2.2 850 Professional IC
In order to install the Professional IC you have to perform
the following steps: Remove rollers and handle, place the
detector blocks in the instrument and connect the detector
cables, remove transport locking screws, connect the leak
sensor cable, connect the drainage tubing, and set up the
eluent bottles. Please refer to the 850 Professional IC
manual for a detailed description (chapters 2.6 and 2.8).
Capillaries are connected according to the following list and
the diagram below (also see manual chapters 2.14 to 2.18)
1. Connection to the eluent bottle for anion determination
2. Capillary to anion separation column
3. MSM inlet capillary – labeled with Eluent
4. MSM outlet capillary – labeled with Detector, which can
be connected to the MCS or directly to the detector.
The MCS air aspiration capillary is connected to the
CO2-absorber cartridge.
5. Capillary from MCS to anion detector, long PEEK
pressure screws (6.2744.090) are used for the MCS
connection
6. Detector outlet capillary to waste
7. Regeneration solution aspiration capillaries (PTFE, 0.97
mm ID), connected to two bottles with ultrapure water
and 50 mmol/L sulfuric acid respectively via peristaltic
pump tubing with orange/yellow stoppers (6.1826.320)
8. MSM regeneration solution outlet capillaries – labeled
with Waste – to waste
9. Connection to the Eluent bottle for cation determination
10. Capillary to cation separation column
11. Capillary from cation separation column to cation
detector
12. Detector outlet capillary to waste
13. Sample inlet capillary (PTFE, 90 cm, d=0.25 mm),
connected to the anion valve (position 1)
14. Optional sample degasser
Capillary connection (PTFE, 40 cm, d=0.5 mm) between
anion valve (position 2) and cation valve (position 1)
15. Connection capillary anion channel valve to cation
channel valve
16. Capillary to the waste
Application Bulletin 356

Prepare and degas two eluents suitable for the anion and
cation columns you want to use (see column manuals). For
Metrosep A Supp 5 a solution of 3.2 mmol/L Na2CO3 / 1.0
mmol/L NaHCO3 is adequate. For Metrosep C 4 a solution
of 1.7 mmol/L HNO3 / 0.7 mmol/L dipicolinic acid (DPA, 2,6Pyridinedicarboxylic acid) is adequate.
Provide regeneration solutions for the MSM Suppressor
(ultrapure water and 100 mmol/L sulfuric acid).

2.3 797 VA Computrace
Following steps have to be done to install the MVA-3
system:
a) Establish the following tubing connections between the system components
b) Establish the tubing connections for 800 Dosinos for the addition of solutions:
Application Bulletin 356

c) Establish the tubing connections at the measuring
head of the 797 VA Computrace:
2.4 858 Professional Sample Processor
For a detailed description, please refer to the 858
Professional Sample Processor manual. In general, you will
have to do the following: Plug in the Swing Head connection
cable, and plug in the power supply cable. The sample
processor initializes and lifts its Swing Head, once it is
connected to the IC device and the MSB connection is
recognized. Afterwards, it is possible to mount the retaining
plate (manual chapters 3.2 - 3.4).
Mount the Dosino holder (6.2057.040) on the side of the
tower and attach a 10 mL Dosing Unit (6.3032.210) and a
800 Dosino (2.800.0010) to it.
A rinsing station is mandatory for this setup.
The rinsing station is mounted onto the sample processor,
which is easiest when the rack is temporarily removed. The
exact position can be adjusted by directing the needle into
the rinsing station with the manual control (in the window
manual). The inner compartment approximately relates to a
swing head angle of ~116°, the outer one approximately
relates to ~110°. Memorize your angle settings.
Fig.: Rinsing station parts
A tubing is fixed at the bottom of the rinsing station to drain
the waste water. A bottle of ultrapure water is needed as
reservoir for the rinsing solution. The rinsing solution is
transported by one channel of the peristaltic pump of the
sample processor.
Mount the rinsing station on the sample processor.
Connect ultrapure water reservoir with the peristaltic pump
(via pump tubing (6.1826.360) and PEEK screws / tubing
olives) using a PTFE capillary (part of 6.1803.030). Then
connect the peristaltic pump (via pump tubing and PEEK
Screws / tubing olives) to the inner compartment of the
rinsing station also using a PTFE capillary (part of
6.1803.030).
The outer compartment of the rinsing station is connected to
the waste container.
