Trace Analysis Using Capillary Ion Chromatography Large-volume direct injection or pre-concentration A 10 µl injection onto a 0.4 mm ID column is equivalent to a 1000 µl injection onto a 4 mm I.D. column. Loading a 250 L sample onto a capillary concentrator can be accomplished with an AS autosampler in shorter time than loading a 25 ml sample onto a conventional concentrator with an AS-HV. Suitable for samples with low levels of matrix ions
