Overview
The Fusion Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer by Teledyne Tekmar utilizes UV Persulfate oxidation for effective carbon liberation from complex matrices. It features Static Pressure Concentration (SPC) technology for enhanced sensitivity using a Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) detector, suitable for various applications.
Functionality
The analyzer determines carbon content in water and solutions through UV-promoted persulfate oxidation, converting carbonaceous material to CO2, which is then detected by NDIR. It measures Total Carbon (TC), Inorganic Carbon (IC), Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and Non-Purgeable Organic Carbon (NPOC). The process involves acidification, sparging, and oxidation, with CO2 detection enhanced by SPC for precision.
Applications
Applicable in pharmaceutical and environmental sectors, adhering to methods like EPA 415.1-415.3, ASTM D4779, and USP TOC Method <643>.
