Metrohm 883 Basic IC Plus

The major anions in water samples are routinely measured with the Metrohm 883 Basic IC plus. Fluoride, chloride, bromide, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and sulfate are separated with a mobile phase (3.2 mmol/L Na2CO3 and 1.0 mmol/L NaHCO3) across a Metroselp A Supp 5 anion exchange column. The detection is based on a conductivity measurement. The system uses an ion suppressor for the reduction of the baseline and an increase in the sensitivity.

Spektrum einer Ionenchromatographie mit Signalhöher (y-Achse) aufgetragen gegenüber der Rententionszeit (x-Achse). Auf einen kleinen Fluoridpeak folgt ein hoher Chloridpeak, dann ein kleiner Systempeak, dann ein mittelhoher Nitratpeak und zuletzt ein Sulfatpeak.
