Instrument description

930 Compact IC Flex Oven/SeS/PP (2.930.2500)
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.
￭
The 930 Compact IC Flex is operated using the MagIC Net software. A
USB cable is used to connect the device to a computer with MagIC Net
installed. The intelligent software detects the device automatically and
checks its functionality. The software controls and monitors the device,
evaluates the measured data and manages it in a database.
The 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/SeS/PP consists of the following modules:
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.
Column oven
The column oven regulates the temperature for the separation column
and the eluent, thereby providing stable measuring conditions. There is a
column holder with chip reader in the column oven.
