MagIC Net is the controlling interface for the range of Intelligent Ion Chromatography (IC) instruments from Metrohm.
It enables easy and intuitive operation through clear symbols and a well-arranged layout that monitors all the components and accessories associated with the IC hardware for seamless, uncomplicated operation.
MagIC Net is an integral part of Intelligent IC and allows logical decisions to be performed - for example automatic inline sample dilution - and monitors all the intelligent system components (i-Pump, i-Column, i-Detector and intelligent dosing units) notifying the user, for example, when maintenance or service is required.
The intelligent hardware is equipped with a memory chip that stores device-specific data that can be accessed at any time using MagIC Net.
When the method is started, the parameters are checked ensuring accurate, reliable results.
MagIC Net includes comprehensive control and monitoring functions.
The control functions graphically display the data while the monitoring limits trigger a predefined alarm that can send an email or turn off the IC, for example, in the event of a method violation.
Expiry date and exchange intervals can be set for factors such as validity of calibration graph, lifetime of eluents and standards through to a maximum number of injections performed per column.
All the data generated goes into a database, from which it can be automatically exported into another application or into a LIMS system.
If a Dosino is added to the instrument, it is recognised automatically by the software and the smart wizard templates make writing methods intuitively simple.
Client server functionality enables a centralised data administration, allowing all determinations and methods to be stored and accessed by each station (depending upon allowed access privileges).
