Product Introduction
The ECO IC is an entry-level compact ion chromatograph from Metrohm (Model 2.925.0020), designed for routine analysis of anions, cations, organic acids and polar substances. The instrument comes standard with a conductivity detector, a Metrohm Suppressor Module (MSM) and MagIC Net chromatography workstation software, enabling a complete analysis workflow from separation to detection in a single system. It is an ideal choice for routine water quality analysis and university teaching.
Main Technical Specifications
- Model / Order No.: Eco IC (2.925.0020)
- Detector: Built-in conductivity detector
