The 883 Basic IC plus from Metrohm is the smallest IC in the company's portfolio, which has been specially developed for academia.
The instrument can also be used for routine applications in the water, food and chemical industries.
The Basic IC plus has the same intelligence that was introduced with the flagship 850 Professional IC two years ago and replaces the 790 Personal and 792 Basic IC.
Intelligence comes with the MagIC Net Basic controlling software, the Ipump, the Idetector and the Icolumn, the first columns for IC where the recommended parameters are imported directly into the working method.
The 883 Basic IC plus comes with anion suppression and the robust MSM chemical suppressor that offers a 10-year warranty.
The same anion instrument can perform cation or organic acid analysis with a change of mobile phase, column and method.
Intelligent Metrohm IC's have fast equilibration times and robust suppressors that are designed to be turned off when not in use and do not need to recycle reagents to enable fast start-up times.
It is possible to automate the 883 Basic IC plus with the 863 Compact Autosampler, which allows automation of up to 36 sample positions, the method is definable so any unused positions can be adopted as rinse stations if required.
The 883 Basic IC plus was developed primarily for routine work to meet analytical requirements in the mg/l ranges, but because the same quality Ipump, Idetector and MSM suppressor are used, sensitivities of sub 20ug/l for anions and 100ug/l cations can be obtained.
Metrohm said that the intelligent system components guarantee accurate and precise results and exclude nearly all operational errors.
