Product Introduction
The 940 series Ion Chromatography System (940 Professional IC Vario) is a high-end modular high-pressure ion chromatograph from Metrohm (Switzerland), designed for research and complex method development applications. The system features a modular design and can be freely configured with analysis channels, gradient modes, detectors, and inline sample preparation solutions by adding the 942 Extension Module Vario and various upgrade components, enabling parallel analysis of anions, cations, and anion-cation combinations, and supporting multi-channel parallel operation to increase sample throughput. The instrument is controlled by MagIC Net software, complies with GLP and FDA requirements, and is suitable for ion analysis in environmental, food, chemical, power, electronics, and other industries.
