Why is sample preparation prior to separation essential for your analysis?

When using ion chromatography (IC) as an analytical technique, samples often cannot be injected directly onto the separation column. There are several reasons for this: samples may contain particles or colloids, the analyte concentration can be too high or low, the sample matrix is unsuitable for a direct injection, or the sample first requires neutralization. These are common and sometimes elaborate challenges faced in daily laboratory work.

Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation (MISP) techniques offer a broad spectrum of straightforward, cost- and time-saving solutions for these kinds of situations.
