1 Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the instrument and operational precautions for its
use. 1
1.1 Overview
The TOC-LCPH/TOC-LCPN (hereinafter referred to as TOC-L) instrument measures the amount

of total carbon (TC), inorganic carbon (IC) and total organic carbon (TOC) in water.
Purgeable organic carbon (POC) can also be measured when the POC accessory is installed.
"Oxidative combustion-infrared analysis" is a widely-used TOC measurement method that
has been adopted by the JIS*1 and other international standards. The TOC-L instrument can
also measure total water-borne nitrogen (TN) if the optional TNM-L is installed. TN is
measured using the principles of "oxidative combustion-chemiluminescence."
Moreover, when the ASI-L Autosampler or OCT-L 8-Port Sampler is used in combination with
the main unit, a fully automatic system is created, allowing automatic analysis of multiple
samples.
This instrument is a qualified product in Shimadzu's ecolabel program.
The power consumption of this instrument has been reduced by 36 %
for a supply voltage of 100 V and 43 % for a supply voltage of 200 V
compared to previous TOC-V models. (Usage conditions: (8 hours of
operation per day) ´ (5 hours of operation per week))
*1 JIS K-0102 "Industrial Waste Water Testing", JIS K-0551: "Total organic carbon (TOC) testing methods
for ultra-pure water", U.S. Pharmacopoeia, EPA 415.1, EPA 9060A, ASTM D7573-09, Standard
Methods for Examination of Water and Waste Water 5310B
Safety may be compromised if the instrument is used in a fashion other than

that indicated in this USER'S MANUAL.
Pay particular attention to the CAUTION sections to ensure safety when using
the instrument.

1 Overview
1.2 Operational Precautions

Take the following precautions when using this instrument.
• This instrument is used for measuring the amount of organic and

nitrogenous substances in water (additional options allow gaseous and solid
sample measurement). Do NOT measure liquids other than water samples.
<Part damage prevention>
• Do not touch the electric furnace while it is heating. The center of the
electric furnace (near the combustion tube insertion opening) reaches very
high temperatures, and burns may result. <Burn prevention>
• To prevent high sensitivity catalyst from being forced upward in the
combustion tube, verify that carrier gas is flowing when heating the electric
furnace. <Prevents the floating of high sensitivity catalyst>
• Allow the electric furnace to cool to room temperature for at least six
hours after switching off the power supply by shutting down the
instrument before removing or exchanging the combustion tube. Burns may
result if this procedure is attempted when the furnace is at a high
temperature. <Burn prevention>
• Do not heat the electric furnace without the combustion tube installed.
The parts of the TC injection port will be exposed to radiant heat from
the center of the electric furnace and may become deformed. If the furnace
must be heated without the combustion tube installed, either remove the
TC injection port parts from the instrument in advance to prevent
deformation or cover the furnace core opening with quartz wool or
another suitable insulator. <Part damage prevention>
• To reduce back pressure, verify that the external drain tubing connected
to the waste port on the right side of the instrument does not touch the
surface of the liquid in the waste container. The height of the external
tube must always be lower than the height of the drain port. Note that
excessive back pressure will prevent sufficient drainage and cause
overflowing from the drain pot.
Figure 1.1 External Drain Tubing
2 TOC-LCPH/CPN LabSolutions TOC Volume

• Hand tighten the various connectors to the 8-port valve. Use of a tool may
cause deformation and leakage in the valve. <Part damage prevention>
1
• Stop operation of the instrument when performing maintenance on any of
the drive components, such as connecting lines to the 8-port valve, or
connecting/disconnecting lines on the sample injector. If these parts are
manipulated or if the lines are disconnected during operation, the drive
component could move and cause injury or discharge of liquid. <Injury
prevention, corrosion prevention>
• Specify the Shut down instrument option in the Shutdown window to shut
down the instrument. The electric furnace turns OFF and the power supply
shuts off after 30 minutes except for a minimum amount of power
necessary to keep the software running. This shutdown process extends the
life of the TC injection port parts by preventing unnecessary wear. This
procedure does not apply to emergency shutdown. <Maintaining durability
of TC injection port parts>
• The lever of the 3-way valve at the bottom of the IC reaction vessel should
normally be turned to the left position. Refer to "Figure 1.2 Lever Position
of 3-Way Valve on the IC Reaction Vessel". The lever should never be
turned to the lower position. The lower position allows carrier gas to flow
at a pressure of 200kPa upstream from the 3-way valve, causing possible
disconnection of joints and damage to parts such as the combustion tube.
Carrier gas is Never turn the lever to

discharged to the front this position.
of the IC reaction
vessel. (Turn the lever
to this position only
when detaching an IC
reaction vessel that
contains liquid.)
Figure 1.2 Lever Position of 3-Way Valve on the IC Reaction Vessel
• Always verify that the ozone air source is supplying air at a rate of
0.5 L/min when using the TNM-L. This helps to prevent ozone leaks and
line corrosion. <Ozone leak prevention, line corrosion prevention>
• If an ozone odor is detected while using the TNM-L, immediately stop the
current measurement (without turning off the gas supply) and contact your
Shimadzu representative to request maintenance. Ozone can cause
respiratory organ injury and equipment damage. <Prevention of respiratory
organ injury and equipment damage>

1 Overview
• The optional POC measurement circuit incorporates a carbon dioxide (CO2)

absorber packed with lithium hydroxide for removal of carbon dioxide gas.
Misuse of lithium hydroxide can cause bodily harm. During packing or
replacing the CO2 absorber container, exercise adequate precaution. After
use, treat the material as industrial waste. The properties and handling
guidelines for lithium hydroxide are described in the material safety data
sheets (MSDS) in "8.9 Safety Data Sheets (SDS)" P.433.
• To clean the instrument, wipe the surface with a soft cloth moistened with
water. Do not use chemicals.
• Repairs to the inside of the instrument can be dangerous. Contact your
Shimadzu representative to have a trained service engineer perform repairs.
• Keep samples and chemicals away from the PC and printer.
• Do not disassemble or modify the instrument beyond the scope of the
maintenance procedures described in this manual, as safety may be
compromised.
• Do not use the instrument in hazardous areas (where fire is prohibited)
because the construction of the instrument is not explosion-proof. Also, the
instrument cannot be used in cleanroom environments.
• Select an installation site with a stable ambient temperature and clean
surroundings free from corrosive gas, organic gas, and dust. Dirty
surroundings in particular can cause measurement errors when performing
high sensitivity measurements. Install the instrument on a sturdy, horizontal
bench free from vibrations and physical impacts.
• In order to obtain favorable measurement values, do not install the
instrument near windows subject to direct sunlight, other sources of heat, or
locations directly subject to cool air from air conditioning, or near equipment
that generates strong magnetic fields, electric fields, or high frequency waves.
• Use the instrument with a grounded power supply of AC 100 ± 10 V.
• Do not use the following characters when naming files or systems to be
saved:
/ , . \ (back slash) : ; (these are all normal-width characters), space (normal
width, em width)
• Turn OFF the Power Management function of the PC to prevent shutdown
of the PC power while it is controlling the TOC analyzer. A shutdown of this
nature would adversely affect performance.
• Hand-tighten the connectors to the 8-port valve of the OCT-L.
Over-tightening with a tool may exert excessive force to the internal valve
body, causing deformation and internal leakage. <Part damage prevention>
• Shut down the instrument before connecting or disconnecting tubing to the
8-port valve or performing maintenance to the drive parts. Liquid may be
discharged from tubes during operation. <Part corrosion prevention>)
• When utilizing the software's printing function, set the paper size to letter
or A4 and printer graphic resolution to 600 dpi.
• Analysis parameter files including calibration curves and methods, as well as
system configuration settings created in the previous version, in addition to
all measurement data can be loaded and edited. However, please be
informed that some of these data may not be able to be loaded and edited.

• Do not write on the periphery of the vial rack or stick adhesive tape onto
the vial rack. If aluminum foil or water droplets are adhered to the periphery
of the vial rack, remove them. These may prevent the vial rack from rotating
1
correctly.
• At the start of measurement, the ASI-L rotates the vial rack by one revolution
to detect its home position and performs initialization. In order to perform
measurement correctly, the ASI-L may also detect shift in the vial rack
position during measurement and perform correction by rotating the vial rack
by one revolution. This does not mean that an abnormality has occurred.

This chapter describes the instrument preparations required prior to conducting analysis.
3.1 Instrument and Sample Preparation

This section describes the preparation of catalyst, connection of the combustion tube,
mounting of the syringe and other procedures that must be performed prior to
conducting actual analysis.
3.1.1 Catalyst Filling

3
Three types of catalyst are available: TOC standard catalyst, TOC high sensitivity catalyst
(H Type only), and TOC/TN catalyst (option). The procedures for filling the combustion
tube with catalyst are described in this section. For TOC standard and high sensitivity
catalyst filling, follow the procedure in "Catalyst for TOC Analysis" P.20. For TOC/TN
catalyst filling, follow the procedure in "TOC/TN Catalyst (Option)" P.23.
Exercise caution when handling the combustion tube to prevent breakage, as

it is made of quartz glass.
When filling the combustion tube, verify that the catalyst does not become
contaminated. Contamination will cause high blank values and abnormal analysis
values.
Using New Catalyst

Broad blank peaks are obtained when using new catalyst for the first time. The blank
peaks will become progressively smaller and more stable with repeated injections, and
their size will stabilize. If calibration or analysis is performed while the blank peaks are
large, the measurements are affected by the changing magnitude of the blank peaks,
resulting in errors in the analysis values. Such errors are especially significant for high
sensitivity TC analysis.

TC Analysis Using New Catalyst

Catalyst regeneration should be conducted 1-2 times for TC analysis using new catalyst.
This reduces the size of the blank peaks. Use continuous injections of pure water until
the blank peak area becomes small and stable. The blank peak magnitude depends on
the quality of the water (TC impurity concentration) and the TC analysis range used for
analysis. For example, a blank peak of 1 mg/L has little influence on results greater than
100 mg/L but has a significant influence on results equal to or less than 10 mg/L. Analyses
for expected concentrations around 10 mg/L must have stable blank peaks of 0.5 mg/L
or less.
For TOC high sensitivity catalyst, conduct the TC blank check analysis described in "TC
Blank Check Analysis" P.71.
TN Analysis Using New Catalyst

Blank peak magnitude poses no practical problems for TN analysis using new catalyst.
The blank peaks are fairly small and stable. Perform analysis with distilled or deionized
water to confirm the size of the blank peaks.
n Catalyst for TOC Analysis
Either standard or high sensitivity catalyst can be used for TOC analysis. The furnace
temperature is set to 680 °C for TOC analysis.
TOC Standard Catalyst

The TOC standard catalyst is appropriate for both the TC-IC method and NPOC method
of analysis.
Analyze TOC high precision samples (with expected concentrations of about

1 mg/L) using the TOC high sensitivity catalyst because smaller blank peaks are
generated.
Filling Combustion Tube with TOC Standard Catalyst
1 Insert two sheets of platinum mesh into the combustion tube.
2 Layer about 5 mm of quartz wool onto the platinum mesh using the catalyst
filling rod.

3 Fill the TOC standard catalyst to a height of about 100 mm.
Figure 3.1 Combustion Tube with TOC Standard Catalyst
Take care not to inhale any quartz wool when filling the combustion tube.
Inhaling quartz wool may cause health impairment. Handle with care. For
details, see "8.9 Safety Data Sheets (SDS)" P.433.
TOC High Sensitivity Catalyst (H Type only)

Use the TOC high sensitivity catalyst for low level TC analysis. The blank values are
controlled to negligible levels, and analysis is performed primarily for trace TOC in pure
water (1 mg/L or less).
Samples containing IC in excess of 5mg/L

The detection rate for IC decreases with increasing concentration. As a result, use the
NPOC method instead of the TC-IC method when analyzing samples that contain IC
concentrations in excess of 5 mg/L.
Filling Combustion Tube with TOC High Sensitivity Catalyst

Two cylindrical containers of catalyst are required for a single load.
1 Place two sheets of platinum mesh in the combustion tube.
2 Fit together the combustion tube opening and the opened end of the cylindrical
catalyst container.

3 Use the catalyst filling rod to push catalyst into the combustion tube from the
other opened end of the cylindrical catalyst container.
4 Transfer the contents of the two cylindrical catalyst containers to achieve a

catalyst layer height of 110 mm in the combustion tube.
A TC high sensitivity catalyst kit, including a combustion tube filled with TOC high
sensitivity catalyst in advance, is also available.
Figure 3.2 Filling of TOC Combustion Tube with High Sensitivity Catalyst
Wear protective glasses and gloves when handling high sensitivity catalyst.

n TOC/TN Catalyst (Option)
TOC/TN catalyst is used for TN analysis and TOC/TN simultaneous analysis. The detection
rate is low for the IC component when it exceeds 10 mg/L; as a result, TOC in samples
containing more than 10 mg/L IC cannot be measured using the TC-IC method and should
be measured using the NPOC method. The furnace temperature is set to 720 °C for
TOC/TN and TN analysis.
Filling Combustion Tube with Catalyst for TN Analysis
1 Insert two sheets of platinum mesh into the combustion tube.
2 Layer about 5 mm of quartz wool onto the platinum mesh using the catalyst
filling rod.
3
3 Introduce the TOC standard catalyst into the combustion tube to a height of
140 mm from the top end of combustion tube.
4 Introduce 0.2 (±0.1) g of ceramic fiber to cover the catalyst.

5 Lightly press down on the ceramic fiber using the catalyst filling rod to attain a
thickness of 10 mm.
• The thickness of the ceramic fiber must be uniform, covering the entire surface
of the catalyst, or a poor TN detection rate may result.
• The filling heights of the catalyst and ceramic fiber influence the TN detection
rate, so it is important that the dimensions are close to those indicated below.
Catalyst: 140 mm from the top end of combustion tube
Ceramic fiber: 10 mm
Figure 3.3 Filling Combustion Tube with Catalyst for TOC/TN Analysis
Take care not to inhale any quartz wool or ceramic fiber when filling the
combustion tube.
details, see Section "8.9 Safety Data Sheets (SDS)" P.433.

3.1.2 Installing the Cooling Tube Unit (H Type Only)
Install the cooling tube unit to the outlet of the combustion tube.
• The cooling tube unit is made of hard glass. Handle the unit with care to
prevent breakage.
• Tighten the hexagon cap nut while holding the PTFE coupling in place with
your finger when connecting the outlet tube to the cooling tube. The cooling
tube with break if the hexagon nut is tightened without holding the PTFE
coupling in place.
3
1 Open the front door on the instrument and connect the PTFE tube attached to
the pure water trap to the outlet of the cooling tube unit (the smaller PTFE
coupling). At this point, carefully tighten the hexagon cap nut while holding the
PTFE coupling in place with your finger.
2 Loosen and remove the two fastening screws on the cooling tube unit located
on the lower section of the electric furnace and insert the screws into each of
the two holes on the upper section of the cooling tube unit and tighten them.
Figure 3.4 Installing the Cooling Tube Unit

3.1.3 Connecting the Combustion Tube
The installation procedure for the combustion tube differs for the H Type and N Type
instruments.
• Allow the electric furnace to cool to room temperature for at least six hours
after switching off the power supply by shutting down the instrument before
performing maintenance on the combustion tube or catalyst. Burns may result
if this task is attempted when the furnace is at a high temperature.
• Combustion tubes are made of quartz glass. Always wear protective leather
gloves when handling combustion tubes to prevent injuries due to breakage.
• When connecting the combustion tube, handle it carefully to avoid breakage.
The combustion tube is constructed of quartz glass, and injury is possible.
• Do not use a wrench or other tool. Injury could result if the combustion tube
breaks.
Installation for the H Type
1 Open the door on top of the instrument, remove the slider retaining screws
(knurled screws) from the sample injector, and pull the slider towards you and
out of the sample injector.
2 Loosen the hexagon cap nut that joins the carrier gas introduction tubing (PTFE
tubing) to the right side of the sample injector and then remove the tubing.

3 Loosen the two knurled screws on the sample injector and remove the sample
injector in the upward direction.
Figure 3.5 Sample Injector
4 Securely insert the top end of the combustion tube filled with catalyst into the
hole on the bottom of the sample injector.

5 Fit the combustion tube into the hole in the center of the electric furnace and
then insert the bottom end of the combustion tube into the PTFE coupling of
the cooling tubing inlet. At this point, securely connect the drain tubing, which
protrudes out of the sample injector, to the Y-shaped fitting.
Figure 3.6 Installing the Combustion Tube
6 Secure the sample injector to the instrument body using the knurled screws.

7 Reattach the slider and carrier gas introduction tubing to their original positions.
Figure 3.7 Securing the Sample Injector to the Instrument Body
Do not allow organic substances, such as grease or oil, to contaminate any parts
exposed to gas including the inner surfaces on the tip of the combustion tube
as well as joints. This is especially important for high sensitivity measurement.

8 Connect the bottom of the combustion tube to the PTFE coupling of the cooling
tubing inlet. Carefully tighten the hexagon cap nut while holding the PTFE
coupling in place with your finger.
Figure 3.8 Connecting the Combustion Tube and Cooling Tubing
Figure 3.9 Connecting the Bottom End of the Combustion Tube to the PTFE Coupling
The quartz glass combustion tube will break if the hexagon cap nut is
overtightened.
Tightening the PTFE coupling without holding it in place will break the cooling
tubing because it is made of hard glass.

9 When using catalyst for TOC measurement and TOC/TN catalyst, use the provided
quartz wool (0.6 g and more) to fill the gap between the bottom of the electric
furnace and the combustion tube as well as the two notches in the insulator on
top of the electric furnace.
• When using TOC high sensitivity catalyst, do not fill the gap at the bottom
of the electric furnace with quartz wool.
• Take care not to inhale any quartz wool when filling the gap and the
notches.
• Inhaling quartz wool may cause health impairment. Handle with care. For
Figure 3.10 Filling With Quartz Wool (Bottom of the Electric Furnace)
Figure 3.11 Filling With Quartz Wool (Top of the Electric Furnace)

Installation for the N Type
injector in the upward direction.
4 Securely insert the top end of the combustion tube filled with catalyst into the
hole on the bottom of the sample injector.

5 Fit the combustion tube into the hole in the center of the electric furnace and
then insert the bottom end of the combustion tube into the PTFE coupling of
the cooling tubing inlet. At this point, securely connect the drain tubing, which
protrudes out of the sample injector, to the Y-shaped fitting.
Figure 3.13 Installing the Combustion Tube
6 Secure the sample injector to the instrument body using the knurled screws.

7 Reattach the slider and carrier gas introduction tubing to their original positions.
Figure 3.14 Securing the Sample Injector to the Instrument Body
Do not allow organic substances, such as grease or oil, to contaminate any parts
exposed to gas including the inner surfaces on the tip of the combustion tube
as well as joints. This is especially important for high sensitivity measurement.
The quartz glass combustion tube will break if the compression fitting is
over-tightened.

8 Connect the bottom of the combustion tube to the PTFE coupling of the cooling
tubing inlet. Carefully tighten the hexagon cap nut while holding the PTFE
coupling in place with your finger.
Figure 3.15 Connecting the Combustion Tube and Cooling Tubing

9 In order to prevent heat from escaping from the furnace, use the provided quartz
wool (0.6 g and more) to fill the gap between the bottom of the electric furnace
and the combustion tube as well as the two notches in the insulator on top of
the electric furnace.
• When using TOC high sensitivity catalyst, do not fill the gap at the bottom
of the electric furnace with quartz wool.
• Take care not to inhale any quartz wool when filling the combustion tube.
• Inhaling quartz wool may cause health impairment. Handle with care. For
Figure 3.16 Filling With Quartz Wool (Bottom of the Electric Furnace)
Figure 3.17 Filling With Quartz Wool (Top of the Electric Furnace)

When installing or moving the instrument, insulation material powder may

drop under the electric furnace. Since insulation material contains ceramic
fibers, follow these precautions:
• When cleaning dust under the electric furnace, wipe with dampened cloths
to prevent dust or powder from being dispersed.
• Ceramic fibers are contained in the material used inside the electric furnace.
Never dismantle the electric furnace.
Refractory ceramic fibers (RCF) are fire-resistant inorganic fibers mainly consisting of
alumina (Al2O3) and silica (SiO2). This material is chemically stable and can be used as
insulation material in a high temperature range exceeding 1000 °C.
With this instrument, the dispersibility of fibrous mineral under normal conditions of use 3
is measured and is proven to be sufficiently low with respect to the maximum permissible
dust concentration level.

3.1.4 Connecting the Halogen Scrubber
Connection Procedure
1 Remove the film at both ends of the new halogen scrubber and connect it to
the Viton connectors.
2 Secure the halogen scrubber with two white plastic clamps.
Figure 3.18 Halogen Scrubber
The baseline may fluctuate immediately after connection. Allow the instrument to run
for a short time until the baseline stabilizes. Stabilization normally occurs within one
hour.
Figure 3.19 Halogen Scrubber Connection

3.1.5 Installing the Syringe
This section describes how to install the syringe into the instrument.
Each port of the 8-port valve for the syringe pump type sample injector is connected to
certain streams depending on the state of the instrument. Installing and removing the
syringe without following the correct procedure may cause acid and other substances to
be discharged from the syringe connection port. Always follow the procedure described
below.
• If the syringe is installed using a procedure other than that described below,
there is a danger that acid, or other solutions may leak from the syringe
connection port. Ensure that the syringe is installed according to the
procedure below.
3
• To avoid injury, keep hands away from the sample injector during operation
of the syringe pump sample injector.
• The syringe barrel is made of glass, handle it carefully to avoid breakage.
n Syringe Installation
The syringe is installed according to the following procedure.
A system configuration must be created before syringe installation. Refer to "5.

1.1 Creating a New System Configuration" P.124 to set up a new system
configuration.
The plunger is secured to the plunger holder with the plunger retaining screw
through a spring washer. Be careful not to lose the spring washer.
Installation Procedure
1 Open the Sample Table Editor.

3.1.6 Water Supply to the Cooler Drain Vessel
The drain vessel must be filled with water to prevent carrier gas from being released
from the drain tubing.
Procedure
1 Remove the cooler drain vessel from the mounting clip and then remove the
rubber cap from the vessel.
2 Using a wash bottle, pour pure water (deionized water is acceptable) into the
cooler drain vessel up to the level of the drain discharge tubing on the side of
the drain vessel.
3
3 Reattach the rubber cap onto the cooler drain vessel and return the vessel to its
position in the mounting clip.
4 Verify that the cooler drain tubing is inserted straightly in the drain vessel
without being bent.
Do not bend drain tubing, as this may prevent drain discharge.

3.1.7 Filling the Humidifier with Water
Water is supplied to the humidifier using the following procedure.
Procedure
1 Remove the cap from the water supply port at the top of the humidifier.
2 Introduce water through the water supply port to the "Hi" marking on the side
of the humidifier.
Use pure water that contains as little TC as possible when performing high
sensitivity measurement.
Figure 3.22 Filling the Humidifier with Water

3.1.8 Preparation of Dilution Water
This section describes how to prepare the dilution water required to automatically dilute
the sample inside the instrument.
Filling Procedure
1 Wash the provided dilution water bottle (2 L capacity) with laboratory detergent,
rinse well with tap water and then a number of times with pure water.
2 Fill the dilution water bottle with pure water and place it to the left of the
instrument.
3
3 Pass the dilution water intake tubing, labeled DILUTION, through the hole in the
cap.
4 Attach a wiring band about 250 mm from the end of the dilution water intake
tubing to prevent the tubing from separating from the cap.
5 Place the cap on the dilution water bottle.
Verify that the tip of the intake tubing nearly reaches the bottom of the
container.
Figure 3.23 Preparing Dilution Water
About pure water:

• Use the purest water that can be obtained.
• Refer to "Preparation of Standard Solutions" P.64 on page 64 for details on the degree
of purity of "pure water".

3.1.9 Acid Preparation
This section describes the preparation of acid used for IC removal in NPOC measurement
and IC measurement with the N Type instrument.
Although the concentration of hydrochloric acid is normally 1 mol/L as described below,
adjust the concentration according to the properties of the sample.
Preparation Procedure
1 Dilute commercially available special grade concentrated hydrochloric acid

(12 mol/L) with 12 parts pure water to prepare 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid. A
concentration accuracy of approximately ±2 % is acceptable.
The pure water used as the diluent must have a TOC concentration no greater
than 0.5 mg/L. Since the TOC value of the diluent pure water can have a large
effect on the analysis result with high sensitivity analysis (low TOC
concentrations), it is necessary to use pure water having a very low TOC
concentration.
Hydrochloric acid is a hazardous chemical. Use precautions to avoid contact

when handling this substance.
For details, refer to "8.9 Safety Data Sheets (SDS)" P.433.
2 Pour the prepared acid into the 250 mL acid container provided standard with
the instrument, and secure the acid container in the mounting clip on the left
side of the instrument.
3 Pass the acid intake tubing through the hole in the cap.
4 Secure the tubing, using a wire clamp about 100 mm from the end of the tubing,
to prevent the tubing and cap from separating.

5 Place the cap on the container.
Verify that the tip of the acid intake tubing nearly reaches the bottom of the
container.

3.1.12 Installing the Suspended Solids Kit
To analyze samples containing suspended solids, the sample flow line diameter can be
increased from 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm by installing the optional Suspended Solids Kit.
This section describes the installation of the Suspended Solids Kit.
There are two kits available:
(1) For TOC-L (TOC-L main unit only)
(2) For TOC-L + ASI-L (used with TOC-L and ASI-L)
Switch OFF the TOC-L before attempting to install the Suspended Solids Kit.
Replacing the Flow Line Parts and Slider

This procedure is used for both kits.
Procedure
1 Remove the bushing from port 7 of the 8-port syringe pump valve, and
disconnect the TC injection tubing. For the H-type, remove the bushing from port
5, and disconnect the IC injection tubing.
2 Remove the slider mounting screws from the TC and IC injection blocks, and
detach the sliders.
3 Remove the slider bushings and replace the sample injection tubing with the
0.8 mm diameter sample injection tubing provided in the kit.
4 Reinstall the sliders on the sample injection blocks.
5 Connect the TC injection tubing and the IC injection tubing to port 7 and port
5, respectively.
During analysis, verify that the sample flow is normal. Refer to "Corrective
Actions for Poor Reproducibility" P.377.
If the sample stream is not normal, the tip of the PTFE tubing may be deformed
or scratched. Use a knife to cut off a portion of the tube.

Replacing Sample Tubing
For TOC-L (TOC-L main unit only)
1 Remove the bushing from port 1 of the 8-port syringe pump valve and replace
the sample tubing with the 0.8 mm diameter tubing provided in the kit.
2 Connect the new sample tubing to the 8-port valve in the original position.
For TOC-L + ASI-L (TOC-L and ASI-L)

Refer to "8.8.4 Installing the ASI-L" P.419 to remove the ASI-L sample needle and sample
tubing. Replace these with the sample needle and tubing provided in the Suspended
Solids Kit.
Precautions for Measuring Suspended Solids

When performing measurement of solid samples using the Suspended Solids Measurement
kit, follow the precautions below to ensure the best possible conditions for measurement.
Refer to "Analysis of Samples Containing Suspended Solids" P.76.
(1) Before measurement, use a homogenizer, etc. to make the sample as uniform as
possible. After homogenizing the sample, depending on the type of suspended
substance, precipitation and coagulation may occur after a period of time. Prior to
measurement, mix the sample again using a magnetic stirrer to ensure that
precipitated/coagulated material is well dispersed throughout the sample.
(2) If the suspended material is present in large quantities, clumping of the material and
obstruction may occur inside the sample flow line even if the particles are of smaller
diameter that the sample flow line diameter. Take measures such as sample dilution
to prevent flow line obstruction,
(3) The suspended solids measurement kit employs a 0.8 mm PTFE tubing for sample
injection. Diminished reproducibility may occur with small sample injection volumes.
Make injection volumes as large as possible.
(4) When conducting IC measurement of suspended solid samples using the H type
instrument, obstruction of the IC measurement flow line drain tube may occur.
Sufficiently pulverize the suspended particles to allow free flow through the drain tube.

3.1.13 Preparing the High Suspension Kit (When Using the Optional High Suspension Kit)
To analyze samples that contain a high concentration of suspended solids, analysis can
be performed with greater accuracy by using the optional High Suspension Kit for High
Concentrations or High Suspension Kit for Low Concentration. Analysis with the High
Suspension Kit for High Concentrations uses 80 µL capacity tubing for the TC sample
injector tubing and IC sample injector tubing, and the injection volume is set to 80 µL.
Meanwhile, analysis with the High Suspension Kit for Low Concentrations uses 150 µL
capacity tubing for the TC sample injector tubing and IC sample injector tubing, and the
injection volume is set to 150 µL.
This section describes the installation procedure for each type of the High Suspension Kits.
3
Always switch OFF power to the TOC-L before attempting to install the High
Suspension Kit for High Concentrations.
Replacing the Injection Tubing
Procedure
1 For the H-type, remove the slider mounting screws from the TC and IC injection
blocks and detach the sliders. For the N-type, remove the slider mounting screws
from the TC injection block and detach the slider.
2 Remove the slider bushings and replace the connected sample injection tubing
with the provided tubing.
3 Reinstall the sliders onto the sample injection blocks.
During analysis, verify that the sample flow is normal. If the sample flow is not
normal, refer to "Corrective Actions for Poor Reproducibility" P.377 and take
the described measures.

Precautions when using the High Suspension Kit

When analyzing samples with suspended solids using the High Suspension Kit for High
Concentrations, observe the following precautions. These are general precautions to
ensure that analysis of samples with suspended solids is performed under the best
possible conditions.
(1) Before analysis, use a homogenizer to make the suspended solids in the sample as
uniform as possible. After homogenizing the suspended solids in the sample,
precipitation and coagulation may occur after a period of time depending on the type
of suspended substance. Agitate the sample again prior to analysis and use a magnetic
stirrer during analysis to prevent precipitation and coagulation of the suspended
substance.
(2) If the suspended substance is present in high quantities, clumping of the substance
and blockage may occur inside the sample flow line even when particles are smaller
in diameter than the diameter of the sample flow line. Take measures, such as diluting
the sample, to prevent the suspended substance from causing blockages in the flow
line.
(3) The High Suspension Kit improves accuracy in the analysis of samples that contain
suspended solids when performing TC and TN analyses, H-type IC analysis, and NPOC
analysis using the external sparge kit. Accuracy is unaffected for N-type IC analysis and
POC analysis in this mode. While an increase in accuracy can be expected by performing
NPOC analysis using the optional external sparge kit, accuracy is unaffected when
sparge processing is performed within the syringe.
(4) When analyzing samples that contain high quantities of suspended solids, these solids
may remain in the tubing or syringe and cause contamination by mixing with a
subsequent analysis sample of low concentration. To prevent such contamination,
repeatedly perform purified water analysis after analyzing a sample that contains
suspended solids and verify that contamination will not occur.
The following measures can be taken when the effect of contamination is significant.
• Syringe flushing
Suspended solids may collect on the plunger tip of the syringe and adhere to the
syringe interior. Remove the syringe and flush the plunger tip and syringe interior.
The procedure for flushing the syringe is described in "7.2.8 Syringe Replacement"
P.329.
• Needle flushing
If suspended solids are adhered to the surface and tip of the sampling needle of
the autosampler, remove and flush the needle.
The procedure for removing the needle is described in "8.8.4 Installing the ASI-L"
P.419.
• Tube flushing
If suspended solids are adhered to the water sampling tube, remove and flush the
tube.

3.1.14 IC Analysis Preparations
Certain preparations are necessary for the H Type instrument. These include installing
and replenishing the IC reagent in the IC reaction vessel. This section describes the
procedures for installing and replenishing the IC reagent.
The IC reagent contains corrosive phosphoric acid. Always handle acid with
care to prevent spills and contact with the skin.
Preparation and Placement of the IC Reagent 3

Procedure
1 Prepare the IC reagent by diluting 50 mL of commercially available 85 %

phosphoric acid (ACS Reagent grade) with pure water to a final volume of
250 mL.
Since the specific gravity of 85 % phosphoric acid is about 1.7, dilution results in a
concentration of phosphoric acid of about 25 % (weight%) in the prepared IC reagent.
A concentration accuracy of approximately ±2 % is acceptable.
2 Pour the prepared IC reagent into the 250 mL container provided standard with
the instrument, and secure the container in the mounting clip on the left side
of the instrument.
3 Pass the tip of the IC reagent tubing through the hole in the cap.
4 Secure the tubing, using a wire clamp at a point about 100 mm from the end
of the tubing tip, to prevent the tubing and cap from separating.
5 Replace the cap on the container.

Replenishing IC Reaction Vessel with IC Reagent

Use the following procedure to replenish the IC reagent.

configuration.
Procedure
1 Verify that the lever of the 3-way valve at the bottom of the IC reaction vessel
is positioned to the left as shown in "Figure 3.27 Lever Position of IC Reaction
Vessel 3-Way Valve".

reagent drain tube.
7 Click Close.

3.1.15 Preparation for POC Analysis (When Using the Optional POC Kit)
POC analysis can be performed if the optional POC analysis kit is installed on the
instrument. This section describes preparations required for POC analysis.
Installation of the CO2 Absorber for POC Analysis
1 Remove the CO2 absorber.
Figure 3.28 CO2 Absorber Container for POC Analysis
2 Insert about 5 mm of quartz wool into the bottom of the container.
3 Add commercially available anhydrous lithium hydroxide to the container on top

of the quartz wool until it reaches just below the screw threads of the container.
About 6 g of anhydrous lithium hydroxide is required for a single load.
4 Place about 5 mm of quartz wool on top of the lithium hydroxide.
5 Attach the O-ring and nipple to the top of the container, and firmly tighten the
cap.

6 Install the CO2 absorber for POC analysis in the original position.
• Lithium hydroxide is available in anhydrous and hydrated forms. Since the

ability of the hydrated form to absorb carbon dioxide is slightly inferior to
that of the anhydrous form, use anhydrous lithium to fill the CO2 absorber
container.
• When introducing the quartz wool and lithium hydroxide into the container,
do not pack too tightly.
• The CO2 absorber container is constructed of glass. Handle it carefully to
prevent breakage.
Wear protective glasses, gloves, and mask when handling anhydrous lithium
hydroxide.

Anhydrous lithium hydroxide is a corrosive (strongly alkaline) powder.
Direct contact or inhaling it causes injury.
Inhaling lithium hydroxide may cause health impairment. Handle with care.
or details, check the contents of the safety data sheet (SDS) available from the
lithium hydroxide manufacturer.
Inhaling quartz wool may cause health impairment. Handle with care.
For details, see "8.9 Safety Data Sheets (SDS)" P.433.

3.1.16 TN Analysis Preparation (When Using the Optional TNM-L TN Unit)
TN analysis can be performed if the optional TNM-L is installed on the instrument. The
NOx absorber also must be connected to perform TN analysis. The CO2 absorber (soda
lime) is used as the NOx absorber. Connect it to the instrument using the following
procedure.
n Installation of the NOx Absorber
Procedure
1 Cut the tips of the rigid tubes (2) in the lid of the CO2 absorber with a knife.
2 Connect the Viton tubing to the 2 rigid tubes as follows:

• Tubing labeled "L": Connect to tube labeled "L" on the CO2 absorber.
• Tubing labeled "S": Connect to tube labeled "S" on the CO2 absorber.
3 Once connected, place the NOx absorber at the back right of the instrument.
Make sure there are no kinks in the flexible tubing.
Figure 3.30 Connecting the NOx Absorber

3.1.17 B-Type Halogen Scrubber (When Using the Optional B-Type Halogen Scrubber)
The optional B-type halogen scrubber can help protect the NDIR cell from corrosion when
analyzing samples that contain a high amount of salt (concentration up to about 3 %).
The B-type halogen scrubber connects to the IC reaction vessel outlet (downstream of
the carrier gas flow) on the H Type instrument and to the pure water trap outlet
(downstream of the carrier gas flow) on the N Type instrument.
Follow the procedure described below to introduce the stainless mesh for absorption and
dilute hydrochloric acid into the B-type halogen scrubber.
The B-type halogen scrubber is filled with 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid. The liquid level
of hydrochloric acid gradually decreases when the instrument is waiting for analysis to
start (and the carrier gas is flowing), the sample injection volume is small, or the interval
between analyses is large during analysis. Always verify that the liquid level is up to the
height of the branching tube in the vessel of the B-type halogen scrubber before starting 3
analysis. If the liquid level is lower than the branching tube, fill the vessel to the correct
height with 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid (this is important when performing continuous
analysis over an extended period of time using the autosampler).
The ability to absorb halogen stops if the amount of liquid in the B-type halogen
scrubber decreases enough to prevent the carrier gas from bubbling or if the
stainless mesh for absorption dissolves completely. Before starting analysis, always
verify that the liquid level is up to the height of the branching tube in the
vessel of the B-type halogen scrubber and the scrubber contains stainless mesh
for absorption.
Preparation Procedure
1 Prepare 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid by either diluting 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid
with 20 parts pure water or diluting concentrated hydrochloric acid (12 mol/L)
with 240 parts pure water.
A concentration accuracy of approximately ±2 % is acceptable. As a guide, the TOC value
of the pure water used for dilution should be less than 0.5 mg/L.

2 Release the clamps that secure the B-type halogen scrubber in place, remove the
B-type halogen scrubber from the instrument, and open the screw cap.
Figure 3.31 Removing the B-Type Halogen Scrubber

3 Insert a stainless mesh for absorption into the B-type halogen scrubber and then
fill the vessel with 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid up to the height of the branching
tube.
Figure 3.32 Preparing the B-Type Halogen Scrubber
4 Close the screw cap and return the B-type halogen scrubber to its original
position in the instrument.
Hydrochloric acid is a deleterious substance and must always be handled with

care to prevent spills and contact with the skin.
The vessel of the B-type halogen scrubber is made of glass. Handle the vessel
with care to prevent breakage due to impact with other objects.

3.1.18 Preparation and Storage of Standard Solutions
n Preparation of Standard Solutions
Zero water refers to a standard solution with zero concentration of TC, IC, and TN, or
the water used to prepare these standard solutions of various concentrations. Although
zero water is absolutely free of carbon (TC) and nitrogen (TN) in theory, in practice, this
type of water is difficult to attain. Even ultra-pure water attained using a high
performance membrane technique or water that has been repeatedly distilled will have
a TC content of about 10 µg/L, which will increase as the water moved and stored in a
container. Carbon dioxide is present in the atmosphere at concentrations ranging from
300 to 500 mg/L. The carbon dioxide content of ambient air is even higher in a room
with many people or where combustion equipment is used. Carbon dioxide in ambient
air dissolves in water, taking the form of IC. The dissolved amount is generally about
0.2 mg/L, but depends on the water temperature and carbon dioxide content of the air
in contact with the water (refer to "Table 8.2 CO2 Content (ppm) in Distilled Water
Equilibrated with Atmosphere Temperature (°C)").
Not all water distillation and purification instruments incorporate mechanisms that
prevent contact with air during water uptake, retention, or storage processes. For this
reason, IC is present in most types of distilled and purified water. In some cases, the TC
content of commercially available distilled water stored in plastic or glass containers is
near 1 mg/L.
The degree of purity required for zero water varies depending on the
measurement range. For example, commercially available purified water is
acceptable when measuring samples with TC concentrations of a few hundred
mg/L. The quality of the zero water should be considered along with the
measurement range.
Preparation of TC Standard Solutions
1 Accurately weigh 2.125 g of reagent grade potassium hydrogen phthalate.
2 Transfer the weighed amount into a 1 L volumetric flask.
3 Add zero water to the 1 L mark, and stir the solution.

The carbon concentration of the solution is 1000 mgC/L (1000 mgC/L = 1000 ppmC). This
solution is the standard stock solution.
• The standard stock solution may be prepared at other concentrations.

• Although this example describes the preparation of a 1000 mgC/L standard
stock solution, the standard stock solution may be prepared at other
concentrations within the range of solubility.

4 Accurately dilute this standard stock solution with zero water to prepare
standard solutions at the required concentrations.
• The TC standard solution reagent need not be potassium hydrogen phthalate.

Other substances (such as sucrose) are also acceptable depending on the
application.
• Although this example describes the preparation of a 1000 mgC/L standard
stock solution, the standard stock solution may be prepared at other
concentrations within the range of solubility.
• A variety of official drying methods for standard substances are defined. Use
a suitable method for drying, if required.
Preparation of the IC Standard Solution

3
1 Accurately weigh 3.497 g of reagent grade sodium hydrogen carbonate and
4.412 g of sodium carbonate.
2 Transfer the weighed amount into a 1 L volumetric flask.
3 Add zero water up to the 1 L marker and mix well.

The carbon concentration of this liquid solution is equivalent to 1000 mgC/L (1000 mgC/L
= 1000 ppmC). Keep this solution as a standard stock solution.
The following procedure is the same as for preparing TC standard solution.

Preparation of TN Standard Solution
1 Accurately weigh 7.219 g of reagent grade potassium nitrate.
2 Transfer the weighed material to a 1 L volumetric flask.

The nitrogen concentration of this liquid solution is equivalent to 1000 mgN/L
(1000 mgN/L = 1000 ppmN). Keep this solution as a standard stock solution.
The following procedure is the same as for preparing TC standard solution.
Preparation of POC Standard Solution (using the optional POC analysis kit)
IC standard solution is used as the POC standard solution with this instrument for the
following reasons.
• In POC analysis, the measured substance is an organic material that is volatile and
poorly soluble in water (for example, benzene or chloroform). Preparing a standard
solution at an appropriate concentration using these types of organic substances is
difficult.
• Volatile and poorly soluble organic substances tend to undergo changes in
concentration during storage or handling after preparation.
• Standard solutions that are produced using volatile and poorly soluble organic
substances are difficult to use.
Consequently, the IC standard solution is used for this instrument. The preparation
method is listed above.
TC/TN Mixed Standard Solution Preparation Procedure

When TC (or NPOC) and TN analyses are performed simultaneously, a mixed TC and TN
standard solution is prepared.
The mixed standard solution is prepared by mixing the TC standard solution and TN
standard solution. The mixed standard solution must contain 0.05 M hydrochloric acid.

Preparation of 100 mgC/L TC - 100 mgN/L TN Mixed Standard Solution
1 Prepare 1 L of 1000 mgC/L TC standard solution using the preparation method

described above.
2 Prepare 1 L of 1000 mgN/L TN standard solution using the preparation method

described above.
3 Introduce 100 mL of each of the prepared standard solutions into a 1 L volumetric

flask.
4 Add 50 mL of 1 M hydrochloric acid to the flask.

3

The hydrochloric acid concentration will be about 0.05 M after dilution.
n Storage of Standard Solutions
The standard solutions undergo concentration changes, particularly when

low-concentration solutions are stored even for short periods. As a result,
high-concentration standard stock solutions (for example, 1000 mgC/L) should be stored
in airtight containers in a cool, dark place. Glass bottles are suitable storage containers.
Dilute the stock solution prior to each use.
Storage Time
The limitation on storage of standard solutions is about 2 months for 1000 mgC/L
standard stock solutions and about 1 week for diluted standard solutions (for example,
100 mgC/L). The limitations are for cold storage in sealed containers.
IC standard solution absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide and undergoes

concentration changes. As a result, it is particularly important to store IC
standard solution in a sealed container.
Prepare fresh standard solutions:

• If reproducibility of analysis values is poor or concentration fluctuates.
• If contaminants, including even small amounts of dust, are present in the standard
solution.

3.1.19 Sample Preparation
n High Sensitivity Analysis
High sensitivity analysis refers to use of the high sensitivity analysis kit to measure trace
amounts (commonly 0.5 mg/L or less) of TOC in samples such as ultra-pure water. The
precautions described in the sections below should be followed when conducting trace
analysis on the order of 10 - 100 µg/L.
Precautions for High Sensitivity Analysis
Use TOC high sensitivity catalyst.

Carefully fill the combustion tube with high sensitivity catalyst to prevent contamination
of the combustion tube. Measuring high-concentration samples using TOC high sensitivity
catalyst that is intended for the analysis of ultra-pure water will influence the results of
subsequent analyses on ultra-pure water samples. This is primarily caused by remaining
sample residue. The residue may be removed by running repeated analyses of zero water.
Since removal is difficult with residual salt, alkali or highly acidic samples, a separate
combustion tube containing TOC high sensitivity catalyst should be prepared for use only
with ultra-pure water samples.
Verify that both ends of the combustion tube are sealed when storing catalyst that is to
be used only for ultra-pure water samples.
Measure samples immediately.

Samples containing trace carbon (such as ultra-pure water) should be measured
immediately after collection. If analysis cannot be performed immediately, store the
sample in a dark location at 0-10 °C (without freezing) and perform analysis as soon as
possible.
To collect the water, introduce water into a well-washed container, leaving no headspace,
and seal the container.
Use glass sample containers.

Glass containers are optimal for samples containing trace carbon. Commercially-available
500 mL to 1 L glass screw-lid jars with PTFE seals (generally referred to as heat-resistant
screw-top jars or hermetic jars) are appropriate for use as water collection and transport
containers.
Exercise caution with plastic containers, as elution of TOC-containing components

can occur.

Use NPOC analysis for ultra-pure water samples.

Use the NPOC method for analysis of ultra-pure water samples. Measuring TOC in
ultra-pure water samples by using the difference between TC and IC is prone to large
analysis errors for the following reasons:
• The TOC value is significantly affected since a large portion of TC often comprises IC.
Errors in TC analysis and IC analysis are additive.
• Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere during sample collection and analysis.
During the elapsed time between TC analysis and IC analysis, the sample absorbs more
carbon from the atmosphere, causing the IC result to be higher than the IC content in
the TC result. As a result, subtracting the elevated IC result from the TC result yields
a biased TOC value.
• Since a calibration curve must be generated for both TC and IC, TOC values are
significantly affected if the standard solutions for TC and IC are not prepared and
measured with a high degree of accuracy. 3
• In NPOC analysis, POC may be volatilized from the sample during sparging for IC
removal. This is not a problem since the ultra-pure water contains practically no POC.
Cautions in Calibration Curve Generation and Sample Measurement Using High

Sensitivity Analysis
The case below describes the generation of a 2-point calibration curve shifted through
the origin. The calibration standard concentrations are 0 µg/L and 400 µg/L.
Preparation of Standard Solutions

A 2-point calibration curve using 0 µg/L and 400 µg/L is generated. The calibration curve
is shifted through the origin to correct for the TC contained in purified water used for
preparation of the standard solutions.
The 0 µg/L and 400 µg/L TC standard solutions should be prepared at the same time
using the same purified water. Wash well, two 250 mL volumetric flasks with purified
water (preferably water containing low TC concentration). Carefully introduce 1 mL of
100 mg/L TC standard stock solution (for a 400 µg/L solution) into one of the volumetric
flasks. Distilled water is introduced up to the graduation line in both volumetric flasks.
Standard preparation procedures should be performed as quickly as possible, using
caution to avoid inclusion of external contaminants. If a water purification apparatus is
the source of purified water, allow the water to flow for a few minutes prior to use, as
the initial water will have a higher TC concentration. Alternate the flasks a number of
times while filling them with water to equalize, as much as possible, the TC concentration
of the purified water.
Use fresh purified water when filling the volumetric flask to the graduation line. Do not
use rinse bottle water that has been standing for a long period of time because the TC
concentration continually increases with time.

Instrument Preparation
The blank peaks present at the start of high sensitivity analysis will become progressively
smaller and gradually stabilize. As a result, calibration curves generated too soon after
the start of analysis may be inaccurate because they contain data collected during
unstable conditions. For this reason, perform NPOC analysis at least five times on pure
water using the same measurement parameters (injection volume, sparge time) to be
used for analyzing the sample prior to analyzing the standard solution, and verify that
the peaks have stabilized.
Calibration Curve Analyses

Calibration curves are generated using the following two methods.
(1) Using standard solution in a 250 mL volumetric flask

Insert the sample tubing directly into the volumetric flask until it reaches the bottom
of the flask. Perform analyses quickly. Four to five repeated analyses can be made with
almost no effects from the absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Cover the
opening of the volumetric flask with sealing film or paraffin to prevent contamination.
Use this method when the IC value of the purified water used for standard solution
preparation (specifically, 0 µg/L standard solution) is about 50 µg/L or less.
(2) Sparging the standard solution
To sparge in the sample injection syringe, set the acid addition ratio to 0.5%, and the
sparge time to 1.5 minutes. To sparge using the optional external sparge kit, transfer
about 60 mL of the standard solution to a clean sample container, add 1-2 drops of
1 M hydrochloric acid, sparge for 10 minutes and analyze.
Cover the sample container with paraffin or sealing film to prevent contamination. A
glass container with an external diameter of 24-25 mm and a height of 200-250 mm
is appropriate. Test tubes, stopper-equipped test tubes and chromatography tubes of
suitable size are available commercially. If the outer diameter of the container is too
large, the air-to-water contact efficiency is decreased, requiring a longer sparge time.
Ensuring that the tip of the sparge tube is near the bottom of the container will
improve the sparging efficiency.
Sample Analysis
Use the calibration curve generated in the previous section to measure NPOC in the
sample. Measure the sample using the same method used for the calibration standards.
If the values gradually decrease with each repeated analysis using the optional external
sparge kit, extend the sparge time to ensure sufficient sparging. The shape of the sample
container, the sample amount, the amount of sparge gas and the IC content of the
sample all have a bearing on the required sparge time. Determine the appropriate sparge
time in accordance with these parameters.

n TC Blank Check Analysis
A TOC system invariably contains substances in the instrument flow lines that produce
peaks. These peaks are referred to as blank values or system blank values, and are present
even in water samples containing absolutely no carbon. The magnitude of peaks in the
blanks differs based on various factors such as system construction and the catalyst used.
For the TOC-L, every effort has been made to minimize these peaks, which can affect
the accuracy of TC analyses. Accuracy is particularly affected when trace TOC is measured
(such as in high sensitivity analysis of ultra-pure water samples); for this type of analysis,
the blank peaks must be small and stable. To check and correct for the magnitude of
the system blank peaks, use the TOC-Control L Blank Check procedure described below.
When using high-sensitivity TOC catalyst with this instrument, blank check measurement
is conducted using blank check water which is produced within the instrument itself.
Practically no blank peaks are generated in the IC measurement. Also, because 3

the IC value will become zero for water that has been acidified and sparged,
this phenomenon can be easily verified by analyzing such water in the IC
measurement. However, normally, such a procedure is not necessary. For this
reason, a special program similar to the TC blank measurement is not provided
for IC measurement.
Blank Check Measurement Procedure
1 Select an instrument in which the Catalyst type has been set for High Sensitivity,
and create a new Sample Table.
Do not enter anything into the Sample Table. The blank check sample will be
inserted automatically upon completion of the blank check setup operation.
Refer to "5.1.1 Creating a New System Configuration" P.124 to set up a new system
configuration. Refer to "5.3.1 Creating a Sample Table" P.146 to create a Sample Table.
2 Press Connect to establish communication between the Sample Table Editor and
the instrument.
Refer to "Connection" P.253 to connect the Sample Table Editor to the Instrument.

3 Select Instrument – Maintenance – Blank Check.
The Blank Check Parameters dialog box is displayed.
4 Enter the appropriate injection volume value.
5 Click Start.
The Measurement Start screen is displayed.
Refer to "Connection" P.253 for the procedure for connecting to the Instrument.

6 Click either Keep running, Shut down instrument or Sleep to determine the
action to be taken following the blank check analysis.
• Keep running: The instrument remains operational after the blank check.
• Shut down instrument: The instrument is switched OFF after the blank check.
• Sleep: The instrument enters the 'sleep' state after the blank check. The restart date
and time are set in the Auto Restart Time fields.
Selecting Qut the appliction will shut down the Sample Table Editor after a Keep
running, Shut down instrument, or Sleep process.
7 Fill the dilution water bottle to capacity with distilled water, and place it in the
specified position.
Although blank check measurement requires only about 200 mL, fill the bottle
to capacity.
8 Click Start.
The sample is inserted into the Sample Table, and blank check analysis begins.
TC Blank Check Analysis Sequence
(1) Washing the inside of the trap

First, the blank check ultra-pure water trap is washed with water from the dilution
water bottle. A 6 mL aliquot of dilution water is drawn into and then expelled from
the ultra-pure water trap (twice), leaving the trap nearly empty. Then 2 mL of dilution
water is injected into the TC injector Finally, the remaining water in the trap is drawn
into the syringe and expelled (4 times).
(2) Preparation of ultra-pure water for blank check
Six separate 2 mL aliquots of dilution water bottle are injected into the TC injector.
Then, the water in the trap is injected into the TC injector five more times in 2 mL
aliquots.

(3) Blank check analysis

The ultra-pure water collected in the trap for blank check analysis is used to conduct
5 repeat TC analyses at the set injection volume. Steps 2 and 3 are then repeated 9
times. The measurement result for each analysis is displayed, enabling assessment of
the magnitude and stability of the system blank value from the area values. If the
magnitude of the blank value must be read in terms of concentration, compare these
area values with those obtained through calibration curve measurement.
If the flow lines, syringe pump or catalyst is contaminated with foreign

substances, the blank values may not become small until the blank check
procedure is repeated multiple times.

n Pretreatment for IC Removal (Sparging)
Errors for TC and IC analyses are additive. For samples that have a comparatively large
IC concentrations relative to TOC concentrations, the TOC analysis error is large if it is
determined by the difference between TC and IC results. Samples of this type include
samples from water treatment facilities or from the natural environment, such as rivers,
lakes, swamps, oceans and groundwater.
Using the difference between TC and IC to determine TOC is not appropriate for purified
water or ultra-pure water samples. The CO2 in air dissolves in the sample and is measured
as IC, causing the concentration to vary.
In such cases, the sample is pretreated with aeration or sparging before analysis to
remove the IC. The sample is then subjected to TC analysis, immediately followed by TOC
analysis using the NPOC method.
Sparge Sequence 3
There are two methods for sparging with this instrument.
(1) Sparging in the sample injector syringe

The sparge gas flow rate is variable on the H Type instrument and fixed to 80 mL/min
on the N Type instrument.
(2) Independent sparging of sample using the optional external sparge kit
A glass container with an external diameter of 24-25 mm and a height of 200-250 mm
is appropriate for use as the sample container. Test tubes, stopper-equipped test tubes
and chromatography tubes of suitable size are available commercially. If the outer
diameter of the container is too large, the air to water contact efficiency is decreased,
requiring a longer sparge time. As a guide, the sparge time should be about 5 to 10
minutes for a sample of 20 to 40 mL.
Sparge Procedure
1 Refer to "3.1.11 Adjusting Sparge Gas Flow Rate" P.49 for the sparge gas delivery
procedure.
2 Add 1 M hydrochloric acid to the sample to adjust the pH to 2-3.
3 Insert the sparge tubing into the sample.

To improve the sparging efficiency, the tip of the sparge tubing should be as close to
the bottom of the sample container as possible.
In this method, sparge gas can be used independently. While the first sample is
being measured, another sample can be sparged, thereby improving analysis
efficiency.

n Analysis of Samples Containing Suspended Solids
Effect on Analysis
Large variations sometimes occur in TOC analyses of samples containing suspended solids
because TOC is often contained in the suspended material. This effect is evident when
the same sample is analyzed on two different TOC analyzers. Good results are not
obtained if the suspended solids are handled differently in the gathering of biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD) and TOC correlative data.
The suspended solids described here are primarily considered impurities in the sample
that will pass through a 50 mesh strainer (openings of approximately 0.28 mm). When
larger solid particles are present, analysis should be performed without drawing water
into the instrument.
The procedure described below is for TOC analysis, but is also valid for TN analysis.
Analysis Restrictions
Since PTFE tubing with an inner diameter of about 0.5 mm is used in the instrument for
injecting the sample, suspended solids that do not pass through cannot be measured.
Analysis reproducibility is poor for samples that do not uniformly contain such solids even
if they should pass through the tubing.
Solids that are heavy and readily form sediment, such as silt, can accumulate at the
bottom of the syringe. This can scratch the rotor of the sample injector 8-port valve,
causing leaks. Sedimentation and separation should be performed to as great an extent
as possible prior to analysis.

Countermeasures
The following types of processing operations are normally used for measuring samples
containing suspended solids.
(1) TOC Analysis of Supernatant

In situations when the suspended solids are of no great concern, sedimentation occurs
in the sample container, and the supernatant sample is used. Results depend on the
sedimentation and separation properties of the suspended solids, but usually the
dissolved TOC (DOC: dissolved organic carbon) is measured.
(2) TOC Analysis of Filtrate
The suspended solids are removed using glass fiber filter paper or a membrane filter,
and only the dissolved TOC is measured. Because the filter paper or filter itself is likely
to contain TOC, thorough washing with water or sample is performed prior to use
until no TOC is present in the eluate. Perform heat treatment on the filter for glass
fiber filter paper.
(3) TOC Analysis of Stirred Samples 3
To perform intentional analysis of suspended solids, the sample is stirred using a
magnetic stirrer or other instrument. Simple stirring can lead to extreme variability in
the results because the suspended solids contained in the sample may not be
distributed uniformly throughout the suspension.
(4) TOC Analysis after Homogenization of the Sample
If the application requires that the suspended solids be included in the analysis, it is
critical that the solids are as fine as possible and distributed uniformly throughout the
suspension. Accurate and reproducible TOC results can be obtained when the sample
is highly homogenized to form uniform micro-size particles.
Homogenizing systems may include a mixer to perform high-speed stirring or an
ultrasonic system. (These are homogenizers with outputs of 150-300 W. Typical washing
sonicators do not have sufficient output for this use.) Ultrasonic systems are generally
more powerful, though performance varies with the type of suspended solids.
Uniform suspension cannot always be achieved with all types of suspended solids.
Sludge-like materials are comparatively easy to process while fibrous materials are more
difficult.

n Handling Samples Containing Acids, Bases or Salts
Various problems can be encountered when measuring samples that contain acids, bases
or salts. Such problems include corrosion of the NDIR analysis cell as well as detrimental
effects on analysis values and the life of the combustion tube and catalyst. If corrosion
of the inner surface of the NDIR cell occurs, baseline stability will decline and noise will
increase. Samples containing acids, bases or salts should be handled as described below.
The concentration at which adverse effects are produced varies depending on the type
of acid or salt and the TOC or TN concentration. Prior to analysis, dilute the sample so
that acid, base and salt concentrations are reduced to 1000 mg/L or less. Neutralization
is also required for bases. The TOC-L is equipped with an automatic dilution function to
perform these dilutions.
The optional B-type halogen scrubber is effective at protecting the NDIR cell with respect
to the analysis of samples that contain a concentration of salt equal or equivalent to
that of sea water. For details on B-type halogen scrubber specifications, refer to Section
8.3.8.
Acid
Dilution to a concentration of 1000 mg/L or less is desirable for acids. Concentrations up
to 5000 mg/L can be used if this level of dilution cannot be attained. Note that there
are also methods to reduce the acidity of hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid to a more
neutral pH of 2 to 3 using potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. This process
produces thermally stable sodium chloride or sodium sulfate, which prevent the
generation of acidic gas during sample combustion. Acid neutralization should be stopped
at a pH of about 2 to 3 and TOC direct analysis (NPOC analysis) should then be performed
after sparging to remove any IC. It is necessary to consider the TOC associated with
impurities contained in the alkali reagents used for neutralization. All salts of nitric acid
generate acidic gas under thermal decomposition; as a result, neutralization is ineffective.
When the sample contains hydrochloric or hypochlorous acid, hydrochloric acid gas is
generated from salts that are readily subject to thermal decomposition, such as
ammonium chloride, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride. The instrument is
equipped with a halogen scrubber; however, the scrubber's main function is absorb
hydrochloric acid gas generated by corrosion of the gold plating on the internal surface
of the NDIR cell.
Alkaline samples
When performing TC analysis on alkaline samples, the following problems can arise:
• Rapid decrease in sensitivity and loss of reproducibility
• Rapid degradation of catalyst or wear of the combustion tube
• Likelihood that IC will be high due to absorption of carbon dioxide
For these reasons, the NPOC analysis is suitable for alkaline samples.
In NPOC analysis, dilute hydrochloric acid is added first to adjust the solution to a pH
of 2 to 3. This causes a reaction that generates salt. For example, calcium chloride will
be formed as a salt if the sample contains calcium hydroxide as the base. Since it is
preferable for this salt concentration to be low, alkaline samples should be diluted as
much as possible.

Salt accumulation
Samples should be diluted as much as possible to reduce the salt concentration and
extend the life of the combustion tube and catalyst. Conducting a large number of
analyses on samples containing salts will allow the salts to accumulate in the combustion
tube, gradually increasing resistance to the flow of carrier gas and resulting in decreased
analysis reproducibility. When decreased reproducibility is observed, perform the
combustion tube maintenance procedure described in "7.2.4 Washing/Replacing the
Combustion Tube and Carrier Gas Purification Tube (Option)" P.326.
Identifying Salt Accumulation

The following situations arise when salts accumulate and clog the catalyst:
• The sound of gas release is heard when the slider moves during analysis.
• A dramatic fluctuation in carrier gas flow is noticed after the sample is injected.

3.1.20 Sample Preparation for Autosampler Measurement
n Vial Types
The three types of ASI-L vial are 9 mL, 24 mL, and 40 mL vials. There are two models
of ASI-L unit, one is dedicated to 24 mL vials and the other supports both 9 mL and
40 mL vials. The sample volume associated with each vial type is shown below. Introduce
the specified volume of sample into each vial to basically attain the sample volume shown
in Table 3.1. When using the external sparge kit to sparge ASI-L vials in NPOC analysis,
reduce the sample volume to minimize contact between sample droplets and the vial cap
caused by sparging.
Table 3.1 Sample Volume for Each Vial Type
Sample Volume When Sparging ASI-L Vials

Vial Type Sample Volume
with the External Sparge Kit
9 mL 8.5 mL2 6.4 mL1
24 mL 22 mL4 20 mL3
40 mL 38 mL4 35 mL3
• Note1: Sample volume when sample is introduced up to about 17 mm from

the top of the vial.
• Note2: Sample volume when sample is introduced up to about 10 mm from
the top of the vial.
• Note3: Sample volume when sample is introduced to about 10 mm from the
bottom of vial cap.
• Note4: Sample volume when sample is introduced to about 5 mm from the
bottom of vial cap.
The following restrictions apply when using 9 mL vials.

• This vial size is not suited to high sensitivity analysis, such as pure water analysis,
because the maximum sensitivity range becomes 0 to 1 mg/L (analysis using a calibration
curve full scale of 1 mg/L).
• Commercially available aluminum foil should be used to seal the vial because dedicated
septums are not provided.
• The magnetic stirrer cannot be used.
• TC-IC analysis, NPOC-IC analysis, and NPOC+POC analysis cannot be performed.
Wash any new vials using laboratory glassware detergent and then rinse them
thoroughly with water before use.

Maximum Number of Measurements by Vial Type

The tables below indicate the full scale values of the calibration curve and the maximum
number of measurements possible under those conditions for the 24 mL and 40 mL vials,
respectively, when they are filled with the specified volume of sample. This assumes use
of the software-recommended injection volume, and the default 2 washes. As for TC-IC
measurement, the calibration curve full scale is the same for both TC and IC. As for
NPOC-IC measurement, the calibration curve full scale for IC is about 1/10 of NPOC
(because the concentration of IC to measure is expected to be significantly less than
NPOC). The values in the table are the calibration full scale values for NPOC.
When TC measurement, TC-IC measurement and NPOC measurement are all performed
from a 40 mL vial, the maximum number of measurements is shortened by 1 – 3
measurements.

When using a TOC-LCPN, perform measurement using a calibration curve full scale
greater than 1 mg/L.

The target measurement range for three repeated measurements using 9 mL vials is
shown in "Table 3.4 Maximum Number of Measurements Using 9 mL Vials".
The table indicates the maximum number of measurements when using TOC standard
catalyst, the automatic setting for the sample injection volume, and stream washing is
set to once only. If residual removal is insufficient between vial usages when washing is
set to once only, performing analysis with vials of pure water placed between every other
vial can improve residual problems.

n Filling Vials with Sample
In most cases, vials can be placed in the ASI-L turntable and analyzed without being
sealed. Vials must be sealed in the following situations:
(1) sparging with the ASI-L for NPOC analysis

(2) measuring acidic samples
(3) IC analysis
(4) POC analysis
(5) low-concentration samples (as a guideline, less than 10 mg/L)
(6) alkaline samples (pH 7 or higher)
(7) samples that contain volatile organic hydrocarbon components
(8) a large number of samples to be measured
(9) standard solutions
In situations (1) and (2) above, corrosion of the instrument may occur due to spattering
of sample, which contains acid.
In situations (3) through (9), results may be affected by either volatilization of the TOC
components in the sample or contamination from substances that absorb CO2 from the
atmosphere. If aluminum foil is used to cap the sample vial for NPOC or acidic sample
measurement, there is a danger of acid volatilization through the hole caused by
insertion of the needle. Do not use aluminum foil to cap the vials.

Sealing Sample Vials

There are two acceptable methods for sealing vials: (1) using the caps provided with the
vials, or (2) using aluminum foil or commercially available sealing material.
However, because the airtightness of aluminum foil seals are poor, their use may cause
corrosion inside the ASI-L due to the vaporization of acid in NPOC analysis and acidic
sample measurement, which both use the ASI-L to perform sparging. For these types of
measurements, use seals that are airtight.
Note that Shimadzu does not recommend using Parafilm seals because pieces of this seal
can become attached to the needle and prevent normal sample extraction.
Regardless of the type of seal used, always use vials after washing them with
water or laboratory glassware detergent and then rising them thoroughly with
water.
Using Caps 3
For 24 mL and 40 mL vials
Caps and seals are provided with these vials.
1 Place a seal over the vial opening.
2 Cap the vial over the seal.
Because the seals are perforated during injection, discard the seals after use.

n Placing Vials in the Vial Rack
Remove the vial rack from the ASI-L before inserting the sample vials. There are three
different types of vial racks, each accommodating a different vial size.
The ASI-L permits random access of vials in the vial rack. Vials are measured according
to the sequence set in the Sample Table Editor, thus enabling analysis to start from any
position number in the vial rack, and for analysis to occur in non-sequential vial positions.
Ensure that the vials are placed into the vial rack vertically and that they remain straight
during analysis.
When samples are to be sparged using the optional external sparge kit, analysis is
performed more efficiently if the vials are placed in sequential rack positions without gaps.
This allows a vial to be sparged while an adjacent vial is being measured.
Installing the Vial Rack

Install the rack using the following procedure.
1 Insert the vials into the vial rack and place the rack on the ASI-L turntable.
2 Place the cover over the turntable.
During analysis, the turntable must be covered. The ASI-L will not operate if the
turntable cover is not detected.
n Rinse Water Preparation
Replenishing the Rinse Water

Replenish the rinse water in the rinse bottle. Ensure that the rinse water level reaches
above the 2 L indication on the rinse bottle.
Inserting the Rinse Tubing

Insert the rinse tubing as shown in "Figure 3.33 Rinse Tubing Placement". Place the
provided tubing ring-band over the end of the tubing, and slide the ring band up the
tubing until it reaches the bottle cap and about 200 mm of the tubing extends into the
rinse bottle. Verify that the end of the rinse tubing descends to a point just above the
bottom of the bottle.
Rinse water will not flow properly if the rinse tube is not inserted correctly, and
measurement values may be adversely affected.

Figure 3.33 Rinse Tubing Placement
Rinse Water Usage

The required volume of rinse water will vary depending on the measurement parameters.
The information in Table 3.5 can serve as a guide, ensure that there is always a sufficient
volume of rinse water. If the capacity of the provided 2 L bottle is insufficient, use a
container with greater capacity.

n High Sensitivity ASI-L Analysis
If samples with TOC concentrations of 100 µg/L or less (such as purified water or
ultra-pure water) are measured using an ASI-L, the following precautions associated with
high sensitivity analysis must be considered. Refer to "High Sensitivity Analysis" P.68 for
additional information.
• NPOC analysis is recommended. TOC (TC-IC) analysis tends to have a greater variation
in measured values than the NPOC analysis because IC often accounts for a significant
portion of the TC, and the errors in the two values are additive, which significantly
affects TOC analysis.
• To generate a calibration curve, fill well-washed vials with standard solutions to about
5-10 mm from the top of the vial, and immediately seal each vial.
Use a cap that has been washed with purified water prior to use.
When placing the vial in the rack, handle the vial carefully to avoid contact between
the standard solution and the cap. 3
Low-concentration standard solutions must be prepared each time they are used.
• To stabilize the peaks, perform 4 to 5 injections using the same analysis parameters
prior to analyzing the calibration standard solutions. For example, to generate a
400 µg/L calibration curve, place a 0 µg/L standard solution in vial position 1 and
measure it 4 to 5 times using the same analysis parameters that were selected for the
calibration curve. Refer to "5.3.2 Creating a Calibration Curve File" P.147. The objective
at this point is not to generate a calibration curve, but to inject water using the same
injection volume used for the calibration curve that is to be generated. This not only
stabilizes peaks but also thoroughly washes the sample needle and sparge needle with
purified water.
After the stabilizing injections are complete, place the 0 µg/L and 400 µg/L calibration
standard solutions in vial positions 2 and 3, insert the calibration standards into the
Sample Table Editor, and start measurement. Refer to "5.3.2 Creating a Calibration
Curve File" P.147.
• Acid addition for NPOC analysis can be performed automatically using the ASI-L. It is
best to perform manual addition of hydrochloric acid for NPOC analysis on the order
of 10 µg/L. This is because, automatic acid addition pierces the vial seal and allows CO2
contamination from the air.
• In the ASI tab of the Instrument Properties window, ensure that needle washing is not
conducted by setting the No. of Flow Wash (between vials) to 0.
Even if ultra-pure water is used as rinse water, the TOC concentration of the rinse
water will increase during the time it is exposed. For best results, do not rinse the
needle for analyses on the order of 100 µg/L.
• Do not use the analysis value acquired from the first sample vial. In sample analysis,
particularly analysis on the order of 10 µg/L, the first sample measured may yield high
results.
• When using the optional external sparge kit, use the standard sparge gas flow rate of
100 mL/min. The recommended sparging times are displayed as 3 minutes for 9 mL
vials, 6 minutes for 24 mL vials, and 10 minutes for 40 mL vials. If sparging is
insufficient, increase the gas flow rate or the sparging time accordingly.

n Acid Addition in NPOC Analysis
Installation of the optional external sparge kit allows sample acidification/sparging to be

conducted in the ASI-L during NPOC measurement. In this case, acid addition for
acidification can be performed automatically in the ASI-L.
When analysis is started, acid is first drawn from the acid bottle into the syringe and
then the set amount of acid is added from the sampling needle into all vials that have
been designated for acid addition. Use 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid as the standard acid for
addition. While the acid addition ratio (ratio of acid with respect to the sample) should
normally be set to about 1 to 3 %, purified water analysis can use a setting as low as
about 0.5 %.
The hydrochloric acid concentration or amount added should be adjusted in accordance
with the sample pH or buffering strength to bring the sample pH to 2-3. Prior to analysis,
verify that the pH is 2-3 using pH paper. The pH need not be checked each time if the
same type of sample is routinely measured.
Hydrochloric acid is a hazardous chemical. Exercise caution when handling to

prevent contact and spills.
If the sample pH does not reach a value between 2 and 3, increase the acid addition
ratio or the acid concentration. Excessively increasing the acid addition ratio will result
in dilution of the sample. On the other hand, if the acid amount is too small, the size
of the acid droplet on the tip of the needle will not be large enough to drop from the
needle.
Visually observe the process through the glass vial to determine if the acid droplet is
actually added to the sample.
The needle will be rinsed following each acid addition by placing a check mark next to
the Needle Rinse (after acid addition) item in the ASI tab of the Instrument Properties
window. To save time during the analysis sequence, rinsing of the needle is unnecessary
if the variation in NPOC concentration among the samples is not large.
n Sparging in NPOC Analysis
Installation of the optional external sparge kit allows sparging to be performed on

samples in vials in the ASI-L. This allows sparging of the next sample while the sample
in the vial at the sampling position is being analyzed. The recommended sparging time
settings are displayed as 3 minutes for 9 mL vials, 6 minutes for 24 mL vials, and 10
minutes for 40 mL vials. If sparging is insufficient, increase the gas flow rate or the
sparging time accordingly.
The standard sparge gas flow rate is 100 mL/min. If the sparge gas flow rate is set too
high, sample will be spattered onto the cap seal. Adjust the sparge gas flow rate to
avoid spattering.
To verify that enough IC is removed during sparging using the ASI-L to enable unhindered
NPOC analysis, perform IC analysis on the remaining sample following NPOC analysis.

When the vials are capped and sparging is performed without automatic acid
addition via ASI-L, pierce the caps before analysis by using the tip of a
provided needle or other instrument. This allows the sparge gas to vent. If
sparge gas is not vented from the vials, pressure will build inside the vials
and prevent effective sparging.
Note that the inside surfaces of the sparging needle may corrode due to
unwanted sample entry when conducting measurements other than NPOC
measurement that involve acidification and sparging of vials in the ASI-L
(including TC measurement, IC measurement, and NPOC measurement that
performed acidification and sparging within the TOC-L) over long periods of
time. For this reason, Shimadzu recommends removing the sparging needle
when performing these types of measurements.
n Stirrer Preparation 3
When using the optional magnetic stirrer on the ASI-L, perform the following procedure
to enable the magnetic stirrer. After attaching the optional magnetic stirrer, use the
following procedure to enable use of the stirrer.
The rotation speed can also be set as necessary.
Procedure
1 Display the Instrument Properties screen associated with the instrument settings
that will be used for measurement.
Refer to "5.1.2 Reviewing and Editing a System Configuration" P.134, to display the
Instrument Properties window.
2 Select the ASI tab.
3 Place a check mark next to Activate Stirrer to enable this option.
4 Click OK.

Adjusting the Rotation Speed
1 Adjust the rotation speed by turning the stirrer rotation speed adjustment dial
at the bottom of the right side of the ASI-L.
Precautions for Using an ASI-L Equipped with a Magnetic Stirrer

Follow these precautions when using an ASI-L equipped with a magnetic stirrer.
(1) When conducting measurement of a sample containing suspended solids, perform

pretreatment homogenization of the sample to obtain a uniform distribution of the
smallest possible particles. Apply a powerful enough homogenization process such as,
ultrasonication, to crush the suspended particles as much as possible. The magnetic
stirrer is not designed to perform such homogenization.
Stirring a non-homogeneous sample will not provide a uniform suspension. This will
result in poor measurement reproducibility.
(2) Depending on the characteristics of the suspended particles such as, shape, specific
gravity, size, strength and degree of cohesion, the stirrer bar may not be able to
sufficiently agitate the sample. For example, solid particles with a high specific gravity
sink to the bottom and prevent formation of a good mixture.
Magnetic Stirrer Operation

• Two types of magnetic stirrers are available, one for the 24 mL and one for the 40 mL
size vials. 9 mL vials cannot be used.
• Only the outermost four rows of the vial tray are accessible to the magnetic stirrer.
When using 24 mL vials, the innermost row of vials are inaccessible to the stirrer.
When using 40 mL vials, all vials are accessible to the stirrer.
• The magnetic stirrer only agitates vials in the current sampling position and the next
sampling position. Proper mixing is not performed even if the stirrer bar can rotate at
other vial positions. For example, if vial number 20 is selected, stirring is performed for
vial 20 (sampling position) and vial 21 (next sampling position).
• Depending on the shape of the vial bottom, the stirrer bar rotation axis may shift.
However this has almost no effect on the effectiveness of the stirring.
• Adjust the stirrer rotation speed according to the sample properties. Use the stirrer
speed control dial on the right side of the ASI-L. Be careful not to increase the speed
excessively, as this can cause the stirrer bar to jump around instead of rotate.
• Turning the stirrer on and off repeatedly while the stirrer is set at the lowest speed
may cause fluctuations to occur in the motor speeds. This is due to the relationship
between the resistance values inside the motor and the impressed voltage, and only
occurs when the motor voltage is small. If this occurs, readjust the rotation speed using
the following procedure.

Procedure
1 Open the Instrument Properties window associated with the instrument used for
measurement.
Instrument Properties screen.
2 Select the ASI tab.
3 Remove the check mark from the Activate Stirrer item.
4 Turn the stirrer speed control dial on the right side of the ASI-L to the maximum
speed position.
3
5 Replace the check mark next to the Activate Stirrer item. Clicking this item
several more times to turn it on and off repeatedly
6 Ensure that the check mark remains next to Activate Stirrer and reduce the
rotation speed using the control dial.
7 After the motor speeds are appropriated reset, click OK.

If the speeds do not reset, repeat the procedure from step 3.

3.1.21 OCT-L (8-Port Sampler) Measurement
n Sample Container
There are no restrictions on the type of sample containers that can be used with the
OCT-L. It is only necessary that the containers be placed so the sample tubing from the
various ports can be inserted directly into the containers.
Wash all sample containers with an appropriate laboratory detergent, and rinse
them thoroughly with water before using them for the first time.
n Loading the Sample
Open sample containers can be used to perform sample measurement with the OCT-L.
However, in the following situations, it is necessary to seal the sample container.
(1) when performing IC measurement

(2) when performing POC measurement
(3) when performing measurement of low concentration samples (e.g., 10 mg/L)
(4) when performing measurement of alkali samples of pH 7 or higher
(5) when performing measurement of samples containing volatile organic carbon
compounds
(6) when the number of samples is so great as to require a long measurement time
(7) when performing measurement of standard solutions
If the sample container openings are not sealed in the situations listed above,
measurement values may be influenced by such factors as absorption of
atmospheric CO2, contamination with carbon containing substances, and
evaporation of TOC constituents from the samples.
Sealing the Sample Containers

Sample containers may be sealed using commercial sealing films such as Parafilm. It is
also possible to pierce the lid of the container and insert the sample tubing into the
container through this opening.
In either case, wash the container with a laboratory detergent, and rinse it
thoroughly with water before use.
Sealing the Container with Parafilm
1 Cut a piece of Parafilm to size according to the size of the sample vessel opening.
2 Insert the tip of the sampling tube into the vessel, cover the opening with the
prepared Parafilm, and seal the opening of the vessel, stretching the Parafilm
over the edges. Be sure that a very small gap in the seal is formed to prevent
creation of negative pressure inside the vessel.

3 Press the overlapping portions of the Parafilm around the neck of the opening.
Figure 3.34 Sealing the Container 3
n High Sensitivity Using the OCT-L
If samples such as purified water or ultra-pure water, having a TOC concentration of

100ppb or less, are to be measured using the OCT-L, it is necessary to consider the
following precautions associated with high sensitivity analysis. Refer to "High Sensitivity
Analysis" P.68 in the TOC-LCPH/CPN USER'S MANUAL for more information.
(1) NPOC analysis is recommended because TOC (TC-IC) analysis tends to have a greater
variation in measured values than NPOC. This is because IC often accounts for a
significant portion of the TC, and the errors in the two values are additive using TOC
(TC-IC) analysis. This affect significantly influences TOC analysis.
(2) For calibration measurement of standard solutions, fill well-washed containers with
standard solutions to about 5-10 mm from the top of the container, and immediately
seal each container. When placing the container below the OCT-L, handle it carefully
to avoid the standard solution contacting the sealing surface. Low-concentration
standard solutions must be prepared each time they are used.
(3) To ensure that the peaks are stable for generating the calibration curve, perform 4-5
injections using the same analysis parameters prior to performing the calibration curve
analysis. For example, to generate a 400 ppb calibration curve, set 400 ppb as the 1st
standard solution concentration, and enter 1 as the container number. Actually place
a 0 µg/L solution in the vial for port No. 1. The objective of these settings at this point
is not to generate a calibration curve, but to inject water using the same injection
volume that will be used to generate the calibration curve. This allows stabilized peaks
to be obtained.
In the 2nd row of the settings screen and using the same calibration curve number as
above, set the analysis parameters for 0 ppb and 400 ppb. When sample measurement
starts, the calibration curve to be used will be created with the correct standard
solutions.

5.2.6 File Types Used
The types of files created and used in the Sample Table Editor are described below.
Sample Table File (*.tlxl)

The measurement parameters and results for each sample are recorded in this file.
A template containing the measurement parameters is inserted into the sample table file,
and measurement is conducted.
Calibration Curve File (*.cals, *.cald)

The calibration curve file is a template file containing the calibration curve generation
parameters.
A file (Example: ABC.cals) is created consisting of the calibration curve generation
parameters set using the calibration curve wizard, and is inserted into the sample table.
When measurement is conducted, a separate date and time appended file having the
same name (Example: ABC.2020_06_19_11_46_37.cald), is created.
The file containing the calibration curve generation parameters, such as the
above-mentioned ABC.cals, is distinguished by the sample table editor as a calibration
curve parameter file.
Selecting the calibration curve parameters file as the calibration curve to be used to
calculate the concentration of unknown samples ensures that the most recently generated
calibration curve, identified by the file name and date, is used for calculation.
Method File (*.metl)

The method file is a template file that contains the measurement parameters for the
unknown sample. This file is inserted into the sample table, and unknown sample 5
measurement is conducted.
Control Sample File (*.tpll)

A control sample is a known sample used to verify the instrument operation. The control
sample file is a template file that contains the control sample measurement parameters,
and the regular measurement parameters such as, error limit values (upper, lower limits),
and actions to be taken (re-analysis, stop, etc.) when such limits are exceeded.
This file is inserted into the sample table, and measurement of the control sample is
conducted.
Schedule File (*.tscl)

The schedule file is template file that contains the measurement parameters for multiple
samples and their order of measurement.
The sample table format schedule file (*.tsc) can be edited in the same way as a sample
table file (*.tlx) using the sample table editor. The measurement parameters,
measurement sequence, vial to be used, etc. can all be edited. The created schedule file
can be imported to the sample table file. The schedule file can also be output from the
created sample table file.

When Tenfold SD value of blank water is set, the value calculated using the following
method is taken as the instrument's quantitative lower limit and output to the Notes
A 2-point calibration curve is derived from the zero point (blank water) and span point
(set concentration) measurement results. The quantitative lower limit value is tenfold that
of the CV value of the concentration calculated from the target (blank water)
measurement result using the calibration curve.
When Verify CV value of target conc. is set, repeatability is evaluated in the following
manner for the set target concentration value and the result is output to the Notes
A 2-point calibration curve is derived from the zero point (blank water) and span point
(set concentration) measurement results. The repeatability is the CV value of the
concentration calculated from the target (1/10 of the set concentration) measurement
result using the calibration curve.
The quantitative lower limit is significantly affected by instrument usage. The instrument
is considered to be in an acceptable condition if the quantitative lower limit is less than
30 µg/L when using TOC high sensitivity catalyst for the H Type, and less than 150 µg/L
in all other cases.

6.1.3 Precautions for Low Concentration Samples
In manual injections of sample concentrations lower than 1 mg/L, it is necessary to take

the following precautions to prevent contamination of the sample and the measurement
process.
• Injecting Sample into the Injection Port
Use a separate micro syringe (500 µL) for high sensitivity measurement. Any
contamination on the sample injection port may affect the result for high sensitivity
measurement.The inside of the injection port can be contaminated by sample solution
that adheres to the tip of the micro syringe needle. When inserting the micro syringe
into the injection port, use extreme care to avoid touching the tapered portion of the
inside of the sample injection port. After filling the syringe, wipe the excess solution
from the needle surface with soft tissue paper. Prevent excess drops of solution from
forming on the tip of the needle by gently pulling back on the plunger.
• Cleaning the Sample Injection Port
Under normal operating conditions, fill a 500 µL micro syringe with pure water and
insert it into the injection port. Keep the bottom of the syringe barrel 8-10 mm above
the injection port. Under normal operation, the bottom of the syringe barrel is inserted
until it comes into contact with the injection port allowing the needle tip to protrude
from the needle guide pipe by about 5-6 mm. With the needle 8-10 mm higher than
normal operation, the tip of the needle inside the needle guide pipe. Slowly dispense
the pure water. The pure water does not flow into the combustion tube. It is driven
out of the injection port by the carrier gas flowing through the needle guide pipe.
Wipe off the water coming out of the injection tube with soft tissue paper. The internal
injection port and inside of the needle guide pipe are now clean.
• Measurement of service water or contamination free environmental water, such as river
water, often reveals that IC is the major part of TC when the TOC content is around
1 mg/L. For these types of samples it is preferable to remove the IC content before
measuring TOC through the TC channel.
Errors for TC and IC analyses are additive. For samples that have a comparatively high
IC content relative to the TOC content, the TOC analysis error will be large if it is
determined by the difference between TC and IC results.

6.1.4 Manual Injection Kit Maintenance
n Replacing the IC Injection Port Septum (Cushion O-Ring)
The septum used with the IC injection port is a consumable item. The septum is typically
useful for 200 or more injections; however, it should be replaced if reproducibility or
peak shape deterioration is detected.
Part number for replacement cushion O-ring (20 pcs.): P/N S630-01559-01
Replacement Procedure
1 Loosen and remove the injection port bushing.
2 Remove the old septum, and insert a new one.
3 Replace the bushing and tighten it.
IC reaction solution may spatter close to the injection port septum and
injection port. This poses no problem during analysis. When replacing the
septum, wipe away any liquid, taking care to avoid contact.
n Gas-Tight Syringe
For analysis, use a needle length of 50 mm, or a 2-inch gas-tight syringe. The following
gas-tight syringes are available from Shimadzu. Order replacement syringes as necessary.

6.2 Gas Sample Analysis

This section describes the measurement of gas samples using the optional manual
injection kit.
If the optional manual injection kit is installed, analysis of TC and IC in gaseous samples
can be performed by using gas-tight syringes or other applicable injectors to inject the
gaseous samples.
6.2.1 Precautions for Gas Sample Analysis
• Do not inject a large quantity of sample at one time when measuring

combustible or explosive gases. The combustion tube could break. The
injection volume should not exceed 10 mL.
• Use caution when measuring combustible or explosive gases.
• Do not analyze samples that can release toxic substances during combustion.
The exhaust gas released during analysis passes through the CO2 detector to
the CO2 absorber, after which it is used as NDIR purge gas, and then is
vented inside the instrument. Take appropriate countermeasures if there is a
possibility that toxic substances could be included in the exhaust gas. If
appropriate countermeasures cannot be taken, do not perform such analyses.
• The sample analysis results are displayed according to the gas concentration used in
calibration. For example, if CO2 is used to generate the calibration curve, the sample
analysis result is displayed based on a conversion using the CO2 gas concentration.
• Gaseous samples have certain properties such as adsorption, condensation and reactivity,
and some gaseous samples are partially liquid or contain a solid component. Depending
on the properties, certain conditions may occur that cannot be ignored. Some of these
conditions are residual substances and contamination in the flow line, which may result
in peak tailing, carryover, baseline fluctuation, or other analytical problems.
• High concentrations of NOx or SOx in the sample or in the post combustion-oxidized
sample can interfere with the NDIR activity. To evaluate the degree of the interference,
combine the analysis of the base gas without the TOC component together with the
sample analysis.
6.2.2 Analysis Preparation

Verify that the water level in the drain vessel on the left side of the instrument is near
the position of the overflow tube on the side of the drain vessel (within 10 mm) before
using the instrument. Replenish as necessary with purified water (ion-exchange water).
Refer to "3.1.6 Water Supply to the Cooler Drain Vessel" P.43 for details on adding purified
water.
Confirm that the carrier gas does not leak from the tip of the drain tubing when the
flow rate is 150 mL/min.
7.1.4 Checking Humidifier Water Level
Figure 7.2 Humidifier Water Level
Verify that the water level in the humidifier is above the "Lo" mark. If the level is below
the "Lo" mark, replenish by adding purified water through the water supply port on top
of the vessel. Add water until the level reaches the "Hi" mark.

7.1 Daily Inspection
7.1.5 Inspecting the Liquid in the B-Type Halogen Scrubber (Option)
Check the level of liquid (0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid) in the B-type halogen scrubber
and amount of remaining stainless mesh before using the instrument, and if necessary,
top up the liquid or replace the stainless mesh.
The liquid level in the B-type halogen scrubber decreases over time when the instrument
is waiting for analysis to start (and the carrier gas is flowing), the sample injection volume
is small, or the interval between analyses is large during analysis. Always check the liquid
level before starting analysis and, if necessary, refill the vessel with 0.05 mol/L
hydrochloric acid (this is important when performing continuous analysis over an
extended period of time using the autosampler). Although the liquid color turns blue or
brown with use, this is normal.

care to prevent spills and contact with the skin. For details, refer to "8.9 Safety
The ability to absorb halogen stops if the amount of liquid in the B-type
halogen scrubber decreases enough to prevent the carrier gas from bubbling
or if the stainless mesh for absorption dissolves completely. Before starting
analysis, always verify that the liquid level is up to the height of the branching
tube in the vessel of the B-type halogen scrubber and the scrubber contains
stainless mesh for absorption.

7.2 Periodic Inspections

Describes periodic inspection procedures for the TOC-L.
Periodically inspect the items listed in this section to maintain instrument performance
quality.
7.2.1 Catalyst Regeneration
Inorganic substances contained in the samples accumulate in the catalyst as salts and
oxides. Buildup of these residues decreases the sensitivity and reproducibility of analyses.
(Catalyst performance can be checked by measuring a standard solution.) This type of
catalyst contamination occurs when measuring alkaline samples and samples that contain
high concentrations of IC compounds. When catalyst contamination occurs, performance
can be restored by regenerating the catalyst. Catalyst regeneration is also an effective
means of reducing the system blank peaks that are present when using new catalyst or
catalyst that has not been used for a long time. The catalyst regeneration procedure has
little effect on TN analysis.
Catalyst is regenerated by injecting dilute hydrochloric acid onto the catalyst. The acid
used in the procedure is 1 M hydrochloric acid obtained from the instrument reservoir
(acid used during IC and NPOC analysis). The catalyst regeneration process is the same
for both TOC standard catalyst and TOC high sensitivity catalyst. If performance is not
restored after the regeneration process has been conducted, replace the catalyst. Refer
to "7.2.2 Washing or Replacing Catalyst" P.322.
Regeneration Procedure
Perform catalyst regeneration according to the following procedure.
1 Verify that the Ready indicator lights up once the Sample Table Editor connects
to the instrument.
Refer to "Connection" P.253 for the procedure for connecting to the Instrument.

2 Open the Sample Table tab of the file viewer. Right-click on the connected
system configuration icon, and select Maintenance – Regeneration of the TC
Catalyst.
The Regeneration of TC-Catalyst window is displayed.
The Regeneration of TC-Catalyst window can also be displayed by selecting Instrument –

Maintenance – Regeneration of the TC Catalyst.
3 Click Start.
The catalyst regeneration process begins. A progress bar is active until the TC catalyst
has been regenerated.
7
4 After the process is complete, click Close.
The window closes.
Dilute hydrochloric acid is the only type of acid that can be used to regenerate
TC catalyst. Other acids, particularly phosphoric acid, cause abnormally high
peaks and scattered peak values to occur. If this happens, the catalyst must
be replaced.

7 Maintenance
7.2.2 Washing or Replacing Catalyst
Large quantities of salts accumulate in the catalyst when measuring samples with high
salt concentrations. If sensitivity and reproducibility do not improve after catalyst
regeneration, wash or replace the catalyst. Refer to "7.2.1 Catalyst Regeneration" P.320.
Note that TOC high sensitivity catalyst cannot be washed or reused.
Removing the Combustion Tube

Remove the combustion tube according to the following procedure.
For details on installing the combustion tube, refer to "3.1.3 Connecting the Combustion
Tube" P.26.
• Allow the electric furnace to cool to room temperature for at least six hours
• Combustion tubes are made of quartz glass. Always wear protective leather
• Do not use wrenches or other such tools. Doing so could break the
combustion tube and cause injury.
Removal Procedure

3 Loosen the hexagon cap nut on the PTFE coupling located on the cooling tubing
inlet at the bottom end of the combustion tube.

7 Maintenance
Washing Catalyst
Standard catalyst can be washed and reused several times using the following procedure.
High sensitivity catalyst cannot be washed and reused.
Procedure
1 Thoroughly wash the catalyst with tap water to remove any accumulated salts.
2 Neutralize the alkalis with dilute hydrochloric acid (5:1).
3 Thoroughly wash the catalyst with tap water to remove the hydrochloric acid.
4 Rinse with pure water (ion exchange water acceptable) and then dry.
• Dry the catalyst at a temperature lower than 700°C to avoid the degradation
of catalyst activity that occurs at higher temperatures.
• A large quantity of steam is produced when the regenerated catalyst is
placed in the oven and heated. Due to the danger of burn injury, leave the
outlet of the combustion tube open until no more steam is released.
Replacing Catalyst
If performance does not improve even after washing the catalyst as described above,
replace the TOC standard catalyst with a new one. For this reason, always have platinum
catalyst on hand as a maintenance consumable. One bottle of platinum catalyst is enough
for one replacement.
Use the following procedure to replace the platinum catalyst.
Procedure
1 Wash the platinum mesh and the inside of the combustion tube with (1:2)
hydrochloric acid (1 part concentrated HCl and 2 parts water).
2 Rinse with water.
3 Dry, and reuse these items.
4 Fill the combustion tube as described in "3.1.1 Catalyst Filling" P.19.
TOC High Sensitivity Catalyst

TOC high sensitivity catalyst cannot be washed and reused like standard catalyst. If
analysis sensitivity and reproducibility are not restored after catalyst regeneration, replace
the deteriorated high sensitivity catalyst with new high sensitivity catalyst. The platinum
mesh and combustion tube can be washed with hydrochloric acid and reused.

Disposal of Catalyst
Used catalyst should be disposed of according to local industrial waste disposal
regulations. It must be clearly disclosed using an industrial waste manifest that the used
catalyst contains platinum.
7.2.3 Replacing the Carrier Gas Purification Tube and Catalyst
The carrier gas purification tube burns the carrier gas and oxidizes carbon-based
impurities, converting them to carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is absorbed and
eliminated by the CO2 absorber. The carrier gas purification tube is filled with oxidation
catalyst (same as TOC standard catalyst).
The procedure for replacing the purification tube and catalyst is as follows.
Removing the Carrier Gas Purification Tube (Option)
Allow the electric furnace to cool to room temperature for at least six hours
removing the carrier gas purification tube. Burns may result if this task is
attempted when the furnace is at a high temperature.
Removal Procedure
1 Remove the combustion tube together with the TC sample injector from the
electric furnace.
2 Release the swage locks on the top and bottom of the carrier gas purification
tube.
Refer to "3.1.3 Connecting the Combustion Tube" P.26.
3 Extract the carrier gas purification tube from the electric oven by pulling upward.
7
Replacing Catalyst
The top nut of the compression fitting joint is hand-tightened. Do not use
tools to tighten or loosen this nut.
Because the tube is constructed of quartz glass, over-tightening or aggressive
handling may result in damage.

7 Maintenance
Procedure
1 Remove the catalyst from the carrier gas purification tube through the opening
at the top.
2 Remove the quartz wool using a thin tube or other instrument.
3 Insert a small amount of new TOC standard catalyst into the combustion tube
from the bottom (straight end).
4 Pack a small amount of quartz wool into the tube from the bottom.
The quartz wool is inserted to prevent the catalyst from falling out of the
bottom. Packing too much quartz wool into the tube will greatly impede airflow,
so do not use too much quartz wool. To prevent contamination of the catalyst
or the inclusion of foreign particles, use the same precautions used when filling
the combustion tube with TOC platinum catalyst.
5 Insert the straight end of the carrier gas purification tube down into the front
8 mm diameter hole in the oven.
6 Using the compression fitting joints, restore the tubing connections to their
original condition.
7 Return the combustion tube and the TC sample injector to their original positions
on the electric furnace.
7.2.4 Washing/Replacing the Combustion Tube and Carrier Gas Purification Tube (Option)
The inner surface of the combustion tube devitrifies (becomes crystalline in texture and
turns white) when it reacts with salts contained in the samples. The tube can continue
to be used in this condition until it breaks or cracks.
During the catalyst washing or replacing process, wash the interior of the combustion
tube and carrier gas purification tube with (1:2) hydrochloric acid (1 part concentrated
HCl and 2 parts water) to remove the contaminants and accumulated salts. Rinse with
water, dry, and then reuse the tube(s).
For details on removing the combustion tube, refer to "7.2.2 Washing or Replacing
Catalyst" P.322.

7.2.5 Replacing the High Purity Air (Filling the Cylinder)
A 47-liter cylinder of high-purity air used as the carrier gas will last for approximately
three months using the H Type instrument, and two months using the N Type.
• Replace the cylinder when the residual pressure diminishes to a few hundred kPa. Do
not wait until it is completely empty.
• When connecting a new cylinder, clean the connections thoroughly. After connecting
the cylinder, do not allow dust or other matter to enter the instrument.
• Keep a spare cylinder available at all times.
7.2.6 Replacing the CO2 Absorber
Replace the entire CO2 absorber located in the holder on top of the instrument once a
year.
CO2 Absorber Disposal Procedure

Used CO2 absorbers should be disposed of according to local industrial waste disposal
regulations. It must be clearly disclosed using an industrial waste manifest that the used
CO2 absorber contains soda lime.
For details on replacing the CO2 absorbers, refer to "3.1.10 Installation of the CO2 Absorber"
P.48.
7.2.7 Replacing the Halogen Scrubber
The absorbent inside the halogen scrubber turns black as it absorbs chlorine. The
discoloration band advances toward the outlet as the amount of chlorine absorbed
increases. Replace the scrubber with a new halogen scrubber when the front of the
discoloration band reaches the position shown in "Figure 7.5 Halogen Scrubber".
1 Unclip the upper and lower clips that secure the halogen scrubber.

7.2.9 Syringe Plunger Tip Replacement
The syringe plunger tip is constructed of fluororesin and wears with use. Gaps will
eventually form between the plunger and the inner wall of the syringe barrel (glass
tube), causing leaks. When leaks occurs, bubbles are produced near the syringe tip when
sample is drawn into the syringe or sample may leak from the bottom of the barrel
when the sample is discharged. When these problems are observed, replace the plunger
tip.
1 Remove the syringe referring to "7.2.8 Syringe Replacement" P.329.

7 Maintenance
2 Use a sharp knife to make two or three incisions at the bottom of the plunger
tip, as shown in "Figure 7.8 Removing the Old Plunger Tip".
3 Grasp the plunger tip with a pair of pliers and remove it from the plunger. The
O-ring that is held in place by the plunger tip also comes off. DO NOT reuse
this O-ring.
Figure 7.8 Removing the Old Plunger Tip
4 Pushing down on the plunger, press the leading edge of the new plunger tip
straight into the plunger tip seat, as shown in "Figure 7.9 Installing the New
Plunger Tip (cross-section)". Save the syringe for future use since the plunger tip
seat is enclosed inside the syringe.
Figure 7.9 Installing the New Plunger Tip (cross-section)
• Do not scratch the perimeter of the plunger tip. This could cause leaks.
• Use only Shimadzu-specified plunger tips. Use of unspecified parts may result
in malfunction and/or diminished performance.

7.2.10 Replacing the Sliding Sample Injector O-rings
Two types of o-rings are stacked between the injection block and the slider of the sample
injector. If a gas leak develops in this area, replace both o-rings.
• White Upper O-ring: O-ring, PTFE (P/N S638-15025)
• Black Lower O-ring: O-ring, 4DP10A (P/N S0936-11209-84)
Figure 7.10 Replacing the Sliding Sample Injector O-rings
If a gas leak develops between the injector block and the combustion tube, replace the
o-ring there as well.
Do not scratch the o-rings or the o-ring seat when replacing the o-rings.
To prevent gas leaks, install the o-rings (PTFE) in the correct orientation as
shown in Figure 4.10 when replacing the O-rings.

7 Maintenance
7.2.11 Replacing the Syringe Pump 8-port Valve Rotor
The fluororesin rotor of the syringe pump 8-port valve gradually becomes worn and
scratched after prolonged use due to suspended particles in the samples. This wear
eventually causes leaks from the 8-port valve.
The following symptoms are associated with leaks from the 8-port valve and indicate that
rotor replacement is necessary.
• Droplets of liquid around the 8-port valve (especially around the upper shaft)
• Decreased analysis reproducibility
• Presence of bubbles in the syringe
If the leakage is great, sample remaining in the tubing after it is drawn into the syringe
may flow back into the sample container. This is most likely due to a sampling tubing
flange or connection problem.
Switch OFF the instrument before replacing the 8-port valve rotor.
Procedure
1 The mark on the 8-port valve interrupt plate indicates the orientation of the
rotor hole (stream direction). Take note of which port number the mark is
pointing towards.

2 Remove the nut using the provided wrench.
Figure 7.11 Removing the Nut
3 Pull up to remove the rotor drive component. Hang it on the screw on the right
side of the plunger.
4 Loosen the retaining nut using the provided wrench.

5 Remove the spring-equipped rod.

7 Maintenance
6 Grasp the rotor with pliers and pull it out.
Figure 7.13 Removing the Rotor
7 Insert a new rotor, taking care that the rotor hole matches original orientation.
8 Reinsert the spring-equipped rod and tighten the retaining nut.
9 Replace the rotor drive component, and tighten the nut.
Perform the syringe pump zero detection procedure before analysis. Refer to "7.
6 Maintenance Menus" P.351.
7.2.12 Replacing the CO2 Absorber for the Optional Carrier Gas Purifier
The NDIR baseline becomes unstable with a decrease in the carbon dioxide absorption
in the carrier gas purifier CO2 absorber. The baseline position rises and reproducibility
diminishes, making analysis impossible.
The soda lime must be replaced when this occurs.
The frequency with which soda lime must be replaced depends on the frequency of
analysis, quantity of organic impurities in the carrier gas, and the TOC content of the
samples. It is recommended that soda lime be replaced once every four months.
Soda Lime Replacement Procedure
The carrier gas pressure applied to the carrier gas purifier CO2 absorber is
approximately 200 kPa. It is dangerous to perform this maintenance procedure
under these conditions. Before replacing the soda lime, lower the carrier gas
pressure in the instrument to normal as follows:
• Turn the supply valve of carrier gas source OFF.
• Switch OFF the instrument.

Procedure
1 Remove the elbow joints on the CO2 absorber for carrier gas purification, which
is located in the holder on top of the instrument.
2 Invert the CO2 absorber and remove the screw cap.
3 Remove the used soda lime.
4 Refill the absorber container with about 500 g of new soda lime until it reaches
about 5 mm from the interior screw threads.
Do not allow any soda lime to enter the tube in the center of the container
when refilling the CO2 absorber.
5 Fill the hollow in the screw cap with quartz wool and screw the cap back on
the container.
To maintain an airtight seal, a rubber o-ring is placed between the container

and the screw cap. Inspect the o-ring to verify that it is not scratched or
twisted, then attach the cap.
6 Using the elbow joints, connect the carrier gas purifier CO2 absorber to the two
tubes exiting the back of the instrument as follows:
7
• Tubing labeled "L"
Affixed to the connection port of the CO2 absorber container labeled "L"
• Tubing labeled "S"

Affixed to the connection port of the CO2 absorber container labeled "S"
Only tighten the nuts on the elbow joints by hand. Do not use tools.

7 Maintenance
7 Place the CO2 absorber for carrier gas purification in the holder on top of the
instrument.
Used soda lime should be disposed of according to local industrial waste disposal
regulations. It must be clearly disclosed using an industrial waste manifest that the
material contains soda lime.
Soda lime is a corrosive chemical substance. Be careful not to touch it with

bare hands. For details, refer to "8.9 Safety Data Sheets (SDS)" P.433.
7.2.13 Replenishing IC Reaction Solution
For the H Type, verify that there is sufficient IC reaction solution in the IC reaction
solution vessel before performing IC analysis. If not, replenish the IC reaction solution
referring to "3.1.14 IC Analysis Preparations" P.55.
The IC reaction solution is acidic. Use care not to spill or touch the fluid when
handling it.
7.2.14 Replacing the Pump Head of the IC Reaction Solution Pump
The IC reaction solution pump is a roller type pump that uses a rotating roller to flatten
the rubber tube carrying the IC reaction solution, thereby feeding solution into the
system. This rubber tubing gradually deteriorates, requiring periodic replacement of the
pump head.
The life of the rubber tubing is generally about 300 hours of pump operation. It is
recommended that 300 hours be entered as the warning value in the Maintenance History
Dlg window.
The pump head and rubber tubing inside the IC reagent pump are filled with
IC reagent solution. This solution is acidic. Use care to avoid touching or
spilling the solution when changing the pump heads. For details refer to "8.9
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)" P.433.

Use the following procedure to replace the pump head.
1 Pinch the pump head (plastic) of the IC reaction liquid feed pump with your
fingers, turn the pump head counterclockwise, and pull it out from the pump
(motor side).
2 Disconnect the rubber tubing ties of the pump head and remove the connected
PTFE tubing.
3 Connect the PTFE tubing to the rubber tubing of the new pump head and secure
it with the included ties.
4 Attach the pump head by following the above procedure in reverse.
Figure 7.14 Replacing the Pump Head of the IC Reaction Solution Pump
7.2.15 Replacing the Filler of the Optional POC Analysis CO2 Absorber
The CO2 absorber for POC analysis is filled with about 6 grams of lithium hydroxide, 7
which is sufficient to absorb carbon dioxide gas for several hundred analyses under
normal conditions. Airflow resistance gradually increases with use and may become
excessive irrespective of adequate carbon dioxide absorbency.
Replace the lithium hydroxide in the CO2 absorber with a new batch if analysis values
become unstable or carrier gas flow is impeded. For the procedure on filling the CO2
absorber with lithium hydroxide, refer to "3.1.15 Preparation for POC Analysis (When
Using the Optional POC Kit)" P.58.

7 Maintenance
• Wear protective glasses and gloves when handling quartz wool.

• Lithium hydroxide is a corrosive (strongly alkali) powder. Be carefully not to
spill or touch it during handling.
• Used lithium hydroxide should be disposed of by a certified industrial waste
handler according to local industrial waste disposal regulations. It must be
clearly disclosed using an industrial waste manifest that the waste is lithium
hydroxide.
• Lithium hydroxide crystal is found in both anhydrous and hydrated forms.
Because the carbon dioxide gas absorbance properties of the hydrated form
are slightly inferior to those of the anhydrous form, use anhydrous lithium
hydroxide to fill the CO2 absorber.
• The life of the CO2 absorber will be shortened by performing POC analysis
on samples with high concentrations of IC.
7.2.16 Replacing the Liquid in the B-Type Halogen Scrubber (Option)
Replace the liquid in the B-type halogen scrubber every three months with 0.05 mol/L
hydrochloric acid.
The stainless mesh for absorption can be used until it dissolves. Note that the ability to
absorb halogen stops after the stainless mesh for absorption has dissolved completely.

Corrosion of the instrument may occur if spilled sample is allowed to remain

in the sample catcher. Keep the sample catcher clean.

7 Maintenance
7.3.3 Replacing the Pump Head of the Rinse Pump
The rinse pump is located inside the ASI-L and supplies rinse water to the rinse port. The
rinse pump is a roller type pump that uses a rotating roller to flatten the rubber tubing
carrying the rinse water, thereby feeding rinse water into the system. This rubber tubing
gradually deteriorates, requiring periodic replacement.
The life of the rubber tubing is generally about 300 hours of pump operation. It is
recommended that 300 hours be entered as the warning value in the Maintenance History
Dlg window.
Use the following procedure to replace the pump head.
1 Remove the rectangular pump access cover on the back left side of the ASI-L.
2 Pinch the pump head (plastic) of the rinse water pump with your fingers, turn
the pump head counterclockwise, and pull it out from the pump (motor side).

7.4 8-Port Sampler (OCT-L) Maintenance

Describes periodic inspection procedures for the OCT-L.
7.4.1 Replacing the 8-Port Valve Rotor
The OCT-L uses a fluororesin 8-port valve rotor. The valve rotor may become worn or
scratched after prolonged use due to the suspended particles in the samples. This wear
eventually causes leaks from the 8-port valve.
The following symptoms are associated with leaks from the 8-port valve and indicate that
it is necessary to replace the rotor.
• Droplets of liquid around the 8-port valve (especially, around the upper shaft)
• Decreased analysis reproducibility.
• Presence of bubbles in the TOC-L syringe.
If the leak is large, sample remaining in the tubing after the syringe has been filled may
flow back into the sample container. This is most likely due to a sample tubing or flange
connection problem.
Switch OFF the power before replacing to the 8-port valve rotor.

7 Maintenance
1 Remove the four screws on the top of the OCT-L and take off the cover.
2 Verify that the mark on the 8-port valve cover is directed toward port No.1.
If the mark is not directed toward port No.1, the instrument was not shut

may not be sufficient for analysis, or ozone may leak from inside the
generator. Replace the ozone generator without fail.

7 Maintenance
7.5.3 Replacing the NOx Absorber
The NOx absorber is used to absorb NOx gas generated by the TNM-L. Although the CO2
absorber used to purge the optical system of the NDIR detector is used in the NOx
absorber (the spent absorber from "7.2.6 Replacing the CO2 Absorber" P.327), this CO2

Reference
The following procedure can be used to check whether carrier gas is flowing to the
infrared gas analyzer. However, this procedure cannot determine the existence of minute
gas leaks. Note that checks using this procedure cannot be performed when the TNM-L
is connected to the instrument.

7.7 Troubleshooting
Procedure
1 Block the carrier gas flow by firmly folding over the flexible tubing labeled with
an "L" that is connected to the CO2 absorber, which is located in the holder on
top of the instrument.
2 If carrier gas bubbles out from the bottom of the drain tubing inside the drain
container, which is located on the left side of the instrument, this means that
carrier gas is flowing to the infrared gas analyzer.
For the H Type instrument, whether carrier gas is flowing to the IC reaction vessel can
be determined by visually checking for bubbling of IC reagent in the IC reaction vessel.
Reference
When using a TOC high sensitivity catalyst, peaks will not be output or the peak shape
will deteriorate if the catalyst filling in the combustion tube becomes loose (rises up). In
this case, remove the combustion tube from the instrument and check the filling state
of the catalyst. If the filling height is more than 110 mm, use the catalyst filling rod to
push the catalyst down from the top of the combustion tube to a height of 110 mm.
(7) If the NPOC measurement value is higher than anticipated
When performing sample acidification and sparging in NPOC measurement using the
syringe pump type sample injector in the TOC-L, the acid used for sample acidification
must completely fill the PTFE tubing used to supply the acid. If bubbles are present in
the tube, acid addition with respect to the sample will not occur properly and will lead
to only partial IC removal. This will result in a higher NPOC measurement value than
anticipated.
This problem will occur noticeably if the connection between the PTFE tubing for
supplying acid and the 8-port valve decreases in airtightness. If this is the suspected cause,
executing the stream bubble removal function, retightening the bush on the connection
of the PTFE tubing for supply acid, and replacing the rotor in the 8-port valve are all
effective methods to resolve this problem.
In addition, it is possible to check whether any sample has acidified inside the syringe
by measuring the pH level of discharge from the TOC-L drain tubing with pH test paper.

n Corrective Actions for Poor Reproducibility
Corrective Action for Poor Sample Injection

The manner in which sample is discharged from the TC or IC sample injection tubing has
a large influence on reproducibility. The sample should be injected as vertically as possible
onto the TC catalyst or into the IC reaction vessel. If the sample is scattered or injected
obliquely, detach the sample injection tubing from the slider, and remove any obstruction
that may be adhering to the opening at the tip of the sample tubing.
Figure 7.22 Sample Injection Patterns from Sample Tubing
Ensure that the tip of the tubing does not protrude beyond the bottom surface of the
slider. The O-ring or other seal parts will be scratched if the tubing protrudes, resulting
in gas leaks. The sample is not properly injected unless the tip of the tubing extends
into the depression in the bottom of the slider.
Check the state of the injection for TC analysis by looking through the TC combustion
tube while it is attached to the instrument. The sample injection tubing can be detached
from the slider, and water can be injected for inspection using the functions available
in the Instrument>Maintenance>Mechanical Check screen.
Salt or other substances adhering to the tip of the tubing after rinsing can allow large
droplets of sample to remain on the tip of the tubing after injection. A deformed tip
on the sample injection tubing (a beard-like protrusion, for example) may cause the
sample to be injected obliquely. In either case, reproducibility is adversely affected and
the sample injection tubing should be replaced. Another option available only if there
is sufficient length of tubing remaining is to use a sharp cutting tool at a 90° angle to
cut off 2 - 3 mm from the tip of the currently used sample injection tubing.

Figure 7.23 Slider Assembly
Corrective Action to Eliminate Bubbles Inside the Syringe

Small bubbles that adhere to the inside of the syringe by the plunger tip will have little
effect on analysis values. Larger bubbles inside the syringe will affect values and result
in poor reproducibility. Large bubbles form easily inside a dirty syringe. This is evident
when sample is mixed with dilution water in the syringe and when sparging with carrier
gas inside the syringe for IC removal pretreatment for NPOC analysis. In this case, detach
the syringe from the syringe pump. Repeatedly draw in and discharge laboratory
glassware detergent to wash the inside of the syringe. Then draw in a full-stroke volume
of the cleaning agent and let it sit for about 20 minutes, or overnight if the syringe is
extremely dirty. Thoroughly rinse away all of the detergent and reattach the syringe to
the syringe pump.
Decreased Reproducibility Due to Plunger Tip Backlash

The plunger tip is a consumable item and, as it is used, wears in the following ways:
(1) The surface of the plunger tip becomes worn and the seal between the plunger tip
and the inside of the glass syringe barrel deteriorates, allowing slight amounts of water
to leak out with vertical movements of the plunger.
(2) The contact site of the plunger tip and plunger becomes loose, causing a slight backlash
with vertical movement of the plunger.
As the above conditions start to occur, repeatability of sample injection volume decreases,
resulting in diminished analysis reproducibility. Item (2) above rapidly leads to decreased
reproducibility. Since it is very difficult to determine backlash by inspecting movement
of the plunger tip, inspect as follows.
Before sample injection, observe the wash injection used to replace the previous sample
in the syringe and flow line with the new sample. After injection, if a droplet forms at
the tip of the injection tubing and increases in size, there is a strong possibility that
backlash has increased. The corrective action in this case is to replace the plunger tip.
The effect of backlash increases with smaller sample injection volumes. Poor
results might be obtained with a sample injection volume of 10 µL, while the
effect might be negligible with a 100 µL sample injection volume.

This chapter describes the principles of analysis and lists instrument specifications,
accessories, and parts. This chapter also includes installation procedures, for use in the
event that the instrument is relocated.
8.1 Principles of Analysis

The principles for TC, IC, POC, NPOC, TOC and TN analysis are described in this section.
Two types of carbon are present in water: organic carbon and inorganic carbon. Organic
carbon (TOC) bonds with hydrogen or oxygen to form organic compounds. Inorganic
carbon (IC or TIC) is the structural basis for inorganic compounds such as gas carbonates
and carbonate ions. Collectively the two forms of carbon are referred to as total carbon
(TC) and the relationship between them is expressed TOC=TC-IC.
Nitrogen is also present in water in two types: organic and inorganic. The sum of these
is referred to as total nitrogen (TN).
The principles underlying TC and TN analysis are explained in the following sections.
8.1.1 Principles of TC (Total Carbon) Analysis
Sample is introduced into the TC combustion tube, which is filled with an oxidation
catalyst and heated to 680 °C. The sample is burned in the combustion tube and, as a
result, the TC components in the sample are converted to carbon dioxide. Carrier gas,
which flows at a rate of 150 mL/min to the combustion tube, carries the sample
combustion products from the combustion tube to an electronic dehumidifier, where the
gas is cooled and dehydrated. The gas then carries the sample combustion products
through a halogen scrubber to remove chlorine and other halogens. Finally, the carrier
gas delivers the sample combustion products to the cell of a non-dispersive infrared
(NDIR) gas analyzer, where the carbon dioxide is detected. The NDIR outputs an analog
detection signal that forms a peak; the peak area is measured by the TOC-Control L
software.
The peak area is proportional to the TC concentration of the sample. A calibration curve
equation that mathematically expresses the relationship between peak area and TC
concentration can be generated by analyzing various concentrations of a TC standard
solution. The TC concentration in a sample can be determined by analyzing the sample
to obtain the peak area and then using the peak area in the calibration curve equation.

8.1.2 Principles of IC (Inorganic Carbon) Analysis
Two methods for measuring IC using the TOC-L are available: analysis within the injection
syringe and analysis using the optional IC reactor. In both methods, the measured IC
consists of carbon derived from carbonates, hydrogen carbonates and dissolved carbon
dioxide.
Defining IC
The IC measured by TOC analysis consists of the carbon contained in carbonates and in
carbon dioxide dissolved in water.
By acidifying the sample with a small amount of hydrochloric acid to obtain a pH less
than 3, all carbonates are converted to carbon dioxide (CO2) by the following reactions:
Me2CO3 + 2HCl → CO2 + 2MeCl + H2O
MeHCO3 + HCl → CO2 + MeCl + H2O
Carbon dioxide and dissolved carbon dioxide in the sample are volatilized by bubbling
(sparging) air or nitrogen gas that does not contain carbon dioxide through the sample.
Analysis Using the IC Reaction Vessel (H Type Instrument)

The TOC-L IC reactor kit is used to sparge the IC reaction solution (acidified reaction
liquid) with carrier gas. Sample is injected into the IC reaction vessel and the IC in the
sample is converted to carbon dioxide, which is volatilized by the sparging process and
detected by the NDIR.
Analysis Within the Syringe (N Type Instrument)

The sample is acidified to pH 3 or lower in the syringe, using hydrochloric acid. The
sample is sparged with carrier gas and the IC in the sample is converted to carbon dioxide
and detected by the NDIR.

8.1.3 Principles of NPOC (Non-Purgeable Organic Carbon) Analysis
After acidifying the sample to pH 2 to 3, sparge gas is bubbled through the sample to
eliminate the IC component. The remaining TC is measured to determine total organic
carbon, and the result is generally referred to as TOC. However, in the TOC-L, this analysis
value is referred to NPOC to distinguish it from the TOC value obtained by calculating
the difference between TC and IC. NPOC stands for non-purgeable organic carbon and
refers to organic carbon that is present in a sample in a non-volatile form.
NPOC and TOC (obtained by IC elimination) described in the TOC-related standard
methods and referred to in water quality-related test methods (JIS, ASTM, EPA, EN) are
identical. Purgeable organic substances in the sample can be lost during the sparging
process. Consequently, when the sample contains purgeable organic substances, TOC
should not be measured by the NPOC method. If the dissolved purgeable organic
component in the water sample is large, the amount volatilized during sparging is
relatively small. Generally, the amount of purgeable organic substances in natural
environmental, public and purified water is small; as a result, NPOC can be referred to
as TOC.

8.1.4 Principles of POC (Purgeable Organic Carbon) Analysis
POC analysis is used to measure the volatilized component of TOC, which is produced
during the NPOC sample sparging process. As a result, NPOC+POC is equivalent to TOC.
POC analysis is performed as follows.
Sparge gas containing the volatilized CO2 and POC components of the sample is carried
to the lithium hydroxide-filled CO2 absorber to eliminate the CO2 that was converted
from the IC in the sample. The gas, which now contains only the POC component of the
sample, then passes through the combustion tube to be oxidized. The POC component
is converted to CO2 during oxidation and the CO2 is detected by the NDIR. Data
processing is conducted in the same manner as for TC.
POC is not precisely defined. Factors that determine whether or not, or to what degree,
a volatile organic carbon component is volatilized during sparging include the type of
organic compound, the gas/liquid contact with the sparge gas, and the ambient
temperature during sparging. The target of POC analysis is the organic component
present in the aqueous phase. As a result, organic compounds that are highly soluble in
water (such as methanol or ethanol) and not easily volatilized by sparging produce almost
no peaks in POC analysis.
Organic compounds with low solubility in water (such as methylene chloride or
chloroform) produce sharp peaks in POC analysis. Over a long period of time, compounds
such as acetone and methyl isobutyl ketone generate extremely broad, tailing peaks with
no specific end time.
The lithium hydroxide-filled CO2 absorber eliminates the carbon dioxide that was
generated along with the POC substances. Therefore, POC components that are easily
caught in the CO2 absorber (such as esters) produce low values in POC analysis. POC
results obtained using this technique are not absolute. The user should take all the above
factors into consideration when measuring POC using this instrument.

8.1.5 Principles of Measuring TOC
TOC can be measured using the following 3 methods:

• TC-IC Method
• NPOC Method
• POC+NPOC Method
TC-IC Method
In the TC-IC method, TOC is measured as the difference between the TC and IC analysis
values. The TC-IC method is not recommended for samples that contain more IC than TOC
(samples where TC consists almost entirely of IC); the NPOC method is recommended for
such samples. The TOC value determined using the TC-IC method includes errors
associated with each of the individual TC and IC measurements, and can therefore result
in a large error in the TOC value.
Because detection accuracy decreases with increasing IC concentration, the NPOC method
is also recommended for samples containing IC concentrations exceeding 10 ppm for
TOC/TN catalyst and 5 ppm for high sensitivity catalyst.
NPOC Method
The NPOC method is the most widely used TOC analysis method. The NPOC method is
not recommended for samples that foam during sparging. Samples that become foamy
during sparging tend to form bubbles that flow out of the syringe, which removes the
concentrated TOC sample components and leaves a small amount of TOC in the syringe.
The TC-IC method is recommend in this situation. Moreover, since TOC cannot be correctly
measured in samples that coagulate or precipitate when acidified, use the TC-IC method.
Note that with Shimadzu’s TOC analyzer, the recommended amount of acid added and
the recommended ventilation time in the IC removal process during NPOC measurement
are set so as to be able to accommodate a wide range of samples. However, depending
on the characteristics of the sample, including pH, the IC removal may not be complete,
and there may still be residue in the sample.
To check the effectiveness of the IC removal process, or to compensate for the effects
of the remaining IC, with NPOC-IC as the measurement type, IC measurement is
performed in conjunction with NPOC measurement, and result of subtracting the
measured IC value from the measured NPOC value is output. This feature is only available
with PC control and requires the ASI-L option and an external sparge kit.
POC+NPOC Method
The POC+NPOC method should be used when the amount of POC present in the sample
cannot be disregarded.

8.1.6 Principles of Measuring TN (Total Nitrogen)
When a sample is introduced into the combustion tube (furnace temperature 720 °C),
the TN in the sample decomposes to nitrogen monoxide. Nitrogen gas does not become
nitrogen monoxide under these circumstances. The carrier gas, which contains the
nitrogen monoxide, is cooled and dehumidified by the electronic dehumidifier. The gas
then enters a chemiluminescence gas analyzer, where the nitrogen monoxide is detected.
The detection signal from the chemiluminescence gas analyzer generates a peak and the
TN concentration in the sample can then be measured.
TN Detection Rate
In TN analysis, the state (crystalline state) in which TN exists in the sample greatly
affects the TN detection rate. Nitrogen contained in nitrates, nitrites, ammonia
and the majority of other organic nitrogen compounds exhibit high detection
rates. Conversely, some organic nitrogen-containing compounds (such as
hydrazines, pyrazolones, and azide compounds) have detection rates ranging
from 10 % to 60 %, depending on the concentration.

8.2 Analysis-Related Technical Information

This section summarizes technical information related to analysis, including peak area
analysis and calibration curve selection.
8.2.1 Peak Area Analysis
When a sample is analyzed, the TOC-Control L software automatically detects the

beginning and end of each peak produced, and calculates the peak areas. Detection of
the beginning and end of each peak is based on the slope of the tangent, which changes
from moment to moment. Peak detection begins when that slope exceeds a
predetermined value and ends when a negative slope falls below a specified value.
• Separated Peaks
In TC analysis, multiple peaks may occur when a large quantity of sample is
injected. Only the end of the last peak is detected. The total area of the
multiple peaks is calculated.
• Baseline Correction
Baseline correction is performed for peaks produced with fluctuating baseline
to obtain the correct peak area.
Figure 8.1 Determining Peak Area

8.2.2 Peak Shape
Multiple peaks are especially prominent when using the high sensitivity catalyst with
sample injections greater than 100 µL. As sample is injected onto the catalyst, the easily
volatilized organic substances and the crystalline organic substances are combusted at
different rates. As a result, carbon dioxide is generated multiple times, resulting in the
formation of multiple peaks. Easily volatilized organic substances are organic compounds
that are volatilized with water when an aqueous solution of the compounds is heated;
ethanol is one example of such a compound. Crystalline organic compounds remain in a
solid form following the heating of an aqueous solution of the compound; glucose is
one example of such a compound.
The manner in which the sample is injected also has an effect on peak shape. If a portion
of the sample is injected into the center of the combustion tube while another portion
is injected at the periphery, combustion may occur at different times, resulting in multiple
peaks.
Peak shape does not affect the analysis results. Even if multiple peaks occur due to the
type of organic substance or injection manner described above, the TOC-Control L
calculates the total area of the peaks generated to determine the TOC (or TC) accordingly.

8.2.3 Calibration Curves
n Types of Calibration Curves
1-Point and 2-Point Calibration Curves

The output signals of the TOC-L are linearized. As a result, there are almost no factors
in the reaction systems of the TC/TN combustion and IC reaction components that might
cause the concentration-output characteristic to deviate from linearity. Consequently,
calibration curves are commonly generated as 1-point curves consisting of 1 span point,
or 2-point curves consisting of 1 span point and the zero point.
The concentration of TC and IC, or of TN, varies with standard solutions prepared with
pure water. A calibration curve generated using concentrations greater than
50 - 100 mg/L will pass very close to the zero point. In this case, it is practical to generate
a 1-point calibration curve.
Use a 2-point calibration curve when the concentration of TC and IC or TN in the pure
water used to prepare the standard solutions cannot be disregarded with respect to the
standard solution concentration. For information on handling of this type of curve, refer
to "Shifting of Calibration Curves" P.390.
Multi-Point Calibration Curves

Calibration curves can be generated using up to 10 points. Calibration curves consisting
of 3 or more points can be generated as a point-to-point curve or as a regression line
using the least squares method. With the least squares regression curve, a correlation
coefficient is displayed.
Multi-Point Calibration Curve Function for Dilution of Stock Solution

This function creates multi-point calibration curves through the dilution of standard
solution. The use of this function enables the creation of multi-point calibration curves
with a single batch of standard solution. Activate the function by selecting the Use
dilution from standard solution checkbox in the Calibration Curve Wizard (Page 2)
Calibration Curve Type window.
Supported analysis types: TC, IC (CPH only), and TN
Set values that ensure the dilution factor is greater than 1.25. If the dilution
factor is less than 1.25, the dilution factor precision of the instrument may be
impaired.

n Shifting of Calibration Curves
Shift to Origin
The "shift to origin" function is used when the amount of TC and IC or TN in the pure
water used for standard solution preparation cannot be ignored with respect to the
standard solution concentration. A correction must be made by shifting the calibration
curve in a parallel fashion so that it passes through the origin. This corrects for the TC
and IC or TN concentration in the water used for standard solution preparation. An
example of a situation in which the "shift to origin" function is useful is described below.
When water containing 0.5 mg/L TC is used to prepare a 10 mg/L TC standard solution,
the actual TC concentration in the standard solution will be 10.5 mg/L (0.5 mg/L from
the water + 10 mg/L from the standard solution). The 2-point calibration curve generated
using such a solution is shown by the solid line in "8.2 Analysis-Related Technical
Information" P.387. If this curve is used without correction, the sample analysis values
will always be 0.5 mg/L less than the true value. By shifting the calibration curve so that
it passes through the origin, as shown by the broken line in "8.2 Analysis-Related
Technical Information" P.387, the calibration curve is effectively corrected.
A system blank is water that contains absolutely no carbon (zero water). When
measurement of a system blank produces a peak, the TC concentrations measured in
samples will be biased high by the amount of TC in the system blank. In most cases (with
the exception of high sensitivity analysis), this bias is not significant. Measurement error
resulting from the TC or TN content in the water used to prepare standard solutions is
typically much greater than measurement error resulting from the system blank value.
Correcting the calibration curve based on the TC or TN content in the standard solution
preparation water will produce satisfactory analyses. Using this correction method, the
value obtained for a system blank would be greater than zero by the amount of the
blank value.
The instrument allows shifting of calibration curves only to the extent of the system
blank value. The system blank peak height varies with such factors as the system
configuration and the type of catalyst used.
Shift to Blank Point

The "shift to blank point" procedure is performed for high sensitivity analyses when the
system blank value could have a significant effect on the measurement value.
By selecting the "shift to blank point" option, a TC blank check analysis is performed
using the same injection volume that will be used for sample measurement. The
calibration curve zero point is shifted to the TC blank check value.

Figure 8.2 Shifting of Calibration Curve
8.2.4 Sparging During Standard Solution Analysis
Standard solutions that have TC concentrations so low as to be affected by the amount

of dissolved carbon dioxide in the solution should be sparged with carrier gas prior to
measurement. Sparging eliminates the dissolved carbon dioxide, thereby preventing it
from affecting the concentration of the standard solution.
The amount of dissolved carbon dioxide in water used for standard solution preparation
is affected by factors such as water purification method, length and condition of storage,
and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Concentrations of dissolved
carbon dioxide increase when the water is exposed to the atmosphere during the
standard solution preparation process. Refer to "Table 8.2 CO2 Content (ppm) in Distilled
Water Equilibrated with Atmosphere Temperature (°C)" for the dissolution rates of
atmospheric carbon dioxide in water.
It is important to consider both the concentration of the standard solution and the
concentration of TOC contained in the preparation water when deciding whether to use
the sparging function. Use of sparging is appropriate if the TOC contained in the water
is low enough to not substantially affect the standard solution concentration, but not
low enough to be ignored.
Do not use sparging with IC standard solutions, as sparging decreases the IC

concentration.
Table 8.2 CO2 Content (ppm) in Distilled Water Equilibrated with Atmosphere Temperature (°C)
Atmospheric CO2
(vol%)
0 5 10 15 20 25 30 8
0.030 1.00 0.83 0.79 0.59 0.51 0.44 0.38
0.033 1.10 0.91 0.76 0.65 0.56 0.48 0.42
0.044 1.47 1.22 1.02 0.87 0.74 0.64 0.56
The above CO2 content can be converted to IC using the following equation.
IC (ppm)=CO2 (mg/L) ´ 0.27

8.2.5 Automatic Selection of Optimum Calibration Curve
Up to three different calibration curves can be selected for use in a method. The curves
are specified in the Calibration Curve 1, Calibration Curve 2 and Calibration Curve 3 fields
on page 3 of the Method Wizard when the method is being created. When more than
one calibration curve is specified, the TOC-Control L software automatically selects the
optimum calibration curve to be used for calculating measurement results.
The automatic selection process occurs on a measurement-by-measurement basis.
Measurement values are always calculated first using Calibration Curve 1.
The TOCControl L software then evaluates the result, applies the optimum calibration
curve, and recalculates the value if necessary. The calibration curve with a concentration
range that is greater than and closest to the measured value is used. Examples are shown
below:
(1) If the measured value is less than the concentration of Calibration Curve 1 and greater
than the concentration of Calibration Curve 2 and Calibration Curve 3, Calibration
Curve 1 is used.
Conc. of Calibration Curve 1 > Measured Value > Conc. of Calibration Curves 2 and 3
→ Calibration Curve 1 is used
(2) If the measured value is less than the concentrations of Calibration Curve 1 and
Calibration Curve 2, and if the concentration of Calibration Curve 2 is less than that
of Calibration Curve 1, Calibration Curve 2 is used.
Conc. of Calibration Curve 1 > Conc. of Calibration Curve 2 > Measured Value →
Calibration Curve 2 is used
(3) If three calibration curves are specified, the calibration curve that is greater than and
closest to the measured value is used.
Conc. of Calibration Curve 1 > Conc. of Calibration Curve 3 > Measured Value > Conc.
of Calibration Curve 2 → Calibration Curve 3 is used
(4) If the measured value is greater than the concentration of all curves and the
concentration of Calibration Curve 1 is greater than the concentration of Calibration
Curves 2 and 3, Calibration Curve 1 is used.
Measured Value > Conc. of Calibration Curve 1 > Conc. of Calibration Curve 2 > Conc.
of Calibration Curve 3 → Calibration Curve 1 is used
By setting the concentration ratio between calibration curves to a factor of

approximately 10, the automatic selection function can be effectively utilized for
analyses covering a wide range of concentrations. For example, use a
concentration of 10 mg/L for Calibration Curve 1, 100 mg/L for Calibration Curve
2, and 1000 mg/L for Calibration Curve 3.
Considerations for the Automatic Selection Function

• The automatic selection process rules do not change when multi-point calibration curves
are included.
• When more than one injection is performed, the calibration curve is selected based on
the measured value of the first injection.
• Because the measured value is always calculated first using Calibration Curve 1, specify
the most commonly used calibration curve in this field.
• The priority of the second and third calibration curves is determined based on the
calibration curve concentrations and the sample concentration.

8.2.6 Automatic Correction for Injection Volume and Dilution Factor
Activate the automatic correction function for injection volume and dilution factor by
selecting the Auto. Correction of inj. Vol. and dilution checkbox in the Method Wizard
(Page 4) Injection Parameters window.
Automatic Correction Function for Injection Volume and Dilution Factor

The injection volume and dilution factor are automatically adjusted when the
measurement results exceed the concentration of the calibration curve. In these
adjustments, the injection volume is corrected so that, based on the measurement results,
the peak area value becomes about 80 % of the corresponding calibration curve. The
measurement is performed again after the correction.
Notes on the Automatic Correction Function for Injection Volume and Dilution Factor
• When the number of injections is set to multiple, the first measurement value is used
to judge the above condition.
• This function will not work if TN simultaneous measurement and POC/NPOC identical
sample measurement are turned ON.
• The automatic selection function for optimum calibration curves and the automatic
correction function for injection volume take priority over this function.
• The dilution factor may not become exactly 80 % due to rounding to integer numbers.
• When this function activates, all previous data is erased and measurement starts again
after changing the measurement conditions. Note that measurement takes longer
because the number of injections is counted again from zero when the measurement
conditions are changed.
8.2.7 Multi-Stage Injection
Activate the multi-stage injection function by selecting the Multiple Injections checkbox
in the Method Wizard (Page 4) Injection Parameters window.
Multi-Stage Injection Function

This function extracts multiple injections worth of sample at once into the syringe and
measures the sample over multiple injections. This enables rapid measurement because
acid addition and dilution can all be performed at once within the syringe. This function
only supports the following analysis types.
Supported analysis types: TC, IC (CPH only), NPOC, and TN
Notes on the Multi-Stage Injection Function

• Reproducibility may deteriorate compared to normal measurement.
• The measurement process may restart from water sampling when measurement
conditions are changed automatically by the automatic selection function for optimum
8
calibration curves, automatic correction function for injection volume, or automatic
correction function for dilution factor.

8.2.8 Pharmaceutical Water Testing
The TOC-L is equipped with a program that automatically performs testing and judgment
of results for three types of pharmacopoeia in regard to testing the purity of
pharmaceutical water.
While a summary of the testing procedure is described below, refer to each
pharmacopoeia for a detailed explanation.
n USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) Support
A system suitability test and pharmaceutical water test are defined in the USP and EP
standards.
The system suitability test is used to produce a pass or fail result for the organic substance
detection function of the TOC instrument. The test involves performing TOC
measurements of 0.5 mgC/L sucrose test solution and 1,4-benzoquinone. If the
measurement value of the latter is within the 85 % to 115 % range of the former, the
organic substance detection function is given a pass result.
The process also measures the TOC contained in the pure water used to prepare the test
solutions and this is used to correct measurement results.
The pharmaceutical water test is used to test the purity of pharmaceutical water. A TOC
measurement value for pharmaceutical water that is less than the TOC measurement
value for a 0.5 mgC/L sucrose test solution will result in a pass. The process also measures
the TOC contained in the pure water used to prepare the sucrose test solution an this
is used to correct measurement results.
n JP (Japanese Pharmacopoeia) Support
A recovery rate test and pharmaceutical water test are defined in the JP standards.

Figure 8.3 External Dimensions of Instrument with ASI-L

Figure 8.4 External Dimensions of the Instrument with the OCT-L 8-Port Sampler and TNM-L TN Unit (Units: mm)
When lifting the instrument, lift from the bottom and at both sides of the
instrument.
Do not lift the instrument by the front access door, as this may cause damage.
n Installation Site Conditions
The ambient temperature specification for this instrument is 5 to 35 °C (10 to 35 °C for

the OCT-L). Install the instrument in an environment that can maintain this temperature
range in order to obtain stable measurement results.
Prevent condensation from occurring due to changes in ambient temperature and
humidity.
Select an installation site with the following conditions:

• A clean environment free of corrosive gases, organic gases, and dusts.
Contamination in the atmosphere will cause analysis errors, especially for high
sensitivity analyses.
• A strong, level bench, free of vibration and shock.

• An indoor location with a stable ambient temperature.
• A location with access to a completely grounded, stable power supply.
• Installation category: II
• Pollution degree: 2
• Altitude: up to 2000 m

8.8 Installation
Avoid locations where flames are prohibited. Some internal parts reach high
temperatures and could cause a fire hazard.
Avoid the following kinds of locations:

• Locations close to heat sources, windows in direct sunlight, or in direct contact with
drafts from air conditioning vents.
• Near equipment that generates intense magnetic fields, electrical fields, or high
frequency waves.
8.8.3 Installation Procedure
n Connecting Power Supply and Ground
Connecting Power Supply

Connect the instrument to a stable, AC 100-127V (100V System) or AC 220-240V (200V
System), 50 Hz or 60 Hz (single phase) power supply with sufficient capacity to
accommodate 600 VA or greater current.
The instrument may not operate properly if the power supply voltage exceeds
the range of AC100-127 V ±10 % or AC 220-240 V ±10 %. Unstable voltage
may cause problems during high sensitivity analysis.
The instrument is compatible with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power supplies and

can be used with either frequency.
And, use the power code that meet the following condition.
* Power supply of each country
* Standard of each country
* Power supply inlet of TOC-L(standard : IEC-60320-C14)
* Power supply specifications of TOC-L
For position on the power supply inlet, refer to "2.1.4 Rear View" P.8.

Grounding
The power cord is a three-conductor cable including a ground wire.
Be sure to completely ground the ground wire of the cable.
• In addition to the consideration of safety, complete grounding of the

instrument is very important and necessary in order to prevent malfunctions
due to the interference of signal noise in the instrument's electrical circuitry.
A Type-3
ground (ground resistance: 100 Ω or less) is recommended.
• Perform grounding separately and avoid contact with water supply pipes, gas
pipes, and lightning rods.
n Changing the Power Supply Voltage
The instrument is set up before shipment to match the power supply voltage in the locale
where it will be used. In the event that it becomes necessary to change the power supply
voltage, please contact your Shimadzu representative. Depending on the voltage change,
an authorized Shimadzu service engineer may be required to rewire connections to the
terminal block to change the power supply voltage and/or perform changes to the main
board.
n Connecting Gas
Use one of the following as the carrier gas supply for this instrument.
• Cylinders filled with high purity air
• Compressed air or instrumentation air (requires the optional carrier gas purification kit
on the N Type instrument)
• Gas cylinder filled with high purity nitrogen or instrumentation high purity nitrogen
(requires the optional N2 carrier gas kit)

8.8 Installation
High Purity Air Cylinders

High purity air is synthetic air manufactured from pure nitrogen and pure oxygen. It
must be guaranteed to contain less than one 1 ppm of each of the following impurities:
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons.
The cylinder must be equipped with a pressure regulator to supply it at 200 ± 10 kPa
to the gas connection inlet of the instrument.
If the carrier gas contains excessive impurities, analysis accuracy is diminished and
good results will not be obtained.
Precautions for Handling Gas Cylinders

The handling and safety management of high-pressure gases is strictly
regulated by high-pressure gas control laws, general high-pressure gas safety
codes, and fire laws.
The gas used in the instrument is not dangerous, but mistakes in handling of
high-pressure gas cylinders can be extremely hazardous. Carefully read and
obey the following precautions.
• Place gas cylinders in a well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
• Ensure that gas cylinders never reach temperatures higher than 40 °C.
• Make sure there are no open flames anywhere within 2 meters of a gas
cylinder.
• Secure cylinders with bands or other fasteners to prevent tipping and falling.
• Turn OFF, immediately and completely, all valves on the cylinder, when
finished using gas.
• Inspect the operation of the pressure gauge at least once every three (3)
months.
Compressed Air or Instrument Air Purified with the Carrier Gas Purification Kit
Using the carrier gas purification kit on the N Type instrument enables the use of
compressed air, instrumentation air, and air from gas cylinders that is generally impure.
Since there are limits to the capabilities of the Carrier Gas Purification Kit, the following
conditions must be met when supplying compressed air. This kit cannot be used with the
H Type instrument.
• Provide an air filter in the supply line to remove dust, oil mist, water drops, and other
contaminants. Place an air filter in the tubing near the gas connection inlet of the
instrument when a compressor is used.
• If you intend to use an air compressor, select an oilless air compressor. Shimadzu offers 8
the SLP5D-2SV oilless and silent air compressor (P/N 042-70041-02) and AW30-02BGN
filter regulator (P/N 040-82118-23) as options.
• There are cases where the organic gas concentration is too high to be removed
completely by the gas purifier. Analysis accuracy is poor in atmospheres containing high
concentrations of volatile gases from exposed organic solvents and gasoline, or high
concentrations of automobile and diesel engine exhaust. If the possibility of the
presence of these kinds of gases cannot be avoided, use a filter to remove organic
particles and/or gases.

Using Gas Cylinder High Purity Nitrogen or Instrumentation High Purity Nitrogen
High purity nitrogen gas must be guaranteed to contain less than 1 ppm of each of the
following impurities: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons.
Install a pressure regulator on the cylinder and supply gas to the gas connection inlet
on the instrument at 200 ± 10 kPa.
These specifications limit the upper measurement concentration to 100 mg/L for TC and
NPOC. For sample measurements that exceed this concentration, measurement is possible
using the automatic dilution function if the concentration of the sample is less than
100 mg/L after dilution. Also note that TN measurement cannot be performed using the
TNM-L with these specifications.
Excessive impurities in the carrier gas will diminish analysis accuracy and prevent
the acquisition of sound measurement results.
Gas Supply Pressure

Ensure that the gas supplied to the gas inlet of the instrument maintains a constant,
stable pressure of 200 ± 10 kPa.
Use the optional carrier gas regulator if pressure cannot be stably supplied at 200 ± 10
kPa. In this case, set the carrier gas supply pressure to 300 ± 10 kPa.
Never allow the carrier gas supply pressure to exceed 600 kPa when using the
optional carrier gas regulator.
Gas Tubing Connections

The special accessory Air Supply Tubing Set includes nylon tubing and connectors (two
[2] half unions).
Procedure
Figure 8.6 Gas Tubing Connection

8.8 Installation
1 Connect the half unions to the carrier gas inlet on the instrument and the
connection outlet (¼" NPT) of the gas supply source.
2 Connect the nylon tubing (4 mm OD, 2.5 mm ID) between the gas supply source
and the instrument.
To connect the nylon tubing, firmly insert it into the half union. To disconnect
the tubing, pull the tubing off while pushing down firmly on the blue ring of
the half union with a screwdriver.
3 Verify that there are no gas leaks.
• Do not allow acute bends in the tubing.

• Clean the tubing and connectors to remove any oils or other contaminants
on their inner surfaces.
• Copper tubing or stainless steel tubing may also be used.
• Always keep the tubing exclusive to this instrument. Branching the tubing
and connecting it to other equipment may adversely affect measurement
performance due to fluctuations in supply pressure.
n Installing the Drain Container
Place the drain container under the bench on which the TOC-L is installed. A suitable
drain container is a plastic container with a 10 to 20 L capacity. The drain tubing from
the TOC-L is inserted into this drain container. Take note of the following precautions.
• As the flow resistance of the drain is low, lead the drain tubing from the instrument
in such a way that prevents any part of the tubing from pointing upwards and do not
allow the end of the drain tubing to become submerged in the drain container.
Exposing the drain tubing to atmospheric pressure near the TOC-L is also effective. Note
that high flow pressure in the drain may inhibit drain discharge and cause an overflow
within the TOC-L.

Figure 8.7 How to Lead the Drain Tubing from the Instrument to the Drain Container
• Drain discharge contains acids and other corrosive substances so always

handle it with care to prevent spills and contact with the skin.
• Depending on measurement conditions, drain discharge may have a pH level
less than 2.0. Drain discharge with a pH less than 2.0 is classed as industrial
waste subject to special control. Request transfer by an authorized industrial
waste transporter to an authorized industrial waste processing facility to
process any industrial waste subject to special control. If you wish to perform
deacidification on your own premises, contact the environmental agency in
your jurisdiction.
n Connecting to the PC Using the Provided Cable
This section describes how to connect the TOC-L and PC using the provided USB cable.
1 Insert one plug on the provided USB cable into the USB terminal on the rear of
the TOC-L. (Refer to "2.1.4 Rear View" P.8.)
2 Insert the other plug on the cable into the USB connector on the PC.

8.8 Installation
8.8.4 Installing the ASI-L
This section describes procedures for installing the ASI-L autosampler.
Positioning the ASI-L

Place the autosampler about 100 mm to the left of the TOC-L, as shown in "Figure 8.8
Installing the ASI-L".
Figure 8.8 Installing the ASI-L
If the distance from the instrument is more than 100 mm, the water sampling
tube may impede the movement of the ASI-L arm resulting in operation errors
or damage to the instrument.
Removing the Shipping Screw

The ASI-L arm is secured with a shipping screw to prevent damage during shipment.
Before connecting power to the instrument, remove the ASI-L cover to access the shipping
screw, which is located on the retaining bracket. Remove the shipping screw and replace
the cover. Label the shipping screw and store it for future use.
To prevent instrument damage, verify that the ASI-L arm is firmly attached to
the retaining bracket with the shipping screw before shipping the instrument
or moving it to another location.

8.8 Installation
8.8.6 Installing the TNM-L
n TNM-L TN Unit Installation
A technician from Shimadzu or designated by Shimadzu will install this unit.
n Connecting Ozone Source Air
The TNM-L incorporates an internal ozone generator, requiring a source of air gas
(supplied at about 500 mL/min) separate from the carrier gas supplied to the TOC-L.
While it is possible to use TOC-L high purity carrier gas by providing branch tubing, the
consumption of the combined-use carrier gas would increase to about
150 - 250 mL/min.
Assuming operation at the rate of 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, the 47 L, 12 MPa air cylinder
would require monthly replacement (as compared to every 3 months when used for
carrier gas alone).
Because air gas for ozone generation is not required to be the high purity air used as
carrier gas, it is recommended to use instrumentation air or compressor-supplied air for
ozone generation, separate from the carrier gas.
Using Compressor Air or Instrumentation Air

When using compressor air or instrumentation air for generation of ozone, be sure that
the following conditions are satisfied.
• Install an air filter in the air supply line to eliminate dust, oil mist and water droplets
from the air. If a compressor is used, install the air filter (equipped with drain
separation and discharge branch) close to the tubing connection at the instrument.
• If a compressor is used, select an oil-less type air compressor. Shimadzu offers the
SLP5D-2SV oilless and silent air compressor (P/N 042-70041-02) and AW30-02BG-N filter
regulator (P/N 040-82118-23) as options.
Using a High Purity Air-Filled Cylinder (Via Branch Tubing from Carrier Gas)
High purity air is synthesized air using pure nitrogen and pure oxygen. Ensure that
contaminants, including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and total hydrocarbons, are
guaranteed not to exceed 1 ppm each.
Install a pressure regulator on the gas cylinder and supply gas to the instrument so that
the pressure is 300 kPa at the instrument gas connection port.
If there are excessive contaminants in the carrier gas, measurement results will
be adversely affected due to low measurement reproducibility, etc.

Precautions in Handling Gas Cylinders

The handling and safety management of high-pressure gases is strictly
regulated by high-pressure gas control laws, general high-pressure gas safety
codes, and fire laws.
The gas used in this instrument itself is not dangerous, but mistakes in the
handling of high-pressure gas cylinders can be extremely hazardous. Carefully
read and obey the following precautions.
• Place gas cylinders in a well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
• Ensure that gas cylinders never reach temperatures higher than 40 °C.
• Make sure there are no open flames anywhere within 2 meters of a gas
cylinder.
• Secure cylinders with bands or other fasteners to prevent tipping and falling.
• When finished using gas, immediately and completely turn OFF all valves on
the cylinder.
• Inspect the operation of the pressure gauge at least once every three (3)
months.
Gas Supply Pressure

Supply gas at a constant, stable pressure of 300 to 600 kPa (87 PSI) at the gas inlet
connection of the TNM-L.
If a supply pressure higher than 300 kPa is required when using compressed air
or instrument air, always keep it at 600 kPa or less.

8.8 Installation
Gas Tubing Connections

The special accessory Air Supply Tubing Set includes nylon tubing and connectors (two
(2) half unions).
Figure 8.18 Gas Tubing Connection
Procedure
1 Connect the half unions to the carrier gas inlet on the instrument and the
connection outlet (¼" NPT) of the gas supply source.
2 Connect the nylon tubing (4 mm O.D., 2.5 mm I.D.) between the gas supply
source and the instrument.
The nylon tubing can be connected simply by firmly inserting it into the half
union. When disconnecting the tubing, pull off the tubing while pushing down
firmly on the green-colored ring of the half union using a screwdriver.
3 After connection, check to see that there are no gas leaks.
• Do not allow any acute bends in the tubing.

• When tubing and connectors are prepared by the user, be sure to use clean
components that are free of oils or other contaminants on their inner
surfaces.
• Copper tubing or stainless steel tubing may also be used.
8
Low Ozone Air Supply Pressure Safety Mechanism
As a safety measure, the TNM-L is equipped with an ozone air gas pressure sensor that
will automatically switch off the ozone generator if the ozone air gas pressure decreases
below the prescribed level. If an error message is displayed indicating this problem,
perform an inspection of the ozone air gas supply.

Connecting Gas Exhaust Tubing

Because the unit uses a chemiluminescence system for the detection of TN components,
it is equipped with an internal ozone generator. The ozone and NOx generated are
removed by the ozone treatment unit and NOx absorber, and are then exhausted.
However, in the event that the performance of the ozone treatment catalyst and NOx
absorber deteriorate, ozone and NOx gas may be expelled in the exhaust gas. Be sure
to discharge exhaust gas to the outdoors or to an exhaust pit using a 5 mm I.D. flexible
vinyl hose.
• To minimize resistance, leave the gas exhaust tubing open to the atmosphere.
• Be sure to connect the gas exhaust tubing to the instrument and discharge
the exhaust gas to the outdoors or an exhaust pit.
• If the gas exhaust tubing is not connected, ozone and NOx gas may be
exhausted from the instrument, causing harm to the respiratory organs of
individuals in the vicinity.
Expose the exhaust gas tubing to atmospheric pressure to reduce resistance.
