The 930 Compact IC Flex is a robust ion chromatograph. It is distinguished
by:
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.
Its compact design: It has a small footprint.
￭
Its transparency: All components are easily accessible and located for
￭
simple visibility and can be monitored during operation through a large
window.
Its safety: The wet end and the electronics are physically separated.
￭
This prevents fluids from coming into contact with the electronics to a
large extent. A leak sensor is integrated into the wet end.
Its environmental compatibility.
￭
Its low noise emission.
￭
The intelligent MagIC Net software.
￭
Its performance: Short retention times and sharp peaks when used
￭
with the IC Conductivity Detector MB and a column with a diameter of
2 mm.
The 930 Compact IC Flex is operated using the MagIC Net software. A
USB cable is used to connect the instrument to a computer with
MagIC Net installed. The intelligent software detects the instrument auto-
matically and checks its functionality. The software controls and monitors
the instrument, evaluates the measured data and manages it in a data-
base.
The 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/Deg/MB consists of the following mod-
ules:
Housing
The sturdy housing contains the instrument's electronic components,
including their interfaces and one connector for a separation column. In
addition, the housing provides space for a conductivity detector or an
amperometric detector. Capillaries and cables can be fed into and out of
the instrument through several openings.
Leak sensor
The leak sensor detects leaking liquid that collects in the instrument's base
tray. Liquid that leaks in the instrument is routed to the base tray using
drainage tubing and detected there.
