Ion Chromatography

This is an in-depth course covering the flow path and function of IC systems, routine operation through MagIC Net software and required maintenance for optimal functionality. Our interactive, hands-on training gives you the practice you need to operate your system with confidence. No previous knowledge of ion chromatography instrumentation is required. Recommended within six months of installation or at any time to train a new operator. Hands-on exercises and Q&A sessions help answer your key learning needs

IC Theory and flow path: Separation, detection methods, automation and sample preparation; flow path exercises
Preparing for IC analysis: Water and reagent quality; eluent preparation; best practices for calibration
System operation: Purging IC pump; leak and sample flow checks; setting up a determination series
Demonstration of capability: Calibration test; reproducibility/ accuracy test; carry-over test

MagIC Net databases: Creation of databases, structure and features, monitoring and backup, data export/import
Data evaluation: Chromatography features; reprocessing calibrations and data; calibration functions and linearity; check standards; matrix spikes; reporting and exporting data

Routine IC maintenance: Maintenance schedule; hands-on practice-changing consumable parts
Troubleshooting: Strategies, common issues, troubleshooting exercises
