Feature:

Ion Chromatography System [Non-metallic PEEK based] compatible for 0-14 pH & 100% RP organic solvents with built-in low/ high pressure dual pump Quaternary Gradient Pump for simultaneous analysis of anions & cations. Provide multiple flexibility of detection of complex sample matrix by gradient and Isocratic mode to analyse various Anions like Cl-, F-, Br, PO4-3, SO4-3, PO4, Nitrate, Nitraite, Oxalate, Glycolate, Benzoate, Molybdate, Organic acids, etc., Cations like Na+, K, Li+, NH4+, Ca+ , Mg, Amines like propylamine and cyclohexylamine etc detection by conductivity. Carbohydrates, Cyanide, sulphide etc. detection by amperometry. Transition metals with iron and chromium speciation should be determine by using UV-Vis detector and post column reagent assembly. System should have capability of consumable device monitoring with RFID tags. Field upgradability option for eluent generator with KOH and MSA cartridges.

Applications:

Environmental Engineering, Material Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Ocean Science, Geo-environmental, Water Resources, etc.
