850 Professional IC – Anion
Conductivity detector
The conductivity detector continuously measures the conductivity of the
liquid passing through and indicates these signals in digital form (DSP –
Digital Signal Processing). The conductivity detector exhibits outstanding
thermal stability and thus guarantees reproducible measuring conditions.
Separation column
The intelligent separation column is the heart of the ion chromatographic
analysis. It separates the different components corresponding to their
interactions with the column. The Metrohm analytical columns are equip-
ped with a chip on which their technical specifications and their history
(first use / setting up, operating hours, injections, ... ) are saved.
1.2 Intended use
The instrument 850 Professional IC – Anion is used for the ion chroma-
tographic determination of anions or polar substances with chemical sup-
pression by the Metrohm Suppressor Module (MSM) (see Chapter 2.16,
page 46).
If required, it can also be used for the determination of cations or anions
without chemical suppression.
The present instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable
samples. The usage of the 850 Professional IC – Anion therefore requires
that the user has basic knowledge and experience in the handling of toxic
and caustic substances. Knowledge with respect to the application of the
fire prevention measures prescribed for laboratories is also mandatory.
