Ion chromatography for food & beverage analysis

17 May 2021

Food and beverage analysis is challenging due to the large number of analytes and complex matrices, and to meet stringent quality regulations and labeling requirements, fast, robust, and reliable food analysis is a must.

In this application eBook, we outline how you can bring your food and beverage analysis to the next level – enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and achieving accurate results – with simple, streamlined methods that overcome the analytical challenges facing the modern QC lab.

In this application eBook, we cover:

  • The benefits of choosing ion chromatography for your food and beverage analysis
  • The applications of ion chromatography across the food and beverage sector
  • How to achieve compliant testing in your lab
  • The different detection techniques including conductivity, UV/vis detection, and amperometry

940 Professional IC Vario

Metrohm AG

With the 940 Professional IC Vario system, Metrohm sets a new standard in ion chromatography. 940 Professional IC Vario stands for maximum flexibility combined with most easy operation and perfect reliability. Entirely modular by design, the new 940 Professional IC Vario meets your particular requirements while keeping you perfectly flexible. Based on one and the same system, you can configure any IC system you want or need.All solutions – including standards – are produced fully automatically, if desired. Starting with sample injection, the system works completely autonomously. Moreover, it is self- monitoring: All system and method parameters are permanently checked; if any system component should require maintenance, the system tells you so – with a message in plain text.The 940 Professional IC Vario system provides superior reliability of both the system itself and the analytical results produced on it: Because the system is self-monitoring, operator errors are virtually ruled out. You can absolutely rely on your measuring results. Moreover, all results can be traced back to every single step of the analysis and even sample preparation. Thus, even the strictest audits are no reason to worry any more.940 Professional IC Vario Features: Modular high-performance ion chromatography system. Unlimited possibilities for system configuration. Compact dimensions, small footprint. For routine analyses and research applications in the ng/L- to %-range. Highest sensitivity for lowest detection limits. Intelligent system components for reliable results. Wide range of detection options: conductivity, UV/VIS, amperometry, ... Free choice of suppressor and column. All gradient options. Inline eluent preparation integrated in the system. Multi-language MagIC Net software for intuitive and simple operation. Complies with GLP and the FDA regulations. Compatible with the unique and partly patented Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation techniques (MISP). Complete automation for high sample throughput. Low maintenance costs and long lifetime. Rugged Swiss quality.
