details, refer to the EluGen cartridge manual. Cartridge manuals are
included on the Dionex Reference Library CD-ROM (P/N 053891).
EluGen Cartridge Holder
The EluGen cartridge is installed in a cartridge holder, which mounts on
the ICS-2100 top cover (see
Figure 2-7 ). The cartridge holder also houses
the high-pressure degas tubing assembly.
The ICS-2100 can control up to two EluGen cartridges. However, when
operating with an EGC II K

EluGen Cartridge and the pH Modifier,
only one cartridge can be installed, because the pH Modifier must be
connected to the other EGC power supply (
EGC-1 or EGC-2 ).
