Page 10: Introduction
All components, which come into contact with eluent and sample are metal-free. The operation of the 792 Basic IC takes place via a PC connected to the RS232 interface with the help of the control and evaluation program «792 Basic IC». This PC program can be used to open prepared sys- tems for recording and evaluating chromatograms and modify them if need be.
Page 11 1 Introduction The operating software for the 792 Basic IC meets all the requirements you could place today on a modern integration software: single or multi- point calibration, internal or external standard, selectable algorithms for non-linear calibration, various integration modes with integration pa-...

Separating columns Separation efficiency The attainable quality of analyses with the 792 Basic IC depends to a large extent on the separation efficiency of the column used. When pur- chasing an IC column you should ensure that the separation efficiency suffices for the analysis problems at hand.
Page 149: High-Pressure Pump
If the separation properties of the column have deteriorated, it can be regenerated in accordance with the column manufacturer’s specifica- tions. With the separating columns available from Metrohm (see sec- tion 6.3.2), the instructions for regeneration can be found on the leaflet enclosed with every column.

Page 151: Suppressor Module
(see section 2.8.2). Operation The Metrohm Suppressor Module MSM comprises a total of 3 sup- pressor units which are in turn used for suppression, regenerated with sulfuric acid and rinsed with water. To record every new chromatogram under comparable conditions, work is normally carried out with freshly regenerated suppressor.
Page 152: Maintenance And Servicing
1.4.1. Maintenance by Metrohm service Maintenance of the 792 Basic IC is best done as part of an annual ser- vice performed by specialists from the Metrohm company. If work is frequently performed with caustic and corrosive chemicals, it may be necessary to shorten the interval between servicing.
