Method and apparatus are provided for electrochemically generating an acid or base eluent in an aqueous solution and for simultaneously suppressing conductivity of the eluent in an ion exchange bet (30) after chromatographic separation in an ion chromatography system. The suppressor and eluent generator includes a flow-through suppressor bed (30) of ion-exchange resin having an inlet (28) and an outlet section (34). An electrode chamber (14) adjacent the suppressor bed inlet section (28) includes a first electrode (17).

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 4, 1998 and granted August 13, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 4, 2018.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
