Automated Combustion System for Ion Chromatography

Sample Preparation for IC
The AQF is a fully automated combustion system for the preparation of liquid and solid samples, for analysis by Ion Chromatography for Sulfur, Fluorine, Bromine, Chlorine and Iodine. The AQF offers significantly improved measurement quality, while reducing total analysis time and costs for sample handling. The AQF performs its functions of combustion and absorbtion simultaneously to the analysis operation of the Ion Chromatograph, further reducing total analysis time .

    Advantages of sample preparation by AQF are:

  • Fully automated system: Combustion, Absorption, Injection to the Ion Chromatograph are fully automated.
  • Quick operation: ABC (automatic boat controller) provides quick operation. Multiple samples can be run for each combustion, allowing for optimization of sample size.
  • High accuracy: Fully integrated absorption unit (GA-100) assures sample integrity.
