TOC determination in raw and drinking water

3 Aug 2021

The biggest issue of TOC determination in drinking water is the fact that, typically, TOC represents only a fraction of about less than 5% of total carbon content of the sample.

In this application note, Analytik Jena highlights how to overcome this using the NPOC method with TIC control measurement, an approach that provides reproducible and reliable TOC determination at high sample throughput by parallel purging and analysis.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Water PurificationThere are a number of water purification methods available to remove contamination from laboratory water. These systems include demineralization, reverse osmosis, filtration and ultrafiltration. A combination of methods is sometimes necessary to achieve purified water suitable for use in experiments.Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).TOC MonitoringSustainabilitySustainability in research and industry focuses on reducing environmental impact, conserving resources, and promoting long-term ecological balance.
