The IonPac^® CS17 carboxylate-functionalized cation-exchange column is tailored for gradient separation of polyvalent and moderay hydrophobic amines, including biogenic amines and diamines, using simple aqueous eluents and elevated temperature （40 °C）. The CS17 is an excellent column for use with Reagent-Free^™ IC systems using Eluent Generation, which requires only a deionized water source to produce methanesulfonic acid eluent.

• For polyvalent and moderay hydrophobic amines including diamines and biogenic amines
• Optimized for simple acidic gradient applications with minimal baseline shift
• Ideal alternative for IonPac CS14 amine applications
• Improved peak shape without adding organic solvent to the eluents
• Compatible with organic solvents

The CS17 column is recommended for polar amines including alkanolamines and methylamines. It can also be used for moderay hydrophobic amines, including biogenic amines, alkyldiamines, and polyamines. 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 CS17 is also used extensively in the food industry.

The CS17 column offers improved peak shapes and efficiencies for IonPac CS14 amine applications. Solvent compatibility permits solvent use for elution of more hydrophobic amines and easy column cleanup after the analysis of complex sample matrices. Use the CS17 with Eluent Generation for simplified methanesulfonic acid eluent preparation.

Note: Use the Cation Self-Regenerating Suppressor （CSRS^® 300） with the CS17 column.
