Small to medium­sized laboratories on the other chromatography with the introduction of Compact IC hand benefit particularly from the 930 Compact IC Flex’ instruments. Nowadays these instruments dominate the excellent price­performance ratio and the system’s ease field in routine water and environmental analysis. They of use. are used for the investigation of drinking, surface, ground and waste waters. Furthermore, low detection limits also make the instruments in the 930 Compact IC Flex family an excellent However, the 930 Compact IC Flex was not developed choice for routine analysis in power plants with detection solely for these industries. Thanks to its great reliability, limits down to trace levels. And finally, the compact ion the system is perfectly suited for use in the pharmaceutichromatographs from Metrohm are not only suitable for cal industry, e.g. for analyzing infusion solutions.

The Combustion IC system shown can be used for differentiated determination of the halogens and sulfur in combustible samples, e.g. plastics, raw or end products in the petroleum industry, samples from waste management or electronic components. Fully automated analyses for more work efficiency and analysis reliability Automation saves time and money 05 The 930 Compact IC Flex offers completely automated operation. For liquid samples alone, there are six different autosamplers available in a total of 23 versions. The individual systems differ with respect to sample capacity, cooling, liquid handling functions and additional valve options. This means it is always possible to find the optimum automation tailored to meet your requirements. Intelligent injection techniques for an extended working range Apart from the full-loop and internal-loop injection, the 930 Compact IC Flex can also be combined with various intelligent injection techniques such as the «MiPT» (Metrohm intelligent Partial­Loop technique) and «MiPuT» (Metrohm intelligent Pick­up technique). The variable injection volume of MiPT covers a sample measuring range that extends across 4 orders of magnitude. This means that samples in the range of 10 µg/L to 100 mg/L can be analyzed with a single calibration. Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation («MISP»): More efficiency in routine operation and new fields of application The Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation techniques significantly expand the scope of application for ion chromatography. Inline Ultra filtration, Inline Dilution, Inline Dialysis or other techniques make even the most challenging samples manageable, such as suspensions or waste water samples that are loaded with proteins or extremely contaminated. The combination of Inline Dilution and Inline Ultrafiltration stands out here in particular as one of the most frequently used routine applications. Anion and cation determination with just one autosampler The 930 Compact IC Flex system allows simultaneous analysis of anions and cations down to the µg/L range. A setup of this kind is comprised of two Compact IC instruments sharing an autosampler. Together, they form a fully automated analysis system for processing sample series 24/7 determining a wide range of ionic components. 930 Compact IC Flex – the ideal partner for routine analysis 06 Professional Liquid Handling Maximum reliability A peristaltic pump and the patented 800 Dosino are The 930 Compact IC Flex excels by superior reliability. The available for transporting auxiliary solutions in sample system is self­monitoring, i.e. preparation, for transferring samples and for rinsing or • System components are immediately recognized regeneration procedures.

This reduces the need for main tenmanently ance and increases system reliability. • Measuring results are traceable to every single step of the analysis If a parameter exceeds a defined limit, the system automatically tells you so sending a message – in plain text. Operator errors that could theoretically cause damage to the separation column, for example, are thus virtually ruled out in practice. STREAM (Suppressor Treatment with Reused Eluent After Measuring) – the green way of suppression Whether sequential, chemical or without any suppression: You have freedom of choice with the 930 Compact IC Flex. The suitable rotor is selected depending on the application and the column dimensions: «MSM­HC», «MSM» or «MSM­LC». Each of these rotors fits in the trans parent suppressor housing. Due to their robust de sign, Metrohm grants a 10­year­manufacturer’s warranty on all anion suppressor rotors. All 930 Compact IC Flex versions with suppression are equipped with STREAM. In the STREAM setup, the suppressed eluent is used for rinsing the regenerated suppressor unit after the detection. This means no additional rinsing medium is necessary. Apart from that, the flow of regenerant can be reduced to a minimum. The benefits are less need of chemicals and less liquid waste. Furthermore, STREAM enables nonstop system operation for at least two weeks – or even longer than that with inline preparation of the regenerant. This saves on manual working steps, reduces maintenance and thus helps cutting running costs. Working continuously without manual intervention Combined with the 941 Eluent Production Module, the 07 930 Compact IC Flex integrates automated inline preparation of eluents of any composition and concentration. Perfect flexibility for the best application Connect an ultrapure water system (e.g.; ELGA PURELAB solution flex5/6) to the system and you may use conventional tap Each sample may require different sample preparation water for your ion chromatography. Automated inline and/or analysis. This is why the 930 Compact IC Flex eluent preparation ensures stable retention times, contaoffers a wide range of system components that can be mination­free working and saves manual working steps. selected to meet the particular purpose and requirements: with or without column oven; Dose­in Gradient; eluent and sample degasser; conductivity, UV/VIS or amperometric detection or a kind of inline sample preparation it may be – the optimum solution is available with the 930 Compact IC Flex. Moreover the 930 Compact IC Flex can be operated with any separation column, regardless of the base material, particle size or dimensions. MagIC Net – user-friendly software The instruments of the 930 Compact IC Flex series are controlled by the proven MagIC Net ion chromatography software. Freely configurable user windows, and graphic sym bols for the individual system components make the software simple and intuitive to use. MagIC Net is available in no fewer than 16 languages! Reliable results – automatically! A wide range of monitoring and control functions ensure highest reliability – of both the system itself and the quality of the results produced. Be it the number of injections on a separation column, a parameter exceeding defined tolerance limits for results or checking the calibration with a check standard – the 930 Compact IC Flex provides complete information. That’s not all: If required, the system intervenes and takes action automatically. For example, recalibration is carried out automatically if the check standard should fall outside the defined limits.
