The IonPac^® CS14 is a moderate-capacity, cation-exchange column designed for the determination of aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, polyamines, and quaternary ammonium ions in diverse sample matrices, including chemical additives, chemical process solutions, scrubber solutions, plating baths, and wastewater. The CS17 column is the recommended column for hydrophobic and polyvalent amines.

• The CS14 column can be used for amine separations, including aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, and polyamines.
• The CS17 column is recommended for hydrophobic and polyvalent amines.
• The CS18 column is recommended for polar amines including alkanolamines and methylamines.
• The CS18 column can be used for moderately hydrophobic amines inlcuding biogenic amines and alkyldiamines.
• Sample matrices include environmental waters, power plant waters treated with ammonium, morpholine or ethanolamine, chemical additives, chemical process solutions, scrubber solutions, plating baths, and industrial solvents.

The CS14 column can be used with isocratic or gradient methanesulfonic acid or sulfuric acid eluents to resolve a variety of amines from the Group I and II cations. Solvent and elevated temperature may be required for efficient elution. Use the Cation Self-Regenerating Suppressor (CSRS^® ULTRA) with the CS14 column.
