Ion Chromatograph – Toron-IC™ 200 (Efficient)

Ion Chromatograph – Toron-IC™ 200 (Efficient) Key Features

The Toron-IC™ 200 system is engineered with a suite of advanced features to meet the demanding requirements of modern ion chromatography, delivering exceptional sensitivity, flexibility, and reliability.

Detection and Sensitivity

• High-Sensitivity Electrochemical Detector: At the core of its analytical power is a versatile electrochemical detector capable of operating in multiple modes—Direct Current (DC), Pulse, and Scan—to achieve ultra-low detection limits. This multi-mode capability ensures broad application coverage, allowing for the precise measurement of a wide range of ionic species, from simple inorganic ions to complex organic molecules.
• Multi-Flow Cell Capability: The system is designed to accommodate diverse analytical requirements by supporting up to three independent flow cells simultaneously. This flexibility allows users to run different detection methods or analyses sequentially or in parallel without time-consuming hardware changes.

Sample Handling and Automation

• Advanced Autosampler with Dilution Function: High-throughput laboratories will benefit from the sophisticated autosampler. It provides flexible injection options, including micro-loop, partial-loop, and full-loop injections, to optimize sample utilization and precision. Crucially, it incorporates automatic dilution capabilities, which is essential for managing samples with high concentration variability, reducing manual preparation errors, and extending the system's linear range.

Fluidics and Separation Control

• Quad-Pump System: The robust fluidics platform features a powerful quad-pump system. This design allows for the operation of up to four different mobile phases simultaneously, providing the foundation for complex separations, including advanced gradient elution techniques and multi-dimensional chromatography, enabling superior resolution and faster analysis times.
• High-Pressure Analytical Pump: Ensuring separation integrity, the analytical pump delivers a highly stable and precise flow rate even under high-pressure conditions, up to 400 bar (5800 psi). This stability is maintained through active pulsation compensation technology, resulting in reproducible retention times and peak areas, critical for quantitative analysis.

System Stability and Monitoring

• Intelligent System Monitoring: Operational integrity is maintained through a comprehensive intelligent monitoring system. This includes real-time leak detection to protect hardware and samples, clear status indicators for immediate operational assessment, and automatic safety interlocks that shut down the system in the event of critical issues, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
• Column and Flow Cell Oven: Temperature control is vital for consistent results. The dedicated, temperature-controlled chamber for both the analytical column and the flow cell significantly improves retention stability and overall analytical repeatability by eliminating the influence of ambient temperature fluctuations.

Connectivity and User Interface

• Flexible Connectivity and Control: The Toron-IC™ 200 is designed for modern laboratory integration, offering multiple control interfaces including LAN (Local Area Network) for robust network operation, analog output for integration with legacy systems, and event-based control for automated workflow integration. An optional mobile interface provides users with the convenience of monitoring and basic control remotely.
