1.1 Instrument description
1 Introduction
1.1 Instrument description
The 844 UV/VIS Compact IC is a PC-controlled instrument for
chromatographic analysis that is available in the six following versions:
• 2.844.0010 UV/VIS Compact IC
• 2.844.0020 UV/VIS Compact IC with post column reactor
• 2.844.0030 UV/VIS Compact IC 844: Steel
• 2.844.0110 UV/VIS Compact IC with column heating
• 2.844.0120 UV/VIS Compact IC with post column reactor
and column heating
• 2.844.0130 UV/VIS Compact IC 844 with column heating:
Steel
All the necessary components for chromatography with UV/VIS
detection are contained in the extremely compact housing of the 844
UV/VIS Compact IC:
• Injection valve – for single injections or for use with a sample
changer, e.g. the 838 Advanced Sample Processor.
• High-pressure pump – extremely low pulsation double-piston
pump with a flow range of 0.2 … 2.5 mL/min and a maximum
pressure of 35 MPa (350 bar).
• Pulsation dampener – the pulsation dampener reliably protects
the columns from damage, even with low-level pressure variations
(not necessairy with versions 2.844.0030 and 2.844.0130).
• Column heating – the perfect insulation of the housing creates
thermally stable conditions for the columns (with Versions
2.844.0110, 2.844.0120 and 2.844.0130).
• Columns – whether anion columns, cation columns or separating
columns for organic acids – they all find space in the column
compartment of the 844 UV/VIS Compact IC.
• Post column reactor – in the post column reactor the eluate from
the column and a reagent delivered by a peristaltic pump are
mixed and transported to the detector. In this way ions that cannot
be detected are converted into (optically) detectable species (with
Versions 2.844.0020 and 2.844.0120).
• UV/VIS detector – for the determination of transitional metals with
post column derivation, chromate, bromate, nitrite and nitrate in
strongly polluted waters, as well as various organic ions.

Table of contents
The two steel versions 2.844.0030 and 2.844.0130 are used for HPLC
applications. There is an addittional componet of stel versions:.
• Gas-Sensor – the gas-sensor disrupts power supply, whenever
sovent concentration gets too high.
The operation of the 844 UV/VIS Compact IC takes place via a PC
connected to the RS232 interface with the help of the «IC Net» control
and evaluation program. This PC program can be used to create
systems for recording and evaluating chromatograms. Time programs
can also be created in which a large number of instrument functions
can be triggered for each program step. It is also possible to use programmable signals to control external instruments via the remote
interface.
The «IC Net» operating software 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 nonlinear calibration, various integration modes with integration parameters
and integration events, different methods for peak recognition, peak
editor, free scaling, superimposing several chromatograms, use of
sample tables and batch reprocessing; a powerful and GLP-conform
report generator with output interfaces for monitor, printer and external
databases.
The independent «Autodatabase» PC program supplied can be used to
save and handle results and chromatograms produced by the «IC Net»
program in a database. With «Autodatabase» data can be sorted,
filtered and searched with the help of different criteria. In addition, data
and curves can be printed out according to user-defined report
templates.
The «IC Net» software can be configured and used in order to comply
with the Electronic Records and Signatures Rule, known as 21 CFR
Part 11, established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
For this purpose the program contains password protection, user administration, electronic signatures, audit trail and administration of methods and results in databases. To use the 21 CFR Part 11 features of
«IC Net» the operating system Windows 2000 or Windows XP with
NTFS file system is required.

1.4 Safety notes
1.4 Safety notes
1.4.1 Electrical safety
While electrical safety in the handling of the 844 UV/VIS Compact IC is
assured in the context of the specifications EN / IEC 61010-1
(protection class
should be noted:
• Mains connection
Setting of the mains voltage, checking the mains fuse and the
mains connection must be effected in accordance with the
instructions in Section
• Opening the 844 UV/VIS Compact IC
If the 844 UV/VIS Compact IC is connected to the power supply, the
instrument must not be opened nor must parts be removed from it,
otherwise there is a danger of coming into contact with components
which are live. Therefore always disconnect the instrument from all
voltage sources before you open it and ensure that the mains cable
is disconnected from mains connection
I, degree of protection IP40), the following points
2.4.
21 !
• Protection against static charges
Electronic components are sensitive to static charging and can be
destroyed by discharges. Before you touch any of the components
inside the 844 UV/VIS Compact IC, you should ground yourself and
any tools you are using by touching a grounded object (e.g. housing
of the instrument or a radiator) to eliminate any static charges which
exist.
1.4.2 General precautionary rules
• Handling of solvents
Check all lines of the IC system periodically for possible leaks. Follow
the relevant instructions regarding the handling of flammable and/or
toxic solvents and their disposal.
1.4.3 Recycling and disposal
This product is covered by European Directive 2002/96/EC, WEEE –
Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
The correct disposal of your old equipment will help to prevent negative
effects on the environment and public health.
More details about the disposal of your old equipment can be obtained
from your local authorities, from waste disposal companies or from your
local dealer.
