Description
The 930 Compact IC Flex is Metrohm’s new ion chromatograph for routine analysis developed with a focus on the requirements of contract laboratories and QC laboratories in all kinds of industries. Rugged design, perfect ease of use and outstanding system reliability are key features of the 930 Compact IC Flex. Monitoring and control functions for system parameters, service intervals, calibrations, and results take the stress out of daily routine operation while ensuring high-quality measuring results even when things get hectic in the laboratory.
The new 930 Compact IC Flex system as its name says offers the highest possible degree of flexibility: You can choose from a complete range of separation columns, suppressors and detectors to configure a customized solution that meets your specific analytical requirements. If necessary, the 930 Compact IC Flex can also be fitted with a column oven as well as an eluent and sample degasser. It goes without saying that the unique Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation («MISP») techniques are available in the new system, as are numerous options for automation.
Combustion IC is used for analysis per method EPA 1621, as well as ASTM D7994, ASTM D7359, ASTM D8150, ASTM D8247, UOP991 and others.
