At SwissShrimp, the quality of the seawater is determined several times per day, making an efficient and precise analysis method indispensable. Here, ion chromatography (IC) comes into play: IC is a multi-parameter method, which means that various analytes can be determined in just one measurement. In the case of SwissShrimp, the toxic parameters (ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate) that result from the shrimps' biological processes as well as other salt water parameters (e.g. chloride, sodium, magnesium, and many more) are monitored closely using IC.
With Metrohm's IC solution, not only the analysis, but also sample preparation (Inline Ultrafiltration and Inline Dilution) runs fully automatically. Quality control of seawater couldn't be easier!
