OvervieweTOC (TOC-1000e) is an on-line Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyzer for monitoring ultra-pure water. It uses a mercury-free excimer lamp and Shimadzu's "Active-Path" optical design to provide sensitive measurements in a compact, environmentally friendly enclosure. The system applies a UV-oxidation/conductivity detection method compliant with major pharmacopeias and includes security functions for regulatory compliance.
Key points- Mercury-free excimer lamp for UV oxidation.
- "Active-Path" optical/flow design to maximize lamp effectiveness and sensitivity.
- Compact, lightweight enclosure with large colour touch panel for visibility and operation.
- Typically maintenance-free for one year under specified conditions; tool-free maintenance design.
- Supports conditioned standard solutions and a vial sampler for up to four solutions for on-site calibration and qualification.
- Export data to USB in readable formats; remote data viewing/acquisition via web browser.
- Security functions supporting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (user authentication, audit trail) and transfer to LabSolutions™ database.
Performance noteThe TOC-1000e delivers high sensitivity with reported detection limits down to 0.1 µg/L, suitable for online monitoring of ultra-pure water.
