TOC – Total Organic Carbon

Total Organic Carbon also known as TOC is is a measure of the amount of organic compounds contained in a water sample.

At PPB Analytical, we have the Shimadzu TOC-Lᴄᴘʜ Total Organic Carbon Analyzer that can be paired with an autosampler. The TOC Analyzer provides the highest level of detection sensitivity available with the combustion catalytic oxidation method. The combustion catalytic oxidation method makes it possible to efficiently oxidize not only easily-decomposed, low-molecular-weight organic compounds, but also hard-to-decompose insoluble and macromolecular organic compounds.

By using this instrument, here is a bit of what you can expect:

  • Extremely wide measurement range from 4 μg/L to 30,000 mg/L, applicable to everything from ultrapure water to highly contaminated water (TOC-Lᴄᴘʜ)

    • Capable of TC, IC, TOC (= TC-IC), and NPOC measurement
    • The blank check function evaluates system blanks by measuring ultrapure water processed automatically within the instrument
    • The automatic dilution function enables measurements up to 30,000 mg/L
  • Reliable sample injection system

    • Automatic sample acidification and sparging
    • Automatic dilution function that reduces sample salinity, acidity, and alkalinity, significantly extending the period of use of catalysts and combustion tubes
    • Stat or priority samples can be added at anytime to the analysis schedule without interrupting operation even when an autosampler is used
