Total Organic Carbon Analysis for Purified Water and Water for Injection using Teledyne Tekmar’s Fusion TOC Analyzer

8 Jul 2015

In pharmaceuticals, water, specifically Purified Water (PW) and Water for Intravenous Injection (WFI), is vital for drug preparation. Producing and ensuring the cleanliness of this water entails very strict quality control and precise analytical testing methods. This application note presents data following strict criteria set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and Japanese Pharmacopeia (JP), verifying the suitability of Teledyne Tekmar’s TOC Analyzer for the analysis of TOC at 0.05 mgC/mL, as opposed to the current standard of 0.5 mgC/L.

Fusion UV/Persulfate TOC Analyzer

Teledyne Labs

Tekmar's Fusion Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer offers more flexibility, intelligence and user friendliness making this analyzer ideally suited for the most demanding laboratory needs. The Fusion Analyzer utilizes powerful UV Persulfate oxidation allowing superior carbon liberation from even the most challenging matrixes. By implementing the patent-pending Static Pressure Concentration (SPC) technology, the Fusion Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer is able to achieve unprecedented low-end sensitivity from a Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) detector. The Fusion is built on the latest technology and is designed to offer productivity for a wide variety of applications.
