863 Compact IC Autosampler
Automating ion chromatography will save you costs while improving traceability and reproducibility of results. The 863 Compact IC Autosampler has all standard functions and even allows a limited range of inline sample preparation. It is controlled by MagIC Net™ 1.1 but also from the front panel and by remote signals.
Mixed review of the instrument
Ethanol
When the machine works it's great when it doesn't it's extremely frustrating! It was really nice when we could just reach out to our local rep and he would be there within a day and have it back up and running.
Review Date: 1 Dec 2023 | Metrohm AG
high reliability and good performance
Foods and agricutural products
The system is easy to use and replace consumables and good after-sale service. However, the high cost of consumables leads to a high cost to analyze per a sample. The similar systems from other manufacturers (e.g. Dionex, Thermo), with a wider range of uses and consumable replacements. If evaluated on a 10-point scale, this system only scores 6/10 in overall aspects (performance, operating costs and usability).

Organic Acids in Organics with Conductivity Detection After Inverse Suppression
In this application note, arabinonic, glyceric, glycolic, and formic acid are determined in an organic compound applying ion-exclusion chromatography and conductivity detection after inverse suppression. For the inverse suppression, the Metrohm Suppressor Module is used in its lithium form to reduce the background conductivity and to convert the acids to their fully dissociated Li+ form. Regeneration is performed by lithium chloride.
Maleic and Kojic Acid in Starch Applying UV/VIS Detection After Ion-Exclusion Chromatography
Maleic acid findings in Asian food caused the recall of a lot of starch-containing food products in Asia. Long-term consumption of maleic acid can cause kidney problems. The cyclic kojic acid, on the other hand, is approved as an additive in food and cosmetics to preserve or to bleach, respectively. In this application note, both acids are determined in a single analysis using the 944 Professional UV/VIS Detector Vario and the 863 Compact IC Autosampler from Metrohm.
Azide in Air from Pharmaceutical Production
During the production of certain pharmaceutical products, azide may be formed. Azide can cause explosions during manufacturing. To prevent such accidents, its concentration in air has to be monitored. This application note presents a method for the separation of Azide (N3-) from standard anions using the Metrosep A Supp 5 - 250/4.0.
Phosphate in Cola Drinks
Cola drinks contain a high amount of phosphoric acid. Quality control of cola beverages includes determining the phosphate content. Phosphate analysis also indicates the dilution of the phosphate concentrate during cola processing. This application note describes and ion chromatography method for the determination of phosphate in cola drinks.
