■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 1 Introduction 1 Introduction Instrument description The 945 Professional Detector Vario – Conductometry is an intelli- gent stand-alone detector equipped with a high-performance conductivity detector. As a stand-alone detector, it can be combined with instruments such as those of the 940 Professional IC Vario family for which all available detec-...
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 1.2 Intended use Intended use The 945 Professional Detector Vario – Conductometry is used as an inde- pendent conductivity detector in an IC system. It is used for the precise measurement of the conductivity during the ion chromatographic determi- nation of cations and anions.
Damaged tubing ends lead to leakage. Appropriate tools can be used to loosen connections. Check the connections regularly for leakage. If the instrument is used mainly in unattended operation, then weekly inspections are manda- tory. ■■■■■■■■ 2.945.0010 945 Professional Detector Vario – Conductometry...
