882 Compact IC plus – Anion – MCS
1.3 Intended use
The instrument 882 Compact IC plus – Anion – MCS is used for ion
chromatographic determination of anions or polar substances with
sequential suppression:
Sequential suppression consists of:
￭ Chemical suppression with the Metrohm Suppressor Module (MSM)
(see Chapter 3.14, page 45) and subsequent
￭ CO
2
suppression with the Metrohm CO
2
Suppressor (MCS) (see Chap-
ter 3.15, page 48).
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.
This instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable sam-
ples. The usage of the 882 Compact IC plus – Anion – MCS therefore
requires that the user has basic knowledge and experience in the handling
of toxic and caustic substances. Knowledge with respect to the applica-
tion of the fire prevention measures prescribed for laboratories is also
mandatory.
