Metrohm presents its new 850 Professional IC. It is the first professional ion chromatography system with intelligent system components that are optimally matched to one another. The way from the sample to a precise result has now become easier, as the system thinks for itself and makes its own logical decisions. The System is equipped with the new intelligent system components iPump, iDetector and iDosino, the MagIC Net software and Metrosep iColumns. The system monitors and optimizes all functions and can document them in an FDA-compatible form. Components log themselves in automatically and provide the new software with all the relevant information. If a parameter leaves the predefined range then the user is informed by e-mail or SMS. The complex and efficient system can be operated simply and intuitively. This applies for both, experienced users with complex applications and complicated calculations and users who value one-button operation.
