Connecting the separation column
The intelligent separation column (iColumn) is the heart of the ion chro-
matographic analysis. It separates different components according to their
interactions with the column. Metrohm separation columns are equipped
with a chip where their technical specifications and history (start-up, oper-
ating hours, etc) are stored.
NOTE
Information regarding which separation column is suitable for your
application can be found in the Metrohm IC Column Program, the

able from Metrohm in the Metrohm IC Column Program or on the Inter-

umn. You can find detailed information on special IC applications in the
corresponding "Application Bulletins" or "Application Notes", which
