Ion Chromatograph (IC) Introduced to WEM/SCE's Irrigation Laboratory
A new Ion Chromatograph (IC) was introduced on 4 April to WEM/SCE faculty, students and staff. The event was attended by Prof. Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai, Dean of SCE; Prof. Fumio Yamazaki; Prof. Ashim Das Gupta, WEM Program Coordinator.
The new IC equipment (Model DX-600, Manufactured by DIONEX, U.S.A.) -- valued more than US$50,000 -- was among other equipment donated by Government of Japan through the Japanese Equipment Grant (Special) to IREM Laboratory, WEM Program, SCE.
Under the guidance of Dr. Toshiaki Iida of the WEM Program, the new equipment will significantly improve chemical analysis capability in conducting student's research in water quality and soil problems.
Ion Chromatograph (IC) is free of interferences that plague wet chemistry and offers superior sensitivity, accuracy, and fast analysis. The new Ion Chromatograph (IC) equipment can be used to analyze simultaneously for the following 6 cations or 8 anions in water samples:
