1.1 Description of the instrument
1 Introduction
1.1 Description of the instrument
The 816 IC Eluent Selector has two 3-way valves and can be integrated in an IC system via an RS232 interface. When used in a Metrohm
IC system it can be operated completely by remote control.
Up to three different eluents can be used with the 816 IC Eluent Selector. In this way the 816 IC Eluent Selector makes it easy to use step
gradients in order to optimize the separating performance of your system with difficult samples. A further frequent application is its use in a
2-channel system for investigating samples which require different
separating systems for their complete analysis, e.g. the determination
of cations and anions in a single sample. In combination with the
2-channel version of the 812 IC Valve Unit and the 761 Compact IC with
suppressor, the 816 IC Eluent Selector forms a compact IC system with
which the cations and anions in a single sample can be determined.
