OVERVIEW

Designed for Total Organic Carbon monitoring online and offline

  • The miniTOC instrument uses the classical flow-through concept for online or offline TOC monitoring of pure and ultra pure water.
  • The efficient UV oxidation of organic compounds by the “direct surface” principle in combination with conductivity detection guarantees the fast monitoring of values.
  • Calibration and SST of the miniTOC is easy and can be done by the user. 
  • Online operation is interrupted briefly for the system checks to be performed. 
  • The operator simply has to connect the inlet with the calibration standard solutions and the diluting water. 
  • The software enables the user to perform calibration and SST independently and the programmable sequence ensures the automatic procedure and data evaluation of the test. 
  • Verification of the TOC results according to the requirements of USP and Ph.Eur is realised by the periodic performance of system suitability tests.

Main technical specifications of the system​

Flowchart

The scheme shows the principle of measuring the TOC via conductivity with miniTOC.

Flowchart: miniTOC
Options: Interval Mode miniTOC

Intervall mode

The miniTOC can be ordered as configuration with 4 inputs (miniTOC pro). With an additional software upgrade option the user can measure up to 3 loops sequentially.

Options: Offlinemode miniTOC

Offline version

An offline configuration is available to analyse single samples.

Options: Autosampler miniTOC

Autosampler

By using the offline mode of the miniTOC pro the system is also upgradable with an autosampler with 15 positions for 100 mL vials.

Options: Heat exchanger miniTOC

Heat exchanger

If the medium temperature is higher than 50 °C a heat exchanger is required.

Options: Pressure Regulator miniTOC

Pressure regulator

If the medium pressure is higher than 1 bar a pressure transducer is required.

Options: Software miniTOC

21 CFR part 11 Software

Software with 21 CFR part11 conformity for pharma applications.

Options: IP54 miniTOC

IP 54

The housing protects the miniTOC from dust deposits and water jets

Options: Check Sample Flow miniTOC

Check of sample flow

Initiates alarm in case of inlet flow is zero.

Options: IQQ Documents Aquinity P10

IQ/OQ documents

Validation documents IQ/OQ and PQ for miniTOC (conform and non conform with 21CFR part 11 software.

Options: Conductivity TOC

Conductivity range

extended conductivity of sample up to 10 µS/cm.

FAQ

The miniTOC is used for pure and ultrapure water applications (e.g. WFI - water for injection).

The miniTOC operates according to USP 643, DIN EN 1494 and EP 2.2.44.

The miniTOC is only suitable for liquid media such as pure and ultrapure water, but not waste water or solids.

The miniTOC operates below a conductivity of 2 µS/cm, but can be designed to < 10 µS/cm on request.

The miniTOC uses the classic "flow-through" concept, in which the system oxidizes the sample using UV radiation and determines the TOC content in the sample via a conductivity difference measurement.

The miniTOC covers a TOC range from 0.5 to 1000 ppb.

The miniTOC is a classic online monitoring system, but can also be used in offline mode for measuring individual samples and can even be equipped with an autosampler.

Yes, the miniTOC can be calibrated easily and intuitively under the user's guidance. It also has an SST (system sustainibility test) function.

In addition to the calibration solutions, the pump hose must be changed at regular intervals and a new UV reactor inserted. After a subsequent calibration, the system is ready for use again.
