Wide Ranging Automatic Sample Treatments
Analysis is made so much easier by the use of in-line derivatisation.
The IonQuest can accommodate post and pre column derivatisation.
A wide choice of versatile autosamplers enable sample pre-treatment,
including temperature control and reagent mixing on the autosampler,
prior to sample injection.
Microplate autosampling and low carry-over options are also available.
We can provide factory configured systems on request. Our technical
helpline is available both pre and post sales. We will always do
our best for you.

Labile Samples
Many samples, especially those of a biological nature , require
special handling. IonQuest autosamplers will provide for sample
cooling. Programmable column ovens will provide for a wide range
of excellent analytical separations. The conductivity detector
will ensure a constant detection temperature. PEEK/non-metal flow
paths are available to protect metal sensitive and metal adsorbing
samples.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
The IonQuest can be user installed and maintained. However, our
world-wide network of trained service engineers can provide for
both installation and preventative maintenance of instrumentation.
Spare parts and accessories are very competitively priced. Our
aim is to keep you and your analysis running smoothly.
