Liquid that leaks in the instrument is routed to the base tray using drainage tubing and detected there. Eluent degasser The eluent degasser removes gas bubbles and dissolved gases from the eluent. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex SeS/Deg (2.930.1460)
This lowers the background conductivity, improves detection sen- sitivity and minimizes the injection peak and system peak. 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.

The 930 Compact IC Flex SeS/Deg is used for the determination of anions, cations or polar substances with sequential suppression using ion chroma- tography. Sequential suppression consists of: Chemical suppression with a Metrohm Suppressor Module (MSM) and ■ subsequent suppression with the Metrohm CO Suppressor (MCS).
The electrical safety when working with the instrument is ensured as part of the international standard IEC 61010. WARNING Only personnel qualified by Metrohm are authorized to carry out service work on electronic components. 930 Compact IC Flex SeS/Deg (2.930.1460)
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. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex SeS/Deg (2.930.1460)
