Metrohm precision measurement systems for chemical

analysis made in Switzerland
Metrohm AG, founded in 1943, is a worldwide leading manufacturer of precision instruments for chemical analysis. Our measurement instruments are found not only in the
laboratories of practically every industry, but also in research institutes and government
agencies.
At our headquarters in Herisau in eastern Switzerland, we develop and produce measurement instruments for titration, ion chromatography, pH and conductivity measurement, voltammetry and stability measurement. Our product program is supplemented
with dosing and Liquid Handling systems, solutions for the automation of sample preparation and analysis and sensors, columns and extensive accessories. In addition, we
have been distributing a newly introduced program of systems for near-infrared analyses
in the laboratory and process under the brand name Metrohm NIRSystems since 2013.
Metrohm instruments are sold worldwide through a network of around 40 companyowned subsidiaries and through around 40 additional exclusive representatives. These
also provide exclusive worldwide service and support under the name Metrohm.
We see ourselves as problem solvers both in the laboratory and in the industrial process. It is for that reason that we offer our customers tailored overall solutions that, in
addition to the respective analysis instruments, also comprise the necessary application
expertise. At our applications laboratories, our chemists are continuously developing
new applications and methods, publishing them in specialist journals and thereby opening up new fields of application for our customers.
Not at least, we distinguish ourselves from most of our to some extent considerably
larger competitors by the fact that Metrohm AG has been wholly owned by the nonprofit Metrohm Foundation since 1982.

Conductometer
The 856 Conductivity Module can be used as stand-alone
instrument in combination with a 900 Touch Control or
as a supplement to a Titrando system.
The 856 Conductivity Module can perform measurements with the latest in conductivity measuring technology, the 5-ring conductivity measuring cells. They reach
a very high linearity without platinization of the cells. This
guarantees highest accuracy, and the cell constant, once
determined, remains constant over a wide measuring
range. In contrast to the 4-ring cells, the electrode can be
immersed completely into the beaker. This means not
only that beakers with different fill levels are no problem,
but also that rapid mixing within the measuring cell can
take place, even in stirred measuring solutions. Last but
not least, the 5-ring conductivity measuring cell is very
easy to clean, thanks to the removable cap.
Thanks to the galvanically separated measuring input, pH

value and conductivity can be determined in the same
beaker without interference in conjunction with the 867
pH Module.
The instrument is equipped with 2 USB interfaces for
connecting USB printers, Autosamplers or barcode readers and 4 MSB interfaces for connecting stirrers or dosing
devices of the 800 Dosino type (e.g., for adding auxiliary
solutions).
Both in conjunction with the 900 Touch Control as standalone conductivity measurement instrument and as an
integrated component in tiamoTM full (from Version 2.0),
the 856 Conductivity Module is in compliance with GLP
and FDA requirements.
With the help of the optional 6.2103.160 Adapter box,

the classical Metrohm conductivity measuring cells can
also continue to be used with the instrument.

Potentiometric titrators Titrando

Titrando family
Depending on the model, the Titrando supports the titration modes DET (dynamic equivalence point titration),
MET (monotonic equivalence point titration) and SET
(titration to one or two specified endpoints), KFT (volumetric Karl Fischer titration) and pH-STAT.
Ion meter
Not only pH, voltage and temperature can be measured
with the MEAS pH and MEAS CONC measuring modes.
Direct concentration determination and standard addition with ion-selective electrodes are also possible.
Comprehensive Liquid Handling
Basic operations of everyday laboratory work such as
pipetting, transferring, dosing, dispensing and diluting
become childs play, thanks to the Liquid Handling functionality of the Titrando. Maximum accuracy and precision are guaranteed in the range of 10 L to 100 mL.
Measuring input
The measuring interface of the Titrando is comprised of
a connector for the intelligent iTrodes electrodes, a
high-ohm measuring input and a measuring input for
polarizable electrodes, in addition to one separate reference input and one temperature input for Pt1000 or NTC
temperature sensors. The resolution of the inputs is at
0.1 mV or 0.001 pH. Up to two galvanically isolated
measuring interfaces can be installed.
MSB connector
Up to 4 Dosinos or Dosimats, 4 magnetic stirrers or rod
stirrers and 4 Remote Boxes can be connected for automation with its four installed Metrohm Serial Buses (MSB
connectors). This makes the modular Titrando system the
most flexible titration system on the market. The Plugand-play functionality makes the manual configuration
of peripheral devices superfluous; the Titrando recognizes the connected instrument automatically.
USB connector
Two USB ports are available for communication with
balances, printers or other USB-capable instruments.
Laboratory balances can be connected with the aid of an
RS-232 converter.
The Dosino space-saving modernity

With the Titrando, dosing is accomplished with Dosino
and intelligent dosing unit, which are screwed directly
onto the reagent bottle. All of the data about the
reagent and the dosing unit required for the titration is
stored in the integrated data chip. Each dosing unit is
marked with a serial number and a cylinder number and
is shipped with an individual certificate.
Intelligent electrodes iTrodes
The integrated memory chip enables the saving of important sensor data such as article and serial numbers, calibration data, calibration history, duration of use and
calibration validity. All of the sensor data is uploaded
automatically when a connection is made with the
Titrando. This means that the possibility of mix-ups or
editing errors is eliminated. The user is informed if the
electrode type does not match the one defined in the
method. Monitoring functions allow the exclusion of
electrodes whose calibration data lies outside the limit
values or whose calibration period has already expired.
Operation The choice is up to you
The Touch Control is an ergonomic and up-to-date operating element with direct network connection. Thanks to
the new Favorites, you now have direct access to the
methods you use most frequently.
The titration software tiamo offers, in addition to the
standard functions for controlling a Titrando via PC,
numerous additional functionalities, e.g., a client/server
database or true parallel titration.
Unlimited automation
Increasing numbers of samples, complicated sample preparation steps and unattended overnight operation soon
justify the use of a sample changer. The Titrando is
equipped with the necessary intelligence for controlling
sample changers. Whether it be large or small sample
capacity, one or two workstations, sample measuring,
sample preparation, Liquid Handling, or rinsing and calibrating the electrodes the USB Sample Processors offer
a high degree of automation with low investment costs.

Potentiometric titrators Titrino plus

Titrino plus Introduction
The Titrino plus, Metrohms entry class in the area of
potentiometric titration, is particularly attractive due to
its practically unbelievable price-performance ratio. A
large live display with titration curve, Plug & Play functionality of exchange unit, stirrer and USB printer, a highprecision measuring input, operation with keyboard
the Titrino plus offers considerably more than you would
ever expect in this price segment. Their robustness also
makes them the ideal titrators for routine determinations
in everyday laboratory operations.
Potentiometric titration
The 877 Titrino plus supports the titration modes MET
(monotonic equivalence point titration) and SET (titration
to one or two specified endpoints). The 848 Titrino plus
supports in addition the titration mode DET (dynamic
equivalence point titration).
The live curve brings it to light
Every Titrino plus is equipped with a live curve display.
This means that you are always informed of the progress
of the titration.
Maximum precision thanks to the new measuring
input
The Titrino plus is equipped with a high-resolution
26
measuring input that guarantees results with the greatest

of precision.
Maximum ease of installation
The installation of a Titrino plus is designed to be exceptionally simple. Exchange unit, stirrer and USB compact printer are detected and configured automatically as
soon as they are connected.
Mouse or keys select your favorite!
The Titrino plus can be controlled either per mouseclick
or keyboard. A USB port is available for communication
with balances or printers. The optional 6.2148.030 USB/
RS-232 adapter box enables the connection of laboratory
balances and operation with a computer.
Intelligent exchange unit for more convenience
The chip for the intelligent Metrohm exchange unit automatically provides the titrator with the data (cylinder
volume, type of reagent, date of expiration for the titer,
etc.) that it requires to accomplish the titrations errorfree. This means that you will always titer under optimum
conditions and that you will not need, for example, to
repeat any measurements because of an expired titer.

Thermometric titration
859 Titrotherm complete with tiamo
Computer-controlled titrator for thermometric titration.
Including complete accessories for the titration (10 mL
buret, titration stand with rod stirrer, Thermoprobe, titration vessel and tiamo light).
Benefits of thermometric titration
Rapid and robust method for routine operation
One sensor for all applications no interacting with
the sample or the solvent
Maintenance-free sensor no calibration necessary
Suitable for aggressive media
No membrane or diaphragm problems
Thermometric titration is a highly versatile determination

method. In principle, it is suitable for every reaction that
causes a sufficiently large temperature change in the
sample solution. It is therefore particularly suitable for
applications
for which no suitable potentiometric sensor or reference electrolyte is available
for which the sample disrupts the electrode
for which no solvent suitable for potentiometry is
available
The Titrotherm 859 state-of-the-art USB technology

Thanks to state-of-the-art USB technology, the instrument
is detected and configured automatically by the tiamo
titration software at the time of connection to the computer. The same applies to all the dosing units, stirrers
and sensors connected to the Titrotherm.
The proven tiamo software enables a rapid, goaloriented method development, in addition to a simple
generation of results. The endpoints are determined
automatically; reproducibility can be enhanced even
more when additional optimization parameters are used.
The generation of reports is accomplished using methodspecific form sheets that can be designed to suit.
Thermoprobe rapid, precise and robust
The temperature sensor (thermistor) based on semiconductor technology has impressive properties: Its response
time is only 0.3 s and its resolution is 10-5 K, thus enabling it to follow every temperature change both rapidly
and precisely. The glass shaft lends the sensor an outstanding resistance to many organic solvents and aggressive media.
The Dosino technology
The Dosino technology from Metrohm has set a new
standard in volumetric titration. The dosing unit is
mounted together with the motor drive and the reagent
bottle, thus guaranteeing maximum precision with minimum space requirements.
859 Titrotherm
32
Catalyzed thermometric titration

In the event of very low sample concentrations or with
low molar reaction enthalpy, the temperature change
during the titration is often not sufficient for unambiguous determination of the endpoint, as for example with
the determination of very small quantities of organic
acids with the titrant c(KOH) = 0.1 mol/L in isopropanol.
Here the addition of a small amount of paraformaldehyde
facilitates the finding of the endpoint, because immediately after the endpoint is reached (i.e. as soon as excess
hydroxide ions are present), the base-catalyzed hydrolysis
of the paraformaldehyde starts. This strongly endothermic reaction now provides a sharp endpoint.

Introduction to Karl Fischer titration

Karl Fischer water determination is one of the worlds
most frequently applied laboratory methods. In contrast
to other water determinations, it is specific, rapid and
requires very little apparatus.
With an application range of 0.1% to 100% water,

volumetric Karl Fischer titration is used in a wide
variety of industries. Volumetry has the advantage that
not only liquid but also solid and pasty samples can be
added directly to the titration vessel. No matter whether
you would like to determine water in foods, cosmetics or
pharmaceutical products, you can never go wrong with
the Metrohm KF titrators.
Coulometry is the optimum method for water determination in liquids, solids and gases for water contents in the
trace range (10 g to 10 mg absolute water). In
addition, coulometry is an absolute method and thus no
titer determination is required.
36
For difficult samples, we offer you intelligent solutions

for sample preparation, e.g., the KF oven technique or
sample pulverization with a homogenizer integrated in
the system.
The use of automated systems pays off very quickly with

high numbers of samples. Metrohm KF Automation
offers you sophisticated techniques, not only for volumetric but also for coulometric KF titration.

890/901 Titrando
The KF titrators for the modern titration laboratory
Thanks to their simple and intuitive operation the KF
Titrandos are the optimum instruments not only for routine work but also for sophisticated applications in
the development laboratory. With the KF Titrando,
you have a titration system that can adapt to all imaginable requirements and demands no compromises.
An electrode test and the specially created safety stop
parameter prevent cell overflows during conditioning,
i.e. conditioning is stopped after a given time or after a
given volume of KF reagent has been added (laboratory
safety). The sophisticated control algorithm of the
Titrando is tailored to the characteristics of the Karl
Fischer reaction and guarantees maximum-precision
results.
The choice is up to you! Both the 901 Titrando and the
890 Titrando can be optionally controlled either as standalone systems with Touch Control or through the PC with
tiamoTM.
901 Titrando with 900 Touch Control
38
901 Titrando
In addition to the Karl Fischer mode (KFT), the 901
Titrando is also equipped with the SET mode and can
thus perform titrations at a predefined endpoint. As a
result of the high-resolution, galvanically isolated measuring interface with additional digital measuring input for
the intelligent iTrodes electrodes, it is additionally possible to perform pH measurements with a maximum of
precision. Thanks to the four MSB connectors, up to four
800 Dosino dosing systems can be connected to the 901
Titrando. These can be used not only for titration, but
also for the automated addition of sample, standard and
auxiliary solutions such as solubility promoters. Furthermore, all Liquid Handling commands are available.
Thanks to its Empty command, the Dosino may be
completely emptied; this makes it possible to dispense
with the tasks of opening and cleaning the dosing unit.
890 Titrando
The 890 Titrando offers the same high-end features as
the 901 Titrando (except for the digital measuring input),
but is restricted to the KF mode and titrates exclusively
with the proven exchange unit. In addition, up to three
800 Dosino dosing systems can be connected and used
for the automatic addition of sample, standard and auxiliary solutions.

One-touch titration
Reduce to the max that is the concept behind the
915 KF Ti-Touch. The new compact titrator for Karl
Fischer titration from Metrohm offers the maximum in
the class of stand-alone systems for routine analysis.
The sophisticated control algorithm of the 915 KF
Ti-Touch is tailored to the characteristics of the Karl
Fischer reaction and guarantees maximum-precision
results. In addition, you can select a polarized alternating
current (Ipol) or a defined voltage (Upol) to be applied to
the electrode. Both working methods ensure fast, true
results.
Different reagents require different parameters. The 915

KF Ti-Touch allows for the pertinent method to be selected for the different reagents.
Due to its simple and intuitive operation, it is the optimal
instrument for routine work.
For example, the KF icons show you at a glance whether
the instrument still needs to be conditioned or whether
you can start the water determination. The electrode test
and the safety stop parameter prevent cell run-over
during conditioning. If, for example, the electrode is not
connected correctly or the titration cell is very humid,
conditioning is stopped automatically after a given time
or after a given volume of KF reagent has been added.
This function increases work safety in your laboratory.
Automatic, contact-free reagent replacement
Replacing the used KF reagent in the titration cell may be
carried out manually using the integrated membrane
pump. Automated replacement is even more convenient.
You determine the moment and the instrument performs
the replacement automatically together with a Dosino. In
both cases, contact with harmful reagents is avoided.
The Dosino the optimum KF dosing system
Thanks to its Empty command, the Dosino may be
completely emptied; this makes it possible to eliminate
the task of opening and cleaning the dosing unit, which
is particularly annoying with KF reagents. Once the
reagent is used up, the remaining content in the cylinder
may be directly returned to the bottle or the titration
vessel. Then the empty reagent bottle is replaced, the
preparing routine may be carried out via 915 KF
Ti-Touch and the titer determination of the new reagent
is ready to be started. In contrast to the exchange unit,
repeated rinsing prior to titer determination is not necessary; this means you save on both time and reagents.

870 KF Titrino plus

Uncomplicated operation thanks to predefined
methods and formulas
Maximum precision thanks to high-resolution measuring input
Live curve for detecting side reactions
Overflow protection for enhanced work safety
USB interface for compact printer
The inexpensive 870 Titrino plus is a KF titrator for volumetric water content determination. With it, water contents from a few ppm to 100% can be determined reliably and precisely in solid, liquid and gaseous samples.
With its new user interface, which is tailored to routine
users, the 870 Titrino plus is so simple to operate that
only brief orientation periods are required. It is the ideal
titrator for routine determinations, also because of its
robustness. Titration vessel and electrode are included in
the scope of delivery.

The installation of the 870 Titrino plus is designed to be
exceptionally simple. Exchange unit, stirrer and USB compact printer are detected and configured automatically as
soon as they are connected.
Ready-to-use methods make work easier
You need only decide whether you wish to carry out a
titer, blank value or water content determination and
then start the titration with the single press of a key.
Parameters need to be adjusted only in exceptional
cases.
Mouse or keys select your favorite!
The 870 Titrino plus is the first titrator that can be controlled either per mouseclick or keyboard.
Maximum precision
Just as is the case with the high-end Titrando titrator, the
870 KF Titrino plus is equipped with a high-resolution
measuring input that guarantees results with the greatest
of precision.
The live curve brings side reactions to light
Metrohm KF titrators are standard-equipped with a live
curve display. Side reactions can thus be recognized and
suppressed in time.
Great importance is placed on work safety in the handling of the harmful KF reagents. The overflow of iodine
solution from the titration vessel is prevented by the
Conditioning options safety parameter.
Optional:
The 803 KF Titration Stand
The 803 KF Titration Stand is used for stirring and for the
replacement of the exhausted working medium. With
the integrated pump it is possible to aspirate the titrated
solution and to add new solvent without opening the
cell.

851/852 Titrando
Coulometry is the ideal method for water determination
in liquids, solids and gases when it comes to water determination in the trace range (10 g to 10 mg absolute
water). In addition, coulometry is an absolute method
and thus no titer determination is necessary.
Coulometric titrations are carried out easily and quickly
with the 851 Titrando. The 852 Titrando controls not
only coulometric, but also volumetric Karl Fischer titration.
Bromine index
It is now possible to determine bromine indexes with the
851 Titrando and the 852 Titrando. No additional
accessory parts are required for the measurements. The
conventional coulometric titration cell and the generator
electrode with diaphragm can also be used for bromine
index determination. Only the anolyte and catholyte
need to be adapted.
Automatic titration start
It can readily happen that the sample is injected into the
titration vessel without the titration having been started
beforehand. If this is the case, then the water in the
852 Titrando with 900 Touch Control
42
sample will be conditioned away and the measurement

will need to be repeated. This will no longer be a problem for you with the 851 Titrando or the 852
Titrando. The instrument starts the titration automatically, as soon as the sample is added. This way, you save
on reagents, sample and above all on precious time.
Coulometric and volumetric titrations
Should the water content of the samples be too high for
coulometric determination, this will not be a problem for
the 852 Titrando. This instrument can determine samples with water contents ranging from a few micrograms
to contents of 100% without difficulty.

756/831 KF Coulometer
The Metrohm KF coulometers are suitable for precise
water determination in the trace range (1 ppm to 10%).
They come supplied with a selection of two different
types of generator electrodes. The generator electrode
without diaphragm requires only one reagent and is
practically maintenance-free. The utilization of the generator electrode with diaphragm is preferred for the following applications: extremely low water content
(<100 g absolute water), utilization of ketone reagents
or of a high proportion of solubility promoter (>10%).
With or without a printer The choice is up to you! The
756 KF Coulometer comes equipped with a built-in thermal printer. You can, however, also connect an external
printer or connect the instrument with a PC, just as you
would with the 831 KF Coulometer.
Arguments that convince:

Live curve for early detection of possible side reactions
Simple operation thanks to dialog in German, English,
French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish.
Selection of Expert or Routine mode
Internal memory for up to 100 methods
With two RS-232C (DB9) data interfaces for connecting balance, printer and PC
Optional connection for PC keyboard and barcode
reader
Optional: Automatic reagent replacement via dosing
unit and Dosino
You receive a complete titration cell and extensive accessories with all KF coulometers. The 728 Stirrer (magnetic

run until the reagent is once again titrated until it is dry.
Recalculations are not possible and the determination
must be repeated. This costs sample and valuable time.

KF Evaporator (2.136.0200)
The KF Evaporator is used for sample preparation in Karl
Fischer titration by means of azeotropic distillation.
As with the oven method, the water is separated from
the sample matrix. Because the sample itself remains in
the evaporation chamber, the titration vessel and the
electrodes are not contaminated. Furthermore, unwanted
side reactionsand matrix effects are avoided.
KF Evaporator
860 KF Thermoprep (2.860.0010)

The 860 KF Thermoprep is designed for thermal sample
preparation in Karl Fischer titration.
Numerous substances cannot be analysed by direct Karl
Fischer titration as they are not soluble, react with the
Karl Fischer reagent or release their water only very
slowly or not until heated to high temperatures. Using
tightly sealed sample vials, the sample is inserted in the
oven. The samples can be subsequently analysed by any
volumetric or coulometric KF titrator.

Automated KF Sample Preparation

The 874 Oven Sample Processor opens up new possibilities for water content determinations in samples that
either are insoluble, cause side reactions or cannot be
introduced directly into the titration vessel for other reasons. These problems are avoided with the use of the
oven method, because the water is separated from the
difficult sample matrix.
Mode of operation of the oven technique
Each of the samples is introduced into the oven in tightly
sealed sample vials. The water is released by the heating
up of the sample and transferred into the KF cell with a
flow of carrier gas. It is there that the Karl Fischer titration
then takes place.
Sample preparation
Sample preparation for the oven technique is as simple
as possible and consists solely of weighing the sample
into the vial and then sealing it. In addition, the hermetic
sealing of the vessels with septa reliably prevents the
absorption of humidity from the ambient air.

Area of application
The oven method is suitable for liquid and solid samples
and can be used with both volumetric and coulometric
KF titrators.
The advantages of the oven method at a glance
Reproducible analysis conditions for all samples, reflected in a markedly improved precision in the results
Reduction of manual sample preparation to a minimum
Considerable time savings
No contamination of the oven or of the KF cell by the
sample, thus precluding any carry-over or memory
effects
Improved release of water from the sample, because
the carrier gas is not channeled over the sample, but
rather directly through it
Lower reagent consumption, as the titration solution
needs to be replaced only rarely
USB device the 874 USB Oven Sample Processor is
simply connected to a PC via USB port and recognized
automatically.
Optimum heating-up temperature with the help of
the temperature ramp, the optimum oven temperature
can be determined for each sample.

Simple operation Only the oven temperature, the gas
flow and the number of samples must be defined.
Reusable sample vessels After the analysis, sample
vessels can be opened, cleaned and reused.
The 885 Compact Oven Sample Changer is used for
thermal sample preparation in Karl Fischer titration. The
samples are heated in the oven to a temperature of up
to 250 C. This causes the water to vaporize and be
transported with a dry carrier gas into a titration cell in
which the analysis takes place.
Area of application and principle of the oven
method
The oven method is recommended for samples that
release their water only at higher temperatures, for poorly soluble substances and those that react with the KF
reagent.
The substance to be analyzed is placed in a tightly sealed

sample vessel on the sample rack and heated up in the
oven. A double needle pierces the septum and a dry flow
of carrier gas transports the released water into the titration cell.
The advantage of the oven method lies in the fact that
the sample itself does not enter the titration cell. This
avoids the contamination of both the oven and titration
cell, thus excluding both carry-over and memory effects
that could falsify the results of the analysis.
Small space requirements
The name of the 885 Compact Oven Sample Changer
explains its purpose: The instrument offers automation in
Great flexibility
Depending on the sample, Karl Fischer titration can be
either coulometric or volumetric. No matter which
method is used the 885 Compact Oven Sample
Changer can be operated with all stand-alone KF titrators
with sample table.
Simple operation
The instrument is controlled using the integrated keypad.
Only the oven temperature and the gas flow must be
defined and the number of the samples to be determined
must be established.
Reusable sample vessels
Screw-cap vials are used with the 885 Compact Oven
Sample Changer. After the measurement, these sample
vessels can be opened, cleaned and subsequently reused
without difficulty. Only the septum must be replaced
after it has been pierced.

Introduction to automation
The automation of potentiometric measurement
methods has gained enormously in importance as it
becomes ever less frequently the case that simple determinations are sufficient. In contrast to purely manual
determination, the fully automatic alternative is very precise, safe and time-saving.
With large numbers of samples, the thought of automation of the analysis that is always the same quickly
presents itself, particularly since qualified personnel can
be utilized more efficiently when the routine is taken over
by a completely automated system. Even in the case of
smaller series or with many different analyses, automation
can help achieve more rapid and more reproducible
results.
A uniform sample preparation that can be guaranteed
only with a completely automated system ensures that
the results will continue to be identical independent of
the user even over long periods of time. Typical preparatory steps from everyday lab work such as Liquid Handling (pipetting, transferring), dilution, addition, tempering, degassing, pulverization, filtration, filling and much
more can proceed just as automatically as the subsequent analytical determination.
One aspect not to be neglected is that of safety in the
laboratory. The frequent handling of typical laboratory
equipment (pipettes, burets, etc.) and the exposure to
aggressive chemicals requires the complete concentration
of the laboratory employee. When automated systems
are used with sample preparation, the contact with
hazardous substances and solvents is minimized, thus
massively enhancing occupational safety.
Metrohm offers a large selection of instruments for the
automation of your analysis, including sample
preparation. On the following pages, you will learn more
about the various sample changers and the completely
preconfigured analysis systems.

The 869 Compact Sample Changer offers automation in
The 869 Compact Sample Changer offers the rapid and
simple automation of Titrino and Titrino plus applications. For multiple determinations and small sample
series, this sample changer is just the right choice. A
wide variety of titrations can be performed fully automatically in a total of 12 positions and the electrode can
be cleaned and/or conditioned between the determinations. In order to keep the consumption of titrant and
solvents as low as possible, slender sample beakers are
used as standard equipment that enable low-waste and
rapid titration with even small volumes.
64
Thanks to the large and clearly organized live display,

the current status of the sample series can be recognized
directly and important samples can be given preferential
analysis at any time. In light of the fact that laboratory
space is expensive and rare, the compact sample changer
requires no more support surface than that of a commercially available laboratory balance.
Various method templates can be used as the basis for
creating and storing application-specific methods. Only
four parameters need to be set on the 869 Compact
Sample Changer for this purpose. In addition, the
methods can also be printed out or saved electronically
via USB (OTG) connector. Communication between Compact Sample Changer and Titrino / Titrino plus takes place
via remote signals with an additional control box or PC
being required.
The titration head of the sample changer offers space for
an 802 Stirrer propeller stirrer and two additional
electrodes. The propeller stirrer can be connected directly
to the instrument and is also monitored by it. Titrant and
auxiliary reagent can be added with the buret tips that
have already been inserted. The 869 Compact Sample
Changer can be equipped with rinsing and aspiration
pumps upon request. Despite its inexpensive price, no
corners were cut with respect to safety with the
869 Compact Sample Changer. The safety shield protects
the user against inadvertent contact with chemicals.

Precise and reproducible results
XYZ Sample Changer with one workstation, one membrane pump and rinsing station for the automatic processing of routine samples in large numbers. The control
takes place via computer operation using the tiamo
titration software.
Time savings and improved operating sequences
The advantages of a sample changer lie not only in the
time savings for the laboratory personnel: Automatic
systems control operating sequences, prevent errors and
thus improve reproducibility and accuracy. Independent
of the time of day, the system works through the
prepared samples (automatic sample preparation, Liquid
Handling or sample processing) and guarantees thereby
the complete traceability of the individual steps.
The 898 XYZ Sample Changer convinces with its speed

and the number of samples that can be processed
without supervision. Two sample racks with 41 x 120 mL
beakers or 24 x 250 mL beakers each can be fitted on the
898 XYZ SC and processed continuously there. As soon
as the processing of the first sample rack has been completed, it can be replaced while operations are running.
Whereas beakers, sample racks, titration head and
tubing are already included in the package, stirrers, propeller stirrers and Ti Stand (if needed) must be ordered
separately in accordance with the titrator.

USB Sample Processors

814 USB Sample Processor
In todays world, single determinations are simply no
longer enough!
In modern-day laboratories single determinations no
longer meet the requirements. Each and every result has
to be confirmed by multiple determinations in order to
meet the tough quality standards. An automatic
titrator without sample changer is therefore basically just
a semiautomatic titrator because it is not able to carry
out a double or threefold determination by itself: each
titration requires the user to take action, which is both
tedious and time-consuming.
Thanks to its compact design, even complex tasks can be

carried out reliably on the smallest possible footprint.
Depending on the sample matrix, the titrated sample
solution is aspirated and the titration equipment is
rinsedusingmembrane or peristaltic pumps. These
are either mounted already inside the instrument or
available as peripheral devices.
Depending on the users preference, the 814 USB
Sample Processor can be controlled by Touch Control,
the tiamoTM titration or the MagIC Net chromatography
software. The method examples provided make creating
your own methods perfectly easy.
The benefits of a sample changer are not just found in

the time saved by lab personnel: automated systems
control operation sequences and thus improve reproducibility and accuracy. Errors can be reduced to a
minimum. The system processes the prepared samples
irrespective of the time of day. No matter whether automatic sample preparation, liquid handling or sample
processing -the 814 USB Sample Processor masters everything that used to be the exclusive domain of laboratory
robots.

2.814.0010 814 USB Sample Processor (1T/1P)

Minimum effort with maximum sample throughput!
In view of the large number of samples and ever more
elaborate preparation steps, the use of robots is becoming ever more important, even in analytical laboratories.
The larger the number of steps per sample that must be
completed, the more their professional automation pays
off. It has been a long time since this merely involved
switching from one beaker to the next in order to
analyze the sample more and more it is the simplification of the entire sample processing, from the
preparation to the multiple determination, that is demanded.
Reproducibility and accuracy are the alpha and omega in
analysis and are thus numbered among the main requirements of automation. Robotic Sample Processors make
childs play of the basic operations of modern automation,
e.g.,pipetting, transferring, aliquoting, dosing and
dispensing.
tioned on the rack, so that series as large as possible can

be processed. Depending on the application and the
vessel size used, this maximum is between 28 and 228
positions (standard racks).
Thanks to the compact design, even more complex tasks
can be managed reliably. Parallel processing of the
samples is accomplished easily and conveniently with the
Robotic Sample Processor XL. While the pipetted sample
volume is titrated at an external workstation (optional),
the pH of the prepared samples can also be determined,
for example, or the next sample can already undergo
preparation. This means the time per analysis is reduced
to a minimum.
Depending on the requirements, the 815 Robotic USB
Sample Processor XL can be operated using Touch
Control, the tiamoTM titration software or the MagIC
Net chromatography software. Method development is

diluted and titrated.
System includes the following instruments:
1 x 864 Robotic Balance Sample Processor XL
1 x 905 Titrando
3 x 800 Dosino
1 x 786 Swing Head
1 x 786 Swing Head strengthened
1 x 802 Stirrer
1 x 843 Pump Station (Peristaltic)
The 864 Robotic Balance Sample Processor TAN/TBN

offers fast and convenient sample preparation combined
with theanalysis of petrochemical products in one
system.
The sample is placed in a beaker on the sample rack and
an aliquote of it is pipetted and weighed into the titration
beaker fully automatically. After sample transfer
andweighing, the sample is diluted with solvent. The
TAN or TBN value is then determined by titration. After
the analysis the titration beaker is emptied and the titration equipment is cleaned directly inside the beaker.
The sample rack can accommodate 20 sample and titration beakers (6.1459.300) each as well as 20 pipetting
tips (6.1562.240) for sample transfer. These 10 mL tips
are picked up, filled and stripped off after weighing so
that cross-contamination-free sample transfer is
absolutely guaranteed. Time and amount of work per
sample is minimized. The only thing that needs to be
ensured is that enough sample is in the beaker.
The combined automation of sample preparation and
analysis in a single system increases reproducibility and
accuracy of results as the sample is weighed in where it
will be analysed. If necessary, the equipment can be
cleaned more intensely by using an additional external
rinsing station combined with a second 843 Pump Station.
The complete preparation and analysis system is controlled by the approved titration software tiamo. Each
preparation step (including the sample amount weighed
in) is documented in a database as are the titration
results for each single sample.

Robotic Soliprep
The Metrohm automation program has long offered you
the opportunity of transferring your titration applications
to a completely automated system. The Robotic Soliprep
is a new version of the proven 815 Robotic USB Sample
Processor that makes everyday routine work easier. The
main area of utilization for the Robotic Soliprep systems
is professional sample preparation. The Robotic Soliprep
family is comprised of four packages that cover the different standard sample preparation steps. All Soliprep
systems offer the possibility of homogenizing solid samples quickly and conveniently.
Up to 59 samples can be processed in a single run with
the Robotic Titration Soliprep. The sample needs only
be weighed into the beaker and placed on the sample
rack. The reduction of the sample takes place subsequently with the Polytron 1300 D. After homogenization,
the sample is titrated at the other workstation.
Up to 24 samples can be placed on the rack of the
Robotic Filtration Soliprep. The reduction of the sample takes place with the Polytron 1300 D. During the
following preparation steps, the Polytron aggregate is
cleaned in the external rinsing station. After the homogenization, an aliquot of the sample is aspirated and subsequently filtered through a commercially available syringe
filter (Luer connector). The Dosino used for the sample
transport doses the sample at uniform speed onto the
filter, thus ensuring optimum filtration results. Needles
and filters are replaced for each sample and disposed of
safely in the collection container after use.
Up to 10 samples can be placed on the rack of the
Robotic Flexible Soliprep. Further steps proceed as
already described for the Robotic Filtration Soliprep. The
filtrate can subsequently be pipetted, either directly or
after additional dilution, in septum-sealed vials
(11.6 mm). After completion of the series, the prepared
sam-ples can be easily removed from the sample rack in
order to set the samples on the analyzer (e.g., IC or
HPLC).
Up to 24 samples can be placed on the Robotic
Flexible Soliprep for LC. After homogenization, an
aliquot of the sample is aspirated using a metal-free plastic needle and subsequently transported through a commercially available syringe filter (Luer connector) and the
Luer connector directly into the sample loop of the liquid
chromatograph (LC).
The control of this preparation system takes place completely using the proven and flexible tiamo titration
software or the MagIC Net chromatography software
that can also document the individual preparation steps
for each sample in a database.

Automation peripheral devices

Membrane pumps
Liquids must frequently be pumped during titrations. The
aspiration of the titered-out sample solution is particularly
convenient with automation. Following automatic runthrough of the preprogrammed rinsing and aspiration
cycles, the cleaned sample beakers and the electrodes
that were used are available immediately for the next
determination. The waste is transferred to canisters standing by for convenient disposal.
The 843 Pump Station (membrane) has two built-in

membrane pumps. These can be controlled either via the
interface either directly using remote signals or manually
at the press of a button.
The two instruments are available in different versions
that differ primarily with respect to the accessories supplied with them.
The 823 Membrane Pump is a pump that can be used

for many different applications. It was designed especially for operations and laboratory application and can
be used for a broad spectrum of applications. It is suitable for pumping liquid media of any type and opens up
a wide spectrum of applications with a flow rate of at
least 450 mL/min.

Peristaltic pumps
Liquids must frequently be pumped during titrations. The
aspiration of the titered-out sample solution is particularly
convenient with automation. Following automatic runthrough of the preprogrammed rinsing and aspiration
cycles, the cleaned sample beakers and the electrodes
that were used are available immediately for the next
determination. The waste is transferred to canisters standing by for convenient disposal. A membrane pump can
no longer be used with liquids that contain solids such as
silver chloride precipitates.
The 843 Pump Station (peristaltic) has two built-in

peristaltic pumps. These can be controlled either via the
interface either directly using remote signals or manually
at the press of a button. The two instruments are available in various versions that differ primarily with respect to
the accessories supplied with them.
A peristaltic pump such as the 772 Pump Unit is to be

preferred in such cases. Here, the user has the opportunity of using pump tubing made of a wide variety of
materials and thus to adjust the resistance of the tubing
to the medium to be pumped in optimal fashion. One
tubing for aqueous applications and one for organic
solvents are shipped as standard equipment along with
the Pump Unit.

849 Level Control

Additional equipment for Sample Processors for monitoring the filling level of rinsing or waste canisters via
Remote. It prevents pumps from running dry and/or
canisters from overflowing and is suitable for use with
aqueous solutions, solvents and suspensions.
The 849 Level Control can register both high liquid levels
(e.g. warning that a waste container is about to overflow) and low liquid levels (e.g. storage container is
about to run dry). Thanks to the conductivity measurement technique the level sensors can be used in different
media.
The sensor signal is registered by the Level Control and
transmitted as a signal level to a remote connection of an
automated system. This means that the 849 Level
Control can be used in all Metrohm systems in which it is
possible to scan remote lines.

One standard cable is sufficient for communication
with all Metrohm instruments
Additional device for controlling up to four external
devices such as pumps or valves with mains connection
or direct current consumers via TTL signals, including
connection cable for devices with a 25-pin remote
interface.
Automated systems require the switching of heaters,
pumps, valves, thermostats or other external devices.
This requires the use of relays to switch mains or lowvoltage supplies on and off as necessary. The switching
should take place via remote lines from a Titrino,
Titrando, sample changer or other Metrohm instrument.
The Relay Box meets all these requirements on a very
small footprint.
731 Relay Box
The Relay Box provides four voltage outputs. Two

115/230 V AC outputs are used for switching the mains
voltage. The maximum power delivery per output is
1150 W, so that the instrument can also be used for
providing power to high-consumption devices such as
heating baths or thermostats.
In addition, the Relay Box has two DC outputs, whose
voltages can be set to 5, 10, 18 or 24V.
Various Metrohm devices can be connected to the Relay
Box via their remote interfaces. Regardless of the type of
device, a single standard cable is all that is required for
communication. The Relay Box scans the 14 input lines
and switches the assigned voltage outputs accordingly.

786 Swing Head

Additional equipment for the Robotic Sample Processor
XL for transferring / pipetting from smaller sample vessels
into larger titration vessels on a rack or into an external
titration cell that can be attached to the side of the work
station.
With a Swing Head, the number of samples and their
sizes can be varied within a wide range. This increased
flexibility results from the considerable extension of the
range of positions that can be reached on the Sample
Processor. The Swing Headworks with highest accuracy:it
moves pipette / transfer tips from one position to the
next, millimetre by millimetre. Even sample transfer into
an external titration cell is carried out fully automatically,
thus greatly increasing the flexibility of the Sample
Processor. While the transferred sample is analyzed in the
cell, the next sample is already being prepared; this
means an additional gain in time. In addition, the Swing
Head can also be equipped with Robotic Arms that can
take up and eject tools or serve as a holder for a homogenizer for comminuting tablets.

Determination of total metal and metal species
Voltammetry instruments from Metrohm are modest in
terms of servicing requirements, procurement price and
dimensions, but nonetheless great in their detection
capabilities.
Traces of toxic heavy metals can be analyzed in extremely
low concentrations without great effort. The detection
limits are to be found without exception in the ppt
range, which means that the necessary sensitivity can be
achieved in all cases. Voltammetry is one of the few
methods in existence for the speciation of analytes.
Metal analyses can be carried out with equivalent or
better sensitivity, at a fraction of the procurement price
of an AAS or ICP instrument. An additional plus for
voltammetry are the low costs of ownership. Except for
small quantities of reagents, only tiny amounts of highpurity nitrogen are required. No expensive flammable
gases, no conversion of the laboratory with special gas
supply and flue gas outlets, no expensive lamps and no
time-consuming calibration of the analysis system.
Applications that convince
Analysis of traces of metals
In addition to the determination of total concentrations,
as is usual with spectroscopic methods, with voltammetry
it is also possible to specify between the different oxidation stages of metal ions or the biological availability of
heavy metals. A distinction can be made between free
and bound metal ions. This makes voltammetry an indispensable element of environmental analysis. It is not
possible for spectroscopy to yield comparable statements
except after tedious separation of the metal species.
Thanks to its compact dimensions, the instrument can
also be used in mobile laboratories.
Samples with high ion concentrations present no problem for voltammetry. Voltammetry is predestined for the
analysis of:
Water, waste water and sea water

Foods
Salts, pure chemicals
Galvanic baths
90
Specific analysis of organics

It is not only metals that can be determined, but also
various organic compounds. The technology is used in
organic chemistry, e.g. for the analysis of contaminations, or in pharmaceutical chemistry for the determination of active ingredient concentrations.
Examples of interesting determinations:
4-carboxybenzaldehyde in terephthalic acid

Free styrol in polystyrene
Vitamins in juices, vitamin preparations
Determination of anions
Some anions can also be determined with voltammetry.
Of particular interest is the analysis of the species cyanide,sulfide,nitrite,nitrate andiodide.-

909 UV Digester
Digestion is indispensable for the reliable determination

of traces and ultratraces of metals in natural samples, as
organic sample components are generally disruptive to
analysis. The 909 UV Digester was designed for the
digestion of suspended particle-free water samples containing low to medium contents of organic material, e.g.,
natural surface waters. As a result of its low heavy metal
content, contaminations can very easily lead to disruptions during determination. Liquid biological samples
such as urine or some foodstuffs such as fruit juices and
alcoholic beverages can however also be digested with a
modified procedure. A great advantage of the UV digestion is that only small amounts of digestion reagents
need to be used and therefore the blank values can be
kept low.
12 samples can be radiated simultaneously in the 909 UV
Digester.

CVS Cyclic Voltammetric Stripping

Introduction CVS
Cyclic Voltammetric Stripping Analysis (CVS) and Cyclic
Pulse Voltammetric Stripping Analysis (CPVS) are
methods widely used in the electroplating industry for
the determination of organic additives in electroplating
baths. A robust, inexpensive rotating disk electrode of
simple construction made of platinum is installed in the
VA stand for these analyses in place of the Multi-Mode
electrode that is otherwise used. This method is an indispensable part of production control for many types of
technical coatings and particularly in the manufacturing
of printed circuit boards for electronic equipment. The
most important fields of application are acidic copper
baths and tin-lead baths. Quantitative determination of
the additives takes place indirectly via their influence on
the plating of the main component of the electroplating
bath. As the measurement utilizes a procedure that corresponds to the production process, the activity of the
additives and thus their effectiveness in the electroplating
process is measured directly.
The quantification of the various types of additives requires special calibration techniques, all of which are
available in Metrohm CVS systems. The so-called
brighteners are determined with the aid of the Linear
96
Approximation Technique (LAT) or the Modified Linear

Approximation Technique (MLAT). Dilution Titration
(DT) is used for the determination of the suppressors
while levelers are determined via Response Curve (RC).
The concentrations of the additives can be determined
exactly with CVS or CPVS. The effective concentration of
the respective additive in the bath sample is displayed
and printed out directly in mL of additive per L of bath.
Topping-up to achieve nominal concentration thus can
be carried out very precisely as a result. This guarantees
a continuous, malfunction-free production process. The
accuracy of the analysis results in particular have led to
the general acceptance of the method in the electroplating industry.
Other methods, e.g., the classical Hull cell method, do
not allow the concentration to be determined, but only
provide an assessment of the quality of the deposited
metal layer.
One of the pre-installed methods is loaded to perform
the determination. The analysis can be started once a
few parameters have been adjusted. Pre-finished
methods that have been formulated in our Applications
Laboratory for the most important bath types of leading
manufacturers are supplied along with the instrument.

Biodiesel has relatively little storage stability, as it (like
natural fats and oils) is slowly oxidized by atmospheric
oxygen. The substances that arise thereby could lead to
damage in the motor. It is for this reason that oxidation
stability is an important default parameter in a series of
standards that define the minimum quality standards of
biodiesel. This determination can be carried out simply
and reliably with the 893 Professional Biodiesel Rancimat.

Process analyzers
Introduction
NIR process analyzers offer information about chemical
processes practically in real time, no matter how harsh
the processing conditions may be. The process sample
interface is dictated by the sample type and process conditions. Contact transmission and reflectance probes are
used for analyzing clear to opaque liquids and solids.
Noncontact reflectance measurements are performed on
materials transported in hoppers, transport and conveyor
lines. Generally, NIR light from the instrument is transferred to the process sample interface using fiber optics.
The number of fibers used in the fiber optic bundle is
increased in order to maintain analytical performance as
the light scattering properties of the process sample
increase.
Single-fiber process NIR analyzers are typically employed
to analyze clear liquids. Microbundle process NIR analyzers monitor slightly scattering liquid media, suspensions, and drying processes. Full-bundle process NIR
analyzers are used for the most challenging of applications such as monitoring the drying of hydrated media or
analyzing low-level constituents.

The length of the fiber optic interface can be from 1 m

(large fiber bundle) to 150 m (single fiber optic). The use
of longer fiber optic lengths enables a process analyzer
to be set up outside of electrically classified or safety
classified areas or under harsh operating conditions such
as those with large temperature fluctuations. Up to nine
separate process streams or sampling points can be
monitored using a multiplexer NIR Process Analyzer from
Metrohm NIRSystems. Multiplexing decreases both the
costs per measuring point and the overall implementation
costs for an NIR process analyzer.
Metrohm NIRSystems analyzers, software, application
support and services meet a full range of process industry
needs process development, raw materials testing,
process monitoring, endpoint determination, fluid bed
drying, quality control and stability testing.

940 Professional IC Vario systems Introduction
Intelligent ion chromatography
The 940 Professional IC Vario is the second generation of
professional ion chromatography systems with intelligent
system components that are optimally coordinated with
one another. The path from the sample to the precise
result has become simpler, as the system itself is thinking
during the procedure and even making logical decisions.
Intelligence in the hardware of the 940 Professional IC

Vario:
- iPump
- iDetector
- iReactor
- iCell
- intelligent Dosino
Intelligence in the MagIC Net software
Intelligence in the Metrosep iColumns
These are the intelligent system components that monitor all functions, optimize them and, if desired, also
document them in accordance with FDA requirements.
The configuration of the system is as simple as possible,
as the components log in automatically and make all
relevant information available to the MagIC Net soft-
ware. Optimum operation of the 940 Professional IC

Vario and the results are both monitored. If a parameter
lies outside of the specified range, then the user will be
informed via e-mail or SMS. The 940 Professional IC Vario
is a complex and very high-performance system for
which simple and intuitive operation is provided by the
MagIC Net software. This applies for experienced users
with complex applications and sophisticated calculations
as well as for users who value one-button operation.
Every user level is possible. Innovation, flexibility and
exceptionally simple operation result from the intelligence of the 940 Professional IC Vario, the 942 Extension
Module Vario, the 858 Professional Sample Processor
and the MagIC Net software.
Online configurator
With just a few mouseclicks, this software tool can be
used to configure any imaginable IC system down to the
last detail. The path to the tailored solution for individual
requirements in ion chromatography has thus become
even simpler.
It is precisely here that the new online configurator provides the user with support. Starting from the analysis
requirements, the user selects the necessary modules
from the comprehensive ion chromatography array on
offer from Metrohm and specifies a system, step by step,
that optimally meets his requirements. Once the solution
has been specified down to the last detail, the user can
print out his system as a photo-realist graph in PDF
format. In addition, he receives a detailed list of the
modules and components contained in the respective
system along with their order numbers.
Access to the new online configurator is through ic940.

Metrohm Inline Ultrafiltration and Dialysis

Metrohm Inline Ultrafiltration
In modern ion chromatography, it is recommended that
all samples be filtered before injection. Separation
columns with particle sizes of less than 10 m require
absolutely particle-free sample solutions. Unfiltered solutions can lead to pressure increases on the column and
thus to a certain extent to a massively shortened lifetime
for the separation column. The usual manual filtration
takes place with disposable filter cartridges with pore
sizes of 0.45 m or smaller. These become blocked very
quickly, particularly with samples containing minuscule
particles. As an alternative, sample changers are also
used with filter caps. Here the pore size is often larger
than it is with the disposable filters. These are expensive
and there is also a danger of blockage associated with
them. These problems are a thing of the past with Metrohm Inline Ultrafiltration, a membrane separation technique. The samples are placed directly on the turntable.
The sample stream is guided into the lower chamber of
the ultrafiltration cell and along the membrane to the
waste container at the time the samples are processed.
The peristaltic pump generates an underpressure in the
upper chamber of the cell, thus causing the sample solution to be suctioned through the ultrafiltration membrane.
The filtered sample solution reaches the injection loop
and is subsequently injected. Less than 20% of the original solution is removed as filtrate, the remainder flows
directly into the waste. The formation of a filter cake that
could lead to a jamming of the membrane is largely prevented by this and by the geometric alignment of the
cell. Metrohm Inline Ultrafiltration is especially suitable
for samples with small to medium loads, e.g., drinking
water, surface water, sewage, digestion solutions, extractions.
Ultrafiltration
Metrohm Inline Dialysis

More severely loaded samples require complex and
work-intensive preparatory steps prior to their actual
determination. For this, Metrohm Inline Dialysis permits a
significant rationalization of the entire analysis. The only
condition the sample must meet: It must be present in
liquid form or be able to be transformed into one and be
largely homogenous. Larger-sized particles are also to be
removed with centrifuging. Afterwards, the sample solution is dialyzed in the dialysis cell in accordance with the
method patented by Metrohm (European Patent 0 820
804, US Patent 5,861,097). Practically complete dialysis
is achieved, thanks to this special Inline Stopped Flow
Dialysis method. That means that the acceptor solution
exhibits the same ion concentration as the original sample (equilibrium dialysis). Afterwards, the acceptor
solution is injected directly into the ion chromatograph
and analyzed. In the case of ultrafiltration, a pressure
differential causes the sample solution to be filtered
through the membrane, but with dialysis it is the difference in concentration between the two sides that is the
driving force. The ions to be determined diffuse through
the membrane, but no sample solution is pressed
through the membrane. Accordingly, no filter cake is
formed that could block the membrane. With the aid of
this technology, it is possible to determine anions and
cations, even in cutting oil emulsions, biodiesel, milk
products or bodily fluids such as blood and urine. If the
system is programmed in such a way that the next sample is dialyzed during the current run, then the total
analysis time corresponds to that of a direct injection.

the acceptor solution and the sample solution

Suppression repeatability
A fresh suppressor cartridge is used for each measurement with the MSM Metrohm Suppressor Module.
This ensures that one is always working with a cation
exchanger that provides full performance: uninterrupted
use today, tomorrow and for years into the future. The
suppressor is distinguished by its pressure stability, it is
100% solvent-resistant and captivates by the length of its
lifetime. Because no sensitive membranes are used, the
suppressor achieves equilibrium and is ready for use in no
time at all. It is only this way that a 10-year guarantee
can be provided for the MSM.
The Metrohm Suppressor Module is inexpensive and
robust. The fact that repeatability of the measurements
with the MSM is excellent is shown in the chromatograms:

Sequential suppression
Sequential suppression is the chemical suppression combination using the MSM, MSM-HC, MSM-LC with
Metrohm CO2 Suppression (MCS). This makes it possible
to detect anions with carbonate/hydrogen carbonate
eluents at the low background conductivity of hydroxide
eluents.
The removal of CO2 prevents the carbonate equilibrium
from having a negative influence on the peak areas. The
success: Up to 50% larger peak areas (and thus lower
detection limits) result with the same concentration and
the same sample volume. No carbonate peak also means
no irritating interferences during the quantification of
certain analyte anions. Chloride and carbonate coelute
on many polystyrene-divinylbenzene columns, for
example. This problem is now a thing of the past, thanks
to the use of the CO2 suppressor.
The extensive absence of the injection peak improves the
determination of the rapidly eluting anions, e.g., of fluoride. Even though the separation of injection peak and
fluoride peak is already very good on polyalcohol
columns, the detection limit can be improved even more
when the CO2 suppressor is used. In addition, considerably larger sample volumes can be input, as there is
practically no injection peak more to be seen.
No suppressor rotor or SPM rotor has been pre-installed.

The rotors can be ordered individually in accordance

940 Professional IC Vario instruments Introduction
940 Professional IC Vario a system of innovative
and intelligent components that are optimally
coordinated with one another!
Configuration: The configuration of the system is as simple as possible, as the components log in automatically
and make all relevant information available to the MagIC
Net software.
Monitoring: The system monitors and optimizes all functions and documents them in accordance with FDA
requirements upon request. Optimum operation of the
940 Professional IC Vario and the results are both monitored. If a parameter lies outside of the specified range,
then the user will be informed via e-mail or SMS.
Inline Sample Preparation: The path from the sample to
the precise result has become faster, as now even complex sample preparation steps are carried out inline and
automatically. The system optimizes the sample preconcentration or the sample dilution automatically if
required.
Free detector selection: The detection type can be selected to suit. That is the reason why no detector is included
in the scope of delivery of the Professional IC Vario instruments.

Inline Eluent Preparation Introduction

Inline Eluent Preparation
Inline Eluent Preparation increases the duration of unattended operation in that with this system, the exhausted
eluent is refilled fully automatically while the ion chromatograph is in operation. The eluent is diluted in portions with ultrapure water from an eluent concentrate for
this purpose.
For automatic Inline Eluent Preparation, the 940 Professional IC Vario intelligent ion chromatography systems or
the instruments in the Compact IC line need only be
expanded to include a 941 Eluent Production Module.
While the latter monitors the eluent fill level, the 800
Dosino is responsible for all dosing and Liquid Handling
tasks.
Tests with injections of 250 g/L standard solutions,
spread out over a time period of approximately 20 days,
have demonstrated outstanding stability with respect to
retention times. After more than 800 sample injections,
the relative standard deviations for a series of anions and
cations were less than 0.55 and 0.41 percent, respectively. During a test sequence over a 24-hour period, the
precision of the retention times for anions and cations
were better than 0.09 and 0.08 percent, respectively. In
short, Inline Eluent Preparation with the 941 Eluent Production Module increases the reproducibility of retention
times, thus permitting the exact analysis of anions and
cations over extended periods, and does so without
manual eluent production.
188
Ion chromatography

The 941 Eluent Production Module enables the automatic production of an eluent. It enables continuous
working without manual intervention and guarantees
stable retention times. It can be combined with all
Metrohm IC instruments and is monitored by MagIC Net.
The 941 Eluent Production Module is equipped for the

production of an eluent and contains an 800 Dosino.
Additional eluents can be produced and monitored when
it is expanded to include an 800 Dosino with the IC
equipment for additional eluents (6.5330.090).
In addition, it offers the possibility of directly connecting
an ultrapure water system (ELGA PURELAB flex 5 or flex
6).

Professional IC Vario Hyphenated systems

IC Vario coupling techniques Introduction
The world of ion chromatography is extended considerably when Metrohm IC is coupled with other analysis methods, sample preparation techniques or detection
systems.
The possibilities are practically unlimited. Any system that
can process or supply aqueous solutions as samples can
be coupled to Metrohm IC instruments.
This means that ion chromatography can be combined
with Metrohm titrators and measuring instruments to
form hyphenated systems. These TitrIC Vario or VoltIC
Vario systems enable, for example, the entire water analysis, down to ion balance, simultaneously from a single
sample. Additional typical examples include the coupling
of the IC with MS or ICP-MS, the Combustion IC and air
monitoring systems.

Automation in ion chromatography

Overview of IC automation
Sample changers
Automation in ion chromatography ranges all the way
from simple automatic sample injection to complex sample preparation with combined methods. It must be
possible to process sample quantities ranging from a few
L to several mL. A number of sample changers with
different areas of application are available for this purpose.
The 858 Professional Sample Processor is more than just
a sample changer. Equipped with pumps, high-pressure
valve and Dosinos, it makes an integral contribution to
Inline Sample Preparation and Liquid Handling.
Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation (MISP)

Samples such as milk, chocolate, caustic soda, biodiesel
or heavily contaminated waste waters require sample
preparation before they can be analyzed with IC.
Together with the 858 Professional Sample Processor, the
940 Professional IC Vario offers extensive possibilities for
completely automated Inline Sample Preparation, e.g.,
Inline Ultrafiltration, Inline Dialysis, Inline Preconcentration,
Inline Matrix Elimination, Inline Matrix Neutralization and
Inline Calibration.
In addition to the 858 Professional Sample Processor, the

889 IC Sample Center, the 919 IC Autosampler plus, the
863 Compact IC and the entire series of the 814 and 815
Sample Processors are available from the titration range.

Additional Sample Processors for IC

Even more flexibility and choice!
Even the USB Sample Processors of the titration segment
can be actuated with MagIC Net. This means that there
are practically no limits to automation in ion chromatography. Whether it be small or large sample vessels,
whether it be at room temperature or cooled, whether it
be automatic sample preparation with one or two sample changer towers the answer in ion chromatography
is always:
Yes, we can do it!
The system works through the prepared samples, no

matter what time of day it is. Whether it be automatic
sample preparation, Liquid Handling or sample processing this Sample Processor generation controls everything that one previously associated only with laboratory robots.
Depending on preference, the USB Sample Processor can
be controlled not only with MagIC Net but also with
Touch Control, PC Control or conveniently with the
tiamoTM titration software.
The advantages of a sample changer lie not only in the

time savings for the laboratory personnel: Automatic
systems control operating sequences and thus improve
reproducibility and accuracy. Errors can be reduced
to a minimum.

Liquid Handling in ion chromatography

Liquid Handling in IC Introduction
Sample input Inline Sample Preparation
In the beginning was the syringe manual sample injection continues to be used today. In most cases, however,
the samples are transferred automatically into the ion
chromatograph. It begins with the simple peristaltic
pump that pumps the sample solution to the injector.
Additional components, e.g., valves, filtration and dialysis cells, neutralization modules, etc. thus pave the way
to Inline Sample Preparation. The use of the 800 Dosino
as module for sample transfer, also and in particular for
the exact dosing of several solutions and different volumes, represents yet another massive extension of these
possibilities. Logical and flexible dilution that means
free selection of dilution factor and repeated dilution of
the sample when the result lies outside of the calibration
range high-precision Partial-Loop Injection methods
and automatic calibration with variable preconcentration
enables a calibrated working range of up to six decades
(e.g., 10 ppt to 10 ppm); these are only a few of the
many applications that only became possible with the
advent of the 800 Dosino.
IC equipment for Liquid Handling
MISP made simple. The IC equipments contain all of the
parts required for the respective sample preparation
method. This way you can be sure that the method also
works.
