Anionic Surfactants by IC

[laurimc]

Has anyone successfully run anionic surfactants on IC? I've found a lot of information for running on HPLC and a little for IC, but I don't want to go buying a bunch of parts for my IC before confirming it is possible. Dionex hasn't been very helpful in figuring this out.

I have a Dionex ICS-2100. I was planning on getting the Acclaim PolarAdvantage II column and running with a suppressed conductivity detector.

Thanks!

Thermo released a surfactant column a year or two ago. Conductivity may not be your best bet for detection though.

I've seen ELSD/CAD data using their column. You might get away with something else. Just be mindful of the buffer used in your mobile phase.
