889 IC Sample Center: high-speed automation for small sample volumes (1 µL… 10 mL)
The 889 IC Sample Center is a robust autosampler for high sample throughput. Optimized for the challenges of modern analytical labs, it uses the x-y-z principle and a high-resolution dosing for excellent sample introduction. A double needle system allows the use of vials with caps or septa. A PEEK-injector completes the automation system of the 889 IC Sample Center.
The autosampler has met my expectations.

The 889 IC Sample Center is a robust autosampler for high sample throughput.

Taking less than 10 seconds from the start of a determination to the injection, the 889 IC Sample Center is record-breaking. This reduces the time required for the injection between the analyses to a minimum. A high sample throughput is guaranteed.
The 889 IC Sample Center is characterized by its versatility in respect to different injection procedures e.g. full-loop, partial-loop and pick-up-mode. All three modes support the Pressure-Assisted Sample Aspiration (PASA™). The headspace pressure eases the sample introduction especially for viscous samples. The variability of the sample volume also demonstrates the 889 IC Sample Center's flexibility.
The scope of delivery comprises two 48 position racks for 300 µL and 700 µL sample vials. These may be used for injection volumes of 1 to 100 µL (in 1 µL increments). Besides these Standard racks other sample racks for any type of HPLC vials as well as microtiter plates of the SBS standard may be used on the 889 IC Sample Center. Racks with 12 to 384 sample positions will also be supported. The sample volume ranges from 1 µL up to 10 mL. The choice is yours.
Determination of polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP) in Haemophilus influenzae vaccine using ion chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection
Many pathogenic bacteria possess a polysaccharide capsule that encloses the cell, modulates the flow of nutrients to the cell surface, and protects against dehydration. When a bacterium establishes an infection in a mammalian host, the polysaccharide capsule hides cell surface components from elements of the mammalian immune system, such as antibodies and complement proteins that otherwise would activate mechanisms to kill the pathogen.

Analysis of Anions and Oxoanions using Ion Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (IC-MS)
Ion Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (IC-MS) is a powerful tool to handle many challenging analytical tasks. Ion chromatography tackles difficult separation problems of various ionic species and typically works with conductivity detection. Mass detection as a secondary independent detector, confirms the identity of analytes in difficult matrices to ensure correct results. Even co-eluting components can be quantified and detection limits are considerably improved. Various ions, such as nitrate, phosphate, perchlorate, thiosulfate or thiocyanate are reliably separated and detected. Difficult matrices like soil or explosion residues can be removed with automated sample preparation techniques (e.g. with Inline Ultrafiltration or Dialysis). The technique is a robust and easy-to-use way to monitor anions and oxoanions in various matrices, e.g. in environmental, post-explosion and semiconductor samples.
Amino Acids Applying UV/VIS Detection after Post-Column Reaction with Ninhydrin at 120°C
The determination of amino acid is an important task in pharmaceutical and biochemical applications. This study presents an ion chromatography method for the separation of 17 amino acids of a commercially available solution.
Post-Column Chemistry for Improved Optical Absorption Detection
This poster shows improved equipment for post-column chemistry suited for any liquid chromatography system. The flexibility of the reactor is demonstrated by optimizing four widespread post-column techniques: the relatively slow ninhydrin reaction with amino acids and the fast derivatizations of silicate, bromate, and chromate(VI). USP and EPA methods are performed accordingly.
