Metrohm released the 850 Professional IC and 858 Sample Processor last year, the first IC instruments to contain intelligence as standard within the hardware and software MagIC Net.
Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation (MISP) techniques have now been incorporated into the Professional IC range.
Intelligent Dosino liquid handling, new accessories and the MagIC Net software allow logical decisions and simplified time programs.
Once a representative sample is placed on the sample rack, the whole procedure is automated, minimising manual handling steps, saving time and money and improving the precision and reliability of results.
Once a procedure is automated it improves the sample throughput and allows the IC to work during occasions when the lab is unmanned.
Ultra-filtration and dialysis protects the analytical column from moderately and heavily loaded samples, without requiring manual filtration.
Metrohm Inline Matrix Elimination allows alkaline or acidic samples, which often mask peaks of interest, to be neutralised, allowing the user to obtain a clean chromatogram for evaluation.
Metrohm Inline Pre-concentration and Inline Calibration allow detection limits approaching single figure ng l-1 to be realised, essential in the fine chemical, power or semi conductor industries.
Dosino liquid handling allows fast and accurate transfer of sample and standards with a resolution down to 1ul.
The use of buffer tubing and external rinsing stations for the autosampler needle prevents cross contamination.
The option to use custom racks on the autosampler and use sample containers directly, prevents handling contamination.
