872 Extension Module – Liquid handling
1.2 Intended use
With the 872 Extension Module – Liquid handling, an 850 Profes-
sional IC instrument can be extended to include a broad range of addi-
tional sample preparation possibilities without having to modify the instru-
ment in between. For example calibration, ion exchange, guard column
reactions or a combination of several of them.
The present instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable
samples. The usage of the 872 Extension Module therefore requires that
the user has basic knowledge and experience 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.
