits of the high capacity of the AS-HC.

Increased Flexibility for Methods Development The solvent compatibility of the IonPac AS and AS-HC columns permits the use of HPLC organic solvents in the eluent to modify ionexchange selectivity. Both hydroxide concentration gradients and organic solvent gradients combined with elevated temperature can be used to achieve optimum resolution of closely eluting analyte pairs. The retention of the more hydrophobic member of the unresolved pair is decreased more by the addition of solvent, which improves resolution. Figure illustrates the effect of solvent on selectivity of monovalent and divalent organic acids on the AS and AS-HC columns. The AS and AS-HC columns can be operated at ambient or elevated temperatures. The use of a controlled column temperature ensures reproducible results. IonPac AS-HC for Monovalent and Divalent Organic Anions The AS-HC column provides improved separation of monovalent and divalent organic acids and inorganic anions using a sodium or potassium hydroxide gradient at a controlled temperature of 3 ºC. Because higher eluent concentrations can be used to separate monovalent anions, the higher capacity allows injection of more concentrated samples without overloading and provides improved peak shapes for monovalent organic acids in complex matrices, as illustrated in Figure.

IonPac AS-HC for Trace Inorganic and Organic Acid Anions Using a Large-Loop Injection The high-capacity AS-HC allows large injections of high ionic strength samples without loss of peak efficiencies and eliminates the need for sample dilution. High capacity allows for the determination of trace inorganic anions and organic acids using a largeloop injection. Figure illustrates the separation of inorganic anions and organic acids using a large-loop injection with a sodium hydroxide gradient at a controlled temperature of 3 ºC. Low ppb levels of these analytes can easily be determined using a. ml injection loop on a -mm microbore system. Determination of Carboxylic Acids in Complex Matrices The AS-HC column can be used to monitor the organic acid and inorganic anion content in the quality control of foods, wines, and beverages. The high capacity of the AS-HC makes it an ideal column for the analysis of organic acids and inorganic anions in complex matrices. Samples high in ionic strength can be directly injected onto the AS-HC and do not cause overloading problems or poor peak shapes for monovalent organic acids (e.g., lactate, acetate, propionate, formate, and butyrate). Figure compares the AS and the AS-HC columns for the analysis of beer. The AS-HC column shows improved peak shapes for the monovalent organic acids. Butyrate is an important indicator of deterioration of foods and beverages and can be easily separated from formate on the AS-HC column with a sodium hydroxide gradient/methanol gradient step change. 3 Figure.

Figures and illustrate the separation of organic acids and inorganic anions in red wine and apple juice using the AS-HC column. The AS-HC column provides improved resolution over the AS column for components with widely varying concentration ratios. The AS-HC column resolves succinate and malate, even at very different concentrations, as shown in Figure. IonPac AS-HC for Organic Acids and Inorganic Anions in Fermentation Broths Monitoring fermentation broths is necessary for process control, because many ingredients resulting from metabolic processes affect yield or quality of the desired fermentation products. Inorganic anions maintain osmolarity and provide co-factors for biosynthesis. Certain organic acids are waste products, and their accumulation inhibits cell growth or product yields. Figure.

The high capacity of the AS-HC column allows for the determination of a number of inorganic anions and organic acids in fermentation broths. Figure illustrates the separation of common fermentation broth anions using the IonPac AS-HC column with a sodium hydroxide gradient at a controlled temperature of 3 C. Gradient Separations as Simple as Isocratic Runs with the EG Eluent Generator The EG Eluent Generator produces high-purity potassium hydroxide eluent electrolytically, eliminating the need for eluent preparation. Only a source of deionized water is required. The potassium hydroxide eluent produced is free of carbonate contamination. The use of carbonate-free hydroxide eluents minimizes baseline shifts during hydroxide gradients which provides greater retention time reproducibility, lower background conductivity, and lower detection limits for target analytes. Figure illustrates the gradient separation of inorganic anions and organic acids in grape juice on an IonPac AS-HC using a potassium hydroxide gradient delivered by an EG Eluent Generator. Inj.

Figure illustrates the use of the IonPac AS column with the EG Eluent Generator for an application of interest to the food industry, determination of sorbate, a sweetener used in cake frosting. In this example, a potassium hydroxide gradient is used to elute sorbate in less than min and also resolve other inorganic anions and organic acids present in cake frosting.

Monitoring chemical reagents for anionic impurities is important because the anionic contaminants can cause corrosion when present in manufacturing solutions. A method has been developed using the AS column to determine inorganic anions in stabilized hydrogen peroxide. Figure illustrates the separation of the anionic contaminants in hydrogen peroxide using a large-loop injection with a sodium hydroxide gradient. AS-HC for Trace Anions in Methanesulfonic Acid Monitoring anionic contaminants in chemical reagents is an important quality control function for specialty chemical manufacturers. The high- capacity AS-HC column is ideal for determining trace anions in concentrated acids. Figure illustrates the separation of trace chloride and sulfate in concentrated methanesulfonic acid using the AS-HC column. Chloride and sulfate can easily be determined down to the low ppb level with good peak shape even in the presence of high concentrations of methanesulfonic acid. Figure.

AS Column for Polarizable Anions The AS column separates polarizable anions in complex matrices. As shown in Figure, for highly retained hydrophobic anions such as iodide, perchlorate, thiosulfate, and thiocyanate, retention times can be significantly decreased and peak efficiencies improved by using eluents containing organic solvents. This approach is ideal for the determination of iodide, perchlorate, thiocyanate, and thiosulfate. The IonPac AS is recommended for this separation without the use of solvents in the eluent. AS Column for Highly Charged Anions The determination of highly charged anions such as polyphosphates or polycarboxylates is possible using gradient elution on a mm or -mm IonPac AS. As shown in Figure, the high hydroxide selectivity on the IonPac AS resin permits elution of these ions at lower hydroxide concentrations than are possible on the OmniPac PAX-, permitting the use of either -mm or mm columns. The IonPac AS column is ideal for the determination of polyphosphates, polycarboxylates, and polysulfonates. 3 IonPac AS, mm Figure.

Ordering Information For optimum ease-of-use and economy, the IonPac AS and AS HC columns should be used with the ASRS Anion Self-Regenerating Suppressor. When performing sodium hydroxide gradient anion-exchange applications on the AS and AS HC, an Anion Trap Column (ATC-3) should be installed between the gradient pump and the injection valve to remove anionic contaminants from the eluent. The EG Eluent Generator is used to automatically produce potassium hydroxide gradients using a deionized water source. When using the EG Eluent Generator for trace anion determinations, the ATC-HC column should be installed between the pump outlet and the inlet of the EluGen cartridge. For -mm concentrator work, use the appropriate guard (IonPac AG or AG-HC) or TAC Concentrator column when a single piston pump such as the DQP or DXP pump is used for sample delivery. Use the TAC-LP Concentrator column when the sample is delivered with a syringe or with an autosampler such as the AS or AS. For mm concentrator work, use the appropriate guard (IonPac AG or AG-HC) when a single piston pump such as the DQP or DXP pump is used for sample delivery.
