Automation for more reliability In ion chromatography, anions, cations, carbo hydrates, and polar substances are determined in a variety of matrices. Depending on the appli cation, solid, liquid, or gaseous samples need to be analyzed. Today, automation of IC analysis has become the standard. For good reasons: Automation reduces manual steps to a minimum providing for a better reproducibility and accuracy of the results. Automation solutions for ion chromatography by Metrohm are highly flexible. Sample volumes ranging from one microliter to half a liter can be handled without any problem. Even...

Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation techniques Crystal clear, clinically pure, free of particles − this is the description of an ideal sample for ion chromatography. But things are usually very different in real life. Various sample preparation steps are necessary in order to protect the separation column and the entire IC system from precipitation and blockages. Metrohm enables carrying out these sample pre paration steps inline in the course of the flow path, i.e., already during sample introduction. Unique techniques − some of them patented by Metrohm − are available. These techniques reduce...

Professional liquid handling guarantees correct results A scrupulous, contamination-free working method is fundamental for any liquid handling in ion chromatography. Moreover, particular attention must be paid to accuracy, and precision. In order to achieve this, Metrohm invented the 800 Dosino. This dosing system can aspirate liquids fast and dose them with extreme precision (with a resolution of 0.2 μL). Thus, the 800 Dosino guarantees flow and dosing or aspirating accuracy over a long period. It is exactly this accuracy that is required for optimal results in, e.g., single standard calibration...
