ATS recently acquired a new Ion Chromatography (IC) unit and accompanying software to improve throughput and create more efficiencies for our clients. IC analysis is not new to ATS’s scope of testing capabilities – our team of skilled analyst have provided IC analysis to our clients for 25+ years. During that time ATS has worked with various industries including nuclear and electronics to identify corrosion and/or contamination on parts by utilizing IC analysis along with other analytical capabilities. IC analysis can also be used as part of a corrosion prevention strategy. Finished components can be tested for residual anions to ensure the production process limits the amount of potentially corrosive species. Methods frequently used for analysis are ASTM D4327 and IPC-TM-650. Please contact ATS today with your IC testing needs!
