1.2 Intended use
The instrument 850 Professional IC – Anion – MCS is used for ion
chromatographic determination of anions or polar substances with
sequential suppression:
￭ Chemical suppression with the Metrohm Suppressor Module (MSM)
(see Chapter 2.16, page 46) and subsequent
￭ CO
2
suppression with the Metrohm CO
2
Suppressor (MCS) (see Chap-
ter 2.18, page 54).
The use of sequential suppression reduces background conductivity to a
minimum.
If required, the instrument can also be used for the determination of cati-
ons or anions without suppression.
The present instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable
samples. The usage of the 850 Professional IC – Anion – MCS therefore
requires that the user has basic knowledge and experience in the handling
of toxic and caustic substances. Knowledge with respect to the applica-
tion of the fire prevention measures prescribed for laboratories is also
mandatory.
