2 Introduction
2.1 Instrument description
The 940 Professional IC Vario is a professional ion chromatograph. It is
distinguished by:
￭ Its intelligence: All of the functions are monitored, optimized and
documented in an FDA-compatible manner. Intelligent components,
such as iColumns, save important data onto a chip.
￭ Its compact design: It has a small footprint.
￭ Its modularity: It provides flexibility for use in various applications. It
can hold up to three modules for different functions in its three draw-
ers. Individual modules can be swapped or added as needed.
￭ Its transparency: All components are easily accessible and located for
simple visibility and can be monitored during operation through a large
window.
￭ Its safety: The design separates the wet end and the electronics,
thereby preventing liquids from coming into contact with the electron-
ics to a large extent. A leak sensor is integrated into the wet end.
￭ Its environmental compatibility.
￭ Its low noise emissions.
￭ The intelligent MagIC Net software
The 940 Professional IC Vario is operated solely using the MagIC Net soft-
ware. A USB cable is used to connect the instrument to a computer with
MagIC Net installed. The intelligent software detects the instrument auto-
matically and checks its functionality. The software controls and monitors
the instrument, evaluates the measured data and manages it in a data-
base.
The 940 Professional IC Vario ONE/SeS/Prep 3 consists of the following
modules:
Housing
The sturdy housing contains the instrument's electronic components,
including their interfaces and three connections for separation columns
(two of which are built into the installed column thermostat). In addition,
the housing provides space for two detectors and up to three plug-ins
with different functions. Capillaries and cables can be fed into and out of
the instrument through several openings.
