M1-IC6600 series

Multifunctional ion chromatograph

A high-end, fully modular ion chromatograph

The M1-IC6600 Multifunctional Ion Chromatography Series is a high-end system built for the full range of ion chromatography applications. Configurable with conductivity, electrochemical and UV detectors, it analyses routine anions and cations, cyanide and iodide, sugars, small organic acids, hexavalent chromium and transition metals.

Pump, eluent generator, detector and post-column derivatisation are all pluggable modules, so the instrument is configured to the laboratory's own requirements rather than compromised. Isocratic or quaternary gradient pumps, three detector families and a full range of eluent generators combine into the configuration each method needs.

Online concentration, online matrix elimination, post-column derivatisation and time-programmed injection extend the system well past routine work — into battery electrolytes, semiconductor-grade acids and quaternary-gradient amperometric detection of sugars.

System design

Five-zone temperature control

+Five independently controlled temperature zones cover the separation, detection and derivatisation modules.

+Holding each stage of the flow path at its own set point removes the baseline drift that ambient swings introduce.

+Retention times and peak areas stay stable through long unattended sequences and across seasons.

Reagent-free ion chromatography

+The eluent generator uses electrodialysis to produce eluent on demand from deionised water alone — no manual preparation.

+Hydroxide, carbonate and methanesulfonate generators cover the full spread of anion and cation methods.

+Under isocratic pump conditions the system still achieves gradient eluent, lowering cost while improving reproducibility.

Flexible detector options

+Conductivity detector — the workhorse for routine anions and cations, with suppressed conductivity for the lowest baseline noise.

+Electrochemical detector — DC amperometric, pulsed amperometric and integrated pulsed amperometric modes for sugars, cyanide and iodide.

+Variable-wavelength UV detector — with post-column derivatisation, transition metals (Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺) and hexavalent chromium.

+Multiple channels and detection methods run together for multidimensional chromatography.

Built in

Chromatography pumps

+Isocratic and quaternary gradient pumps; either realises gradient analysis when coupled with an eluent generator.

+Servo DC motors with less noise and vibration, smooth speed changes and higher, more stable flow rates.

+PEEK pump head resists acids, bases and reversed-phase organic solvents and prevents metal contamination.

+Intelligent electronic pulsation suppression — high precision, low pulsation, low drift — with high- and low-pressure protection.

High-throughput autosampler

+Cations and anions analysed simultaneously from a single needle injection, saving sample volume and time.

+Online concentration, online matrix elimination and time-programmed injection are integrated.

+Multiple injection modes, from simple direct injection to complex sample-preparation sequences.

SmartLab workstation

+System Manager, Real-Time Analysis and Post-Run Analysis reached from a single console.

+Roles carry defined permission sets for hierarchical access control across a multi-user data system.

+Every create, edit and delete action is logged automatically with time, executor, content and result.

+Predefined report templates, or templates customised with laboratory branding.

21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11

+Access control, audit trail, data management and electronic signature treated as four parts of one system.

+All M1 Teck instruments and third-party devices driven from the same workstation — one training burden, one data store.
