1.2 Intended use
The 850 Professional IC – AnCat – MCS is used for the ion chromato-
graphic determination of cations and anions. The two channels can be
operated in parallel or completely independently of one another. Sequen-
tial suppression can be used in the anion channel:
￭ Chemical suppression with the Metrohm Suppressor Module (MSM)
(see Chapter 2.16, page 47) and subsequent
￭ CO
2
suppression with the Metrohm CO
2
Suppressor (MCS) (see Chap-
ter 2.18, page 55).
The use of sequential suppression reduces background conductivity to a
minimum.
If required, the instrument can also be used for the determination of cati-
ons or anions without suppression.
