900 Laboratory Total Organic Carbon
(TOC) Analyzer
Overview The Sievers® 900 Laboratory Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer offers superior productivity for laboratory TOC measurements. Automated calibration and validation procedures, faster analysis time, automated reagent adjustment, and the high-capacity 900 Autosampler combine for an unequalled level of efficiency, flexibility, and ease of use.
The 900 Laboratory Analyzer yields productivity gains with
analysis times 30 percent faster than its Model 800 predecessor. The instrument enables complete unattended operation with an Autoreagent feature that calculates and applies the appropriate reagent flow rate for any sample without requiring user intervention. Additional productivity enhancements are realized with the optional 900 Autosampler, featuring random access capability and up to 120 sample positions.
Engineered for ease of use and cost-effective operation,
the Analyzer needs no external reagents or gas supplies and requires only two hours of preventive maintenance per year. Twelve-month calibration stability frees analysts to perform other critical tasks. A large, color touch-screen display provides an intuitive menu to quickly establish operating parameters. A space-saving 19.2-cm (7.6-in) wide profile efficiently uses valuable bench space.
New refinements to the UV/persulfate oxidation method
and patented Sievers® Membrane Conductometric Detection Technology deliver unmatched accuracy and precision across the 900 Laboratory Analyzer’s 0.03 parts per billion (ppb) to 50 parts per million (ppm) operating range. The 900 Laboratory Analyzer optimizes both specialized and general purpose TOC measurements and meets or exceeds the most common pharmaceutical and USEPA regulatory requirements in force today. It is ideal for routine analysis of TOC samples, and is also well suited for testing laboratories that analyze a variety of sample matrices and concentrations.

What it shows: Pure water is an electrical insulator. But provide an ionic compound in the form of salt, and you complete the circuit. How it works: A simple circuit with the mains supply connected to a 15W light bulb and two copper sheet electrodes (figure 1). The electrodes are placed in a 1500ml beaker containing distilled water. Distilled water is a very good insulator, with an autoionisation of 1:10 -7 (the proportion of molecules in H3O+ + OH- form) it has a resistance of 20MΩcm-1. Adding an ionic compound in the form of common salt Na+ Cl- provides a huge number of extra charge carriers (2g ≈ 4x1022 ions) and turns the water into a conducting medium. The bulb lights!
Figure 1. The apparatus
Setting it up: The circuit uses a dedicated cable with a mains plug at one end and clip leads at the other. The best way to hold the electrodes in place is to fold the copper strip over the beaker rim. Only a small amount of salt is needed; a shaker or packet from the nearest cafe will suffice. Comments: The demo uses the 110V mains supply, so ensure the user is aware of the high voltage (provide a note or a "High Voltage" sign). It is a good demo for discussing electrical safety, and why electrical appliances should be kept away from your distinctly non-pure bath water . Rating**
