Metrohm launches OMNIS IC

The new benchmark in ion chromatography

Metrohm introduces OMNIS IC, the next-generation ion chromatography system designed to combine
maximum flexibility, automation, and reliability on a single analytical platform. Built on a modular
hardware concept and powered by intuitive software, OMNIS IC addresses both current and future
analytical demands while ensuring efficiency and reproducible results.

Modular design for tailored IC solutions

OMNIS IC is based on a modular hardware concept comprising functional units such as pumps,
injectors, detectors, and dosing units. These components can be combined as needed to create a customized ion
chromatography system. This modularity allows laboratories to configure systems
precisely according to their analytical requirements and to expand them easily as
applications grow in complexity.

Automation that simplifies daily laboratory work

OMNIS IC supports a high degree of automation, covering workflows from sample
preparation through to result validation. Automated eluent preparation and continuous
monitoring of fill levels help prevent interruptions. Inline sample preparation steps
– such as dilution, filtration, and dialysis – and intelligent injection techniques – such as
partial loop injection, preconcentration or matrix elimination – reduce manual
intervention and minimize the risk of user errors.

Built-in reliability and self-monitoring To ensure stable and reproducible results,

OMNIS IC continuously monitors system status, including pressures, flows, and liquid
levels. Pre-run checks validate sample lists, while equilibration checks ensure that

OMNIS IC can be configured as needed, unit by unit and module by module.
measurements begin only under stable conditions. Functions such as AutoPurge and
AutoRinse help maintain a gas-free flow path and prevent sample carryover between runs.
Intuitive software for efficient operation OMNIS IC is operated via the OMNIS Software, which features a clearly structured
and intuitive user interface. Visual icons, dropdown menus, tooltips, and integrated help
functions support fast familiarization, enabling both experienced analysts and new users to
work efficiently and confidently.
