    1 Introduction 1 Introduction Instrument description The 930 Compact IC Flex is a robust ion chromatograph. It is distinguished Its intelligence: All of the functions are monitored, optimized and docu- ￭ mented in an FDA-compatible manner. Intelligent components, such as iColumns, save important data onto a chip.
  • Page 10 Detector Metrohm offers a series of different detectors for various analysis tasks. A suitable detector type must be ordered as a separate device. Sample degasser The sample degasser removes gas bubbles and dissolved gases from the sample.

  • Page 11: Intended Use

    This instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable sam- ples. Therefore, the use of the 930 Compact IC Flex requires the user to have basic knowledge and experience in handling toxic and caustic sub- stances. Knowledge regarding the application of fire prevention measures prescribed for laboratories is also mandatory.
