Total Carbon Analyzer; Helps Measure the Amount of Carbon in an Organic Compound

Total carbon analyzer is used to find out the percentage of total amount of organic and inorganic carbon in the water. The system measures the amount of initial inorganic carbon contained in the water, oxidizes all organic to the CO2 (inorganic carbon) form, and then measures the final concentration of CO2. Total carbon analyzers can analyze various elements, such as nitrogen, sulfur, and different types of carbon. The system is widely used to manage decisions, real-time measurements, product quality measurement, and release of control reports. Thus, it is widely used in pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries.

The total carbon analyzer is a portable, battery-operated, fixed-axis probe instrument used for the measurement of total carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen concentrations in the air, water, or soil. This equipment is available as either dry or wet sample probes. A probe can be attached to the analyzer through a variety of techniques, including mechanical couplings, electrical couplings, elastic couplings, and oral cannula. The various techniques enable researchers to obtain the results desired. The total carbon analyzer is used for real-time data analysis: and remote mode to analysis previously-collected sample samples from remote areas.

Total carbon analyzer is a valued, analytical technique that is applied by organizations and labs to determine how suitable a solution is for their processes. The carbon analysis is conducted in three different stages, such as oxidation, acidification, and detection and quantification. The analysis is done to find out both organic and inorganic carbon in the water, as well as to confirm its purity. Total carbon analysis has become essential in various end-use industries, especially after stringent regulations set by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS), which requires strict quality water in the semiconductor industry.

Thus, there is an increasing demand for total carbon analyzers in various end-use industries. For example, in May 2020, Peak Scientific (UK) launched new total organic carbon generator, TOC 1000, which delivers improved performance for the latest TOC analyzers available on the market.
