Optimize replacement parts for the Dionex ICS-3000 and ICS-5000

  • OPTI-MAX - Cartridge Check Valves are designed to offer maximum performance and ease of use. The ball travel distance with the check valve is minimized to offer quicker seating and more accurate pump metering
  • OPTI-MAX PEEK Check Valve Replacement Cartridges are available with ceramic and ruby/sapphire ball and seat combinations
  • OPTI-SEAL Piston and Wash Seals are designed to be more resistant to abrasion and wear than standard polyethylene seals and can last up to seven times longer under most aqueous conditions.
  • Each Optimize Sapphire Rod is specifically cut in relation to the grain of the crystal lattice, yielding maximal resistance to breakage and superior wear characteristics. Attachment of the rod to the piston ferrule is performed through a proprietary process ensuring concentricity. This is an important, often overlooked parameter that has a direct effect on seal life.
