1.1 Instrument description
The 896 Professional Detector – Conductivity & Amperometry is
an intelligent Stand-Alone Detector equipped with a high-performance
conductivity detector and an amperometric detector.
As a stand-alone detector, it can for example be combined with instru-
ments of the 850 Professional IC family for which all available detector
connectors have already been assigned to conductivity detectors (AnCat
systems or other multi-channel systems) and be used for the determina-
tion of electroactive substances in the mobile phase.
Multiple detector installations can be implemented with the 896 Professio-
nal Detector – Conductivity & Amperometry, even with the instruments of
the Compact IC family (881 and 882) and with the 883 Basic IC plus,
which possess only one detector connector which would normally be
occupied by a conductivity detector. Applications can thus be carried out
that require not only conductivity detection but also amperometric detec-
tion.
The 896 Professional Detector – Conductivity & Amperometry is a stand-
alone detector that combines the advantages of the IC Conductivity
Detector and the IC Amperometric Detector with the combination oppor-
tunities of the 850 Professional IC instruments. It is directly controlled by
the MagIC Net™ software.
872 Extension Modules, 891 Analog Out and 800 Dosinos, Remote Boxes,
etc. can all be operated through the 896 Professional Detector – Conduc-
tivity & Amperometry. This opens up the flexibility of Metrohm IC systems
considerably.
The instrument is comprised of the following modules:
Conductivity detector
The conductivity detector continuously measures the conductivity of the
liquid passing through and indicates the measured values in digital form
(DSP – Digital Signal Processing). The conductivity detector exhibits out-
standing thermal stability and thus guarantees reproducible measuring
conditions.
Amperometric detector
With the 896 Professional Detector – Conductivity & Amperometry, elec-
troactive substances can be determined in the mobile phase of an IC sys-
tem. Amperometric methods are used for the determination, which com-
