IonPac TCC-2 Trace Cation Concentrator Column

The IonPac® TCC-2 Trace Cation Concentrator Column is designed primarily for high-purity water analysis. The TCC-2 strips ions from a measured volume of aqueous sample matrix, concentrating the analyte species and lowering detection limits by 2–5 orders of magnitude. The TCC-2 is a surface-sulfonated, cation-exchange concentrator column with low void volume (approximately 50 µL). This concentrator column is ideal for use with sulfonated columns such as the CS3, CS10, and CS11 columns. The TCC-2 can also be used as a concentrator column for transition metals. The TCC-2 can be used with hydrochloric acid or diaminopropionic acid eluent.
