Separation column
The intelligent separation column separates different components accord-
ing to their interactions with the column. Metrohm separation columns
are equipped with a chip where their technical specifications and history
(start-up, operating hours, etc) are stored.
1.2 Intended use
The 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/SeS/Deg is used for the determination of
anions or polar substances with sequential suppression using ion chroma-
tography.
Sequential suppression consists of:
￭ Chemical suppression with a Metrohm Suppressor Module (MSM) and
subsequent
￭ CO2 suppression with the Metrohm CO2 Suppressor (MCS).
Background conductivity is reduced to a minimum with sequential sup-
pression.
The instrument can also be used as needed for the determination of cati-
ons or anions without chemical suppression.
The present instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable
samples. Usage of the 930 Compact IC Flex therefore requires the user to
have basic knowledge and experience in handling toxic and caustic sub-
stances. Knowledge with respect to the application of the fire prevention
measures prescribed for laboratories is also mandatory.
