EVENT OVERVIEW

Sample preparation is the key to successful ion chromatographic determinations when analyzing solid, airborne, or liquid samples. This webinar discusses the newest technologies to automate and simplify preparation of these types of samples.

Sample combustion systems coupled to ion chromatographs have become a routine technique for halogen and sulfur determinations in solids. A solid is placed in an autosampler and all the steps required to obtain chromatographic data with quantitation are performed online. Practical applications for the analysis of halide anions in petrochemical and polymer samples will be presented.

Automated air sampling with online ion chromatography is now straightforward. The combination of a fully automatic air separator and concentrator allows analysis of both particulates and volatile ionic constituents online. Modern ion chromatographs can run unattended for weeks so this methodology is well adapted to fi eld applications for environmental surveillance.

Finally, a review of automated pretreatment for liquid samples will be discussed. Applications in environmental, industrial, and power, as well as food will be presented highlighting new inline matrix elimination applications.
