About the ICprep Series
In modern analytical laboratories, handling varied sample matrices without sacrificing throughput or compliance remains a key challenge. The ICprep Series addresses this by delivering a robust, fully automated solution tailored for AOF, AOX, EOF, TOF and other combustion-based analyses. Whether you’re testing soil, wastewater, or process chemicals, the ICprep enables streamlined workflows that cut down manual handling while boosting data consistency.
The system features automated pyrohydrolytic combustion, designed to effectively break down fluorine compounds into measurable analytes.
The integrated flame sensor technology continuously monitors the combustion process to ensure complete sample oxidation. With liquid/solid switching, the system eliminates the need for separate hardware or lengthy changeovers.
At the heart of the ICprep Series is its multi-matrix sampler (MMS), allowing laboratories to process a broad range of samples in one run. Combined with automatic boat drive combustion and fraction collection, this ensures the highest level of reproducibility across varying workloads.
Applications extend across:
- Environmental testing labs conducting regulatory compliance for AOX/EOF in surface and groundwater
- Industrial labs verifying chemical content and contaminants in manufacturing processes
- Government or contract labs supporting high-volume, standards-aligned sample workflows
Unique to ICprep is its compatibility with APU series sample prep units and downstream detection via ion chromatography (IC), ion-selective electrodes (ISE), and photometric systems. This end-to-end integration ensures continuity in data acquisition and removes the error-prone manual transfer step.
Compared to traditional setups, ICprep drastically reduces labour input, lowers per-sample cost, and improves traceability, making it a reliable asset for organisations driven by quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.
"The ICPREP series is a compact, fully automated system for precise,
high-throughput sample preparation for ICP spectroscopy."
