Typical applications for ProfIC 2 include the analysis of samples containing interfering particles, algae or bacteria, for example drinking waters, effluent, extracts, digested solutions and juices
The Professional Ion Chromatography (IC) System from Metrohm is, it says, the first professional IC system with intelligent system components, the result of twenty years creative and innovative solutions to the field of IC from the technology leaders.
The Professional IC (ProfIC) 2 system for the fully automatic determination of anions with Metrohm inline ultrafiltration reliably and cost effectively removes particles from the sample to significantly increase the working life of the separation column in addition to saving time and money associated with the normally labour intensive use of syringe filters.
At the heart of the ProfIC system is the 850 Professional IC, 858 Professional Sample Processor and Magic Net software that can be operated in an intuitive fashion by both power and novice users alike.
The ProfIC systems benefit from a compact design with all the flexibility of a modular system that can be expanded at any point as analytical requirements or applications change.
The intelligent hardware components are monitored through the Magic Net software that observes the entire system and ensures that the control cards for calibration and samples are adhered to and documented in an FDA compliant form.
Should an important control parameter leave a predefined range than the laboratory user is informed by email.
Particular attention has been give to the long service interval of the ProfIC instruments and these can be observed by the MagIC Net software.
The ultrafiltration cell is directly mounted onto the sample processor and equipped with a membrane filter of pore size 0.15um as standard is suitable for samples containing a light to medium particle load.
As the sample is delivered continuously at a high flow rate this alleviates the formation of filter cake on the membrane and increases the working lifetime.
Swiss engineering enables confidence in the hardware demonstrated perfectly by the three year instrument warranty and ten suppressor warranty ensure low running costs in addition to the reasonable purchase price.
