Combustion Ion Chromatography Analyzer

Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC) extends the range of chromatography to all types of combustible samples. The focus here is primarily on the simultaneous determination of the various halogens and sulfur in widely differing matrices. Combustion chromatography is ideal for routine analysis in a variety of fields, as neither details about the nature of the sample matrix need to be known nor complicated method development is necessary. Not only is combustion chromatography recommended for quality control of raw materials, intermediates and finished products, but the method is also suitable for straight forward and exact monitoring of compliance with the relevant laws, standards and regulatory requirements in the environmental field (e.g. DIN EN 228, IEC 605021, RoHS, WEEE, …).

FEATURES

Extended range of application of chromatography for all kinds of combustible samples (solid, liquid and gaseous)
Simultaneous determination of sulfur and halogens
Quantification of the concentration for each halogen
Ideal for checking the latest analytical standards with regard to halogen-free products (RoHS, WEEE …)
High sample throughput, precision, and accuracy
Clarity chromatography software for control and data management
Flame sensor ensures optimum combustion time with a universal method
Compliance with FDA and GLP standards
Calibration with just one standard thanks to ISS Partial Loop Injection Technique
Fully automated sample preparation for solid and liquid samples with just one modular sample changer.
