Total Organic Carbon (TOC)

Shimadzu has been a world leader in the manufacture of high-quality Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysers since 1967. These state-of-the-art TOC-lab and online analysers maximize both, sensitivity and productivity, making them the ideal choice for our customers. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) measures the concentration of organic carbon in a sample, usually water. This analysis helps identify organic contaminants, including natural organic matter, pollutants, or industrial residues. The process starts by measuring the total carbon (TC) in the sample, which includes both organic and inorganic carbon (IC). To isolate TOC, we remove the inorganic carbon by acidifying the sample, converting carbonates to carbon dioxide, and then purging it. The remaining carbon, known as non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC), is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide, which we measure to determine the TOC.

TOC analysis is essential in fields like environmental monitoring, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals because it provides a comprehensive overview of organic contamination. It is particularly valuable for ensuring water quality and safety, as high levels of organic carbon can indicate pollution or inefficiencies in water treatment processes. At Mason Technology, we offer advanced TOC analyzers and accessories, ensuring our clients access the latest innovations in this critical analytical technique. Our TOC solutions provide high sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability, supporting a wide range of applications from routine monitoring to advanced research.
