Fast and versatile
The 889 IC Sample Center is faster than all the other Metrohm sample changers. With less than 10 seconds from the start of the determination to the injection, it may well be a record-breaker. This means you reduce the time for the sample injection between analyses to a minimum. A higher sample throughput is guaranteed.
The 889 IC Sample Center is also distinguished by its versatility. A very wide variety of injection methods can be selected: Full-Loop, Partial-Loop and Pick-up mode. The injection with Pressure-Assisted Sample Aspiration (PASA™) can be used with all three injection modes; this simplifies sample injection, particularly with viscous samples, by means of a headspace pressure. The flexibility is also evident in the variability of the sample volume. The standard accessories contain two 48-position sample racks for 300 µL and 700 µL sample vessels that can be used for injection volumes of 1 to 100 µL (in 1 µL increments). Nonetheless, other sample racks or micro titer plates in compliance with the SBS standard that are conventionally used in liquid chromatography can also be used together with the 889 IC Sample Center. Sample racks with 12 to 384 sample positions are supported. Sample vessels like those used in the HPLC can also be utilized here directly. The sample volume can range all the way from one microliter to ten milliliters. The choice is up to you.
