Eco IC by Metrohm AG

"ECO IC, along with the autosampler, was a profitable investment for the laboratory at my University, for training and teaching undergraduate student as well as for research on water for human consumption and water for preservation of the environment. The ECO IC does not require special conditions for quick installation and simple operation; moreover, the eluents that are needed can be found in any standard laboratory. We have tested the reproducibility of the measurements obtaining very good results. Due to its simple operation undergraduate students can directly measure their own samples and obtain the reports with minimal supervision of the the laboratory worker in charge of the equipment. Finally, the residues can be easily stabilized, concentrated and disposed of quickly and cheaply. The time and cost per sample is low compared to other techniques, since we can get multi-element analysis with a single injection, avoiding the preparation and measurement of the same sample in different equipment and different standards or calibration curves. Changing the separation column is fast as well as the equilibration time. Finally, the cost of the column is justified by the large number of analyses that can be done on each column."

"The instrument is very accurate for cation analysis with high background conductivity. The flexibility of the device and the software is in my eyes very good."

"In our laboratory we have an Eco IC which we use to perform environmental analyses on natural water, waste water, waste eluates, emissions in work environments and wines. We are very happy with the Eco IC because it is very versatile in different types of matrices, reaching limits of quantitation of the order of ppb even with the basic model. Furthermore, service from your technicians is highly appreciated thanks to your competence and availability."

"The Eco IC is the most used and one of the most important instrument in our lab. The instrument is very compact. It doesn't take a lot of space which is nice for a small lab like ours. It is very easy to use and very user friendly. The results are very reliable (if done correctly) and reproducible. I just wish that we had gotten a more upgraded version so we could run more samples. It's easy to use once you get the hang of it (the training course also helped a lot. I recommend this training for people who are using the IC instrument). The only con I would say is that switching the column from anion to cation and vice versa does take time. Other than that, the instrument is amazing!"

"The Eco IC Ion Chromatograph served us precisely, efficiently and easily handled the analysis demands required by our sanitation laboratory for compounds commonly present in wastewater and some agrochemicals. After the purchase, we received a visit from a representative of Metrohm Brasil, who assisted us with the installation of the equipment and software. He also taught a training course for basic handling and maintenance, clearly and easily understood. Overall, the company demonstrated good customer service. The equipment purchased made it possible to automate the analysis, with fewer reagents and time spent, representing a good cost-benefit."

"With my new Eco IC, I can achieve results and easily analyze water samples. It is easy and very user-friendly. Great value for money."

"We replaced an ICNET Metrohm IC which served us perfectly for 10 years. We wanted to update with another Metrohm instruments because we were very satisfied by the quality, price and ease-of-use of the previous one. This one even if it is considered an entry level instrument, it's perfect for our applications."

"Easily achievable low detection limits for anions in drinking water with a great concentration range."

"good, robust, accurate, precise, simple and user friendly."

"Its an easy to use instrument. User friendly and simple"

"IC was installed and in use within a week. The new IC is much easier to use, no reagents to add, and very little maintenance."

"It enabled high quality results that were consistent. It's easy to use and maintain."
