Stable baselines and quality, noise-free separations are the result of MMS 300 suppression, a low dispersion heated cell,

and the proven high-speed dual-piston PEEK pumping system. Peak areas and retention times are

highly reproducible, as demonstrated in these overlays of anion determinations (n=20).
