Metrohm launches scION, a new sensor based on thick-film technology. The sensor’s ion-selective tip has been specially developed for titrating calcium/magnesium hardness in drinking water.
With regular use, sensor performance is subject to gradual decline. However, it is not so easy to determine, if a sensor is still good enough to yield the required quality of analytical results. scION is the answer to this notorious challenge.
scION is based on a modular design. While the electrode shaft (that is not critical for the electrode’s performance) can be used over and over again, the new, cost-effective sensor tip enables affordable, routine replacement. This ensures always reliable results.

Ion ChromatographyIon chromatography, also known as ion exchange chromatography, is a high-performance liquid chromatographic technique used for the separation and identification of ions or polar molecules in a sample, including proteins, nucleotides and amino acids. Equipment includes ion exchange columns, ion exclusion columns, ion chromatography systems, pumps, and detectors. Find the best ion chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.
