Applications
The combustion ion chromatograph system for environmental analysis applications, including PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) consists of the AQF-5000H automatic quick furnace (from Nittoseiko Analytech), which combusts samples and collects the resulting components; the IC-150 ion chromatograph, which quantifies the collected components; and the C-IC Solution software, which centrally manages both instruments. With the C-IC Solution software, analysis schedules can be created and measurement data managed via one window, which helps reduce data input and operating errors. It also includes a template compliant with EPA Method 1621, the method specified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for analyzing adsorbable organic fluorine in liquid samples. The template can be used to measure the total amount of PFAS.
The combustion ion chromatograph system now being released uses the new C-IC Solution software that improves the efficiency of analytical operations by providing a single interface for configuring analysis conditions, creating analysis schedules, checking/managing measurement results data, and other process steps. The Nexera IC ion chromatograph includes functionality for automatically diluting concentrated samples, which reduces the work involved.
