OVERVIEW

Designed for Total Organic Carbon Analysis of Ground Water and Ultrapure Water

  • The uniTOC device uses the full oxidation by UV. The oxidation process can be enhanced with additional dosage of reagent (persulfate)
  • By using the NDIR detector the uniTOC gives precise results in applications of ground water to ultra pure water. 
  • The NDIR detector is absolutely selective to carbon dioxide and therefore independent from conductivity and sample temperature. 
  • Measuring times are short and the continuous self-cleaning of the reactor avoids any cross-contamination. 
  • Since the quality of the stripped gas can be low, the use of pressurised air in combination with our air filters saves money and is optionally available.
  • Calibration and SST of the uniTOC 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 sample. 
  • 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. 
  • The verification of the TOC results according to the requirements of USP and Ph.Eur is realised by the periodic performance of system suitability tests.

FAQ

The uniTOC is used for basic to ultra pure water applications (e.g. WFI - water for injection).

The uniTOC operates according to USP 643, DIN EN 1494, DIN32645 as well as EP 2.2.44.

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

The uniTOC covers a TOC range from 2 ppb to 5000 ppb, but can cover a range from 15 ppb to 20 ppm in a so-called "high range" configuration. For higher concentration ranges, the addition of oxidation support reagent is recommended.

The uniTOC is independent of conductivity values, but it is not recommended to use it with solutions with a high salt content (e.g. seawater), as crystallization processes can clog the fluidics and even occupy them.

The uniTOC uses classical oxidation by means of UV radiation. The resulting carbon dioxide is then determined via a selective NDIR detector and the TOC value is thus determined.

The uniTOC is a classic online monitoring system, but can also be used in offline mode for measuring individual samples.

Yes, the uniTOC can be calibrated easily and intuitively under the user's guidance. In addition, the "low range" variant 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.
