Automated High Temperature Combustion TOC Analyzer

The Lotix TOC Combustion analyzer is designed to accurately measure carbon content in aqueous matrices down to the ppb level. It uses proven high temperature combustion, oxidation of carbon material into carbon dioxide, and detection using a new Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) detector. Lotix is the ultimate solution for wastewater, surface water, ground water, sea water, and other hard to oxidize matrices with an economical price to fit any budget.

Benefits of the Lotix • No syringe drives or 7-port valves! • Ability to run 0-20,000 ppm with a single 0.5 mL injection volume virtually eliminating the need for multiple calibration curves • Easy to use software requiring < 1 minute to set up a calibration curve • Simple design ensures virtually any component can be accessed in minutes, and with the furnace located in the front, combustion tube maintenance is a snap • Real-time viewing of analytical data and printing of completed sample reports while instrument is running • Easy scheduling of priority samples • Ability to export to CSV or...

Accuracy You Can Count On The Lotix TOC Combustion analyzer is designed to accurately measure carbon content in aqueous matrices down to the ppb level. It uses proven high temperature combustion, oxidation of carbon material into carbon dioxide, and detection using a flow-through Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) detector. The Lotix features a vertical quartz combustion tube packed with supported platinum catalyst and quartz beads that receives a continuous flow of air at 200 mL/minute. The furnace is normally maintained at 680 °C, but can be varied to any temperature up to 1000 °C. Samples...

Sample Conveyor – The Lotix conveyor systematically moves sample vials to and from the sample position for sample introduction via the needle assembly. The conveyor is designed to hold 30 – 40 mL VOA vials. Needle Elevator Tower - The needle elevator raises and lowers the needle assembly using a pneumatic air cylinder. When lowered, the sample and pressurize needles puncture the septa of the vial. When raised, the needles are safely above the sample vial, allowing the sample conveyor to move the vial in the sample position out for rinse, and the next vial into the sample position....

Fully Optimized User Interface From the beginning, the Lotix project was about simplifying TOC analysis. In designing the Lotix'sTOCTekLink™ software, we approached the software's design from the user's perspective and then built a software architecture to match. The result is an instrument so fluidly connected to a user's analytical needs that it becomes nearly transparent. TOC TekLink™ was designed around the following concepts: Little Extras Make A Big Difference • Automatic shutdown/standby of temperature and gas results in cost savings! • Automatic corrective actions (outlier deletion)...

Lotix Specifications Chemistry: Oxidation by Combustion: From 680 °C - 1000 °C Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Detector Concentration range 0-20,000 ppm without dilution using a single 0.5 mL sample injection. Higher concentrations achievable with dilution prior to analysis. Limit of Detection: 50 ppb Carryover: ≤ 1.0% Cross Contamination Sample Size: 0.5 mL Precision*: ≤2% RSD, typical of a mid-range standard. * Analytical performance is affected by laboratory water, reagent and gas purity, sample container cleanliness, sample matrix, gas regulator cleanliness, precision and operator skill....
