Stress-free analysis for AOF and beyond

Benefit from smart technology and optimized workflows, regardless of sample type or quantity. ICprep gives you the flexibility of working with different sample types. Both, liquid and solid samples are introduced both by our Multi Matrix Sampler (MMS), change-over between both takes less than 5 minutes even for beginners. The Automatic Boat Drive (ABD) allows time- and matrix-optimized sample combustion in horizontal operation mode.

All samples are completely oxidized through pyrohydrolytic combustion in a high-temperature, oxygen-rich environment. The unique flame sensor technology ensures quantitative and soot-free combustion for organic-rich matter. This guarantees maximum operational safety and reliable measurement results with less replicates.

Designed for sample preparation, our ICprep and APU series seamlessly integrate to provide a comprehensive solution for the entire AOF sample preparation workflow. From column adsorption or solid-phase extraction (SPE) for aqueous samples to pyrohydrolytic combustion, our systems ensure precision, efficiency, and reliability at every step. We eliminate sample contamination through complete combustion and direct measurement without charcoal ejection. Additionally, we offer a wide range of suitable columns and consumables, along with personalized application support.

The ICprep series offers solutions tailored to your lab's needs. For labs with lower sample throughput, our basic version is the perfect choice. However, you can always upgrade to our 100-position fraction collector. As an existing user of Analytik Jena combustion elemental analyzers, you can easily integrate ICprep with your current system to expand your application range without increasing bench space or investing in an additional system. Upgrades are available for most systems (multi EA 5000, multi EA 5100 and multi X 2500).

ICprep carries out sample combustion using pyrohydrolysis in accordance with the following standards:

  • AOF sample preparation compliant to DIN 38409-59 and EPA 1621
  • Sample preparation for halogen (F, Cl, Br, I) and sulfur (S) determination according to ASTM D8150, ASTM D8247, ASTM D7359 UOP 991, EN 17813

Order number: 450-011.803

The self-explanatory multiWin software accompanies the user through all relevant menu points. multiWin is intuitively structured and thus offers the user a comprehensible and simple handling. The Self Check System - an intelligent combination of hardware components and software functions, guarantees uninterrupted and fully automatic operation of the analyzer and its accessories. It monitors and regulates all important system parameters. It immediately points out errors in the configuration of the system and detects unsuitable parameters, thus avoiding low quality results from the very beginning. The software continuously checks the system’s performance and the quality of analysis. multiWin provides free evaluation of sample data even during running measurements, the automatic selection of the optimum calculation function, the fully automatic set up of calibration curves for special applications, the possibility of individual recalculation of results, as well as the clear display of the measurement results. The implemented maintenance counter and intelligent software feature to trigger life time and performance of relevant components make maintenance more predictive, saving time and effort while preventing system failures. Data and parameters can be conveniently managed and stored, and results can be easily forwarded using automatic or manual data import or export functions, including LIMS import and export of data. For elemental analysis with multi EA 5100 and 4000 series the multiWin software includes an extensive library of more than 100 approved, ready to use and stanadard compliant and special application analysis methods. This significantly simplifies analyses according to standard regulations such as ASTM, EPA, DIN, ISO, and UOP. Preconfigured methods eliminate time-consuming method development and allow for fast, correct measurements independant of operators skills.
