2.896.0030 896 Professional Detector – Conductivity & Amperometry
bine an outstanding sensitivity with a high degree of selectivity. The instal-
led potentiostat generates the voltages for the direct current amperometry
(DC), for the pulse amperometry (PAD) and the flexible integrated pulse
amperometry (flexIPAD) as well as for the recording of cyclovoltammo-
grams. The installed preheating capillary ensures a constant eluent tem-
perature on the cell.
1.2 Intended use
The 896 Professional Detector – Conductivity & Amperometry is used as
an independent detector in an IC system. With its two different detector
types, it is used on the one hand for the precise measurement of conduc-
tivity during ion chromatography determination of anions and cations and
on the other hand for the determination of electroactive substances in the
mobile phase of an IC or general liquid chromatography system.
The present instrument is used for working with chemicals and flammable
samples. Usage of the 896 Professional Detector – Conductivity & Amper-
ometry therefore requires the user to have basic knowledge and experi-
ence 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.
