Removes both carbonate from the sample as well as any CO2 formed during the suppression reaction, virtually eliminating the injection peak
The MCS removes both carbonate from the sample as well as any CO2 formed during the suppression reaction, virtually eliminating the injection peak while allowing the peak areas of the analyte ions to be considerably larger.
In addition, the interfering carbonate peak is effectively removed.
The principle is based on the gas permeability of Teflon AF.
The special system arrangement with built-in vacuum cell, Teflon AF membrane and CO2 absorber is controlled eg from the 861 Advanced Compact IC.
The MCS Metrohm CO2 Suppressor is available integrated into the 861 Advanced Compact IC (version 2.861.0040) or as a stand-alone suppressor.
It can be used to easily retrofit existing compact, modular, advanced and online Metrohm IC systems.
The CO2 Suppressor is installed between the MSM II and conductivity detector.
The vacuum pump of the MCS is controlled by remote commands and is equipped with an external power supply.
