The TOC-L Series from Shimadzu sets the standard for Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis, utilizing the 680°C combustion catalytic oxidation method, a globally recognized technique pioneered by Shimadzu. With an ultra-wide measurement range from 4 µg/L to 30,000 mg/L, this system ensures unmatched sensitivity, accuracy, and versatility across diverse applications, from ultrapure water testing to high-contaminant sample analysis.
Key Features and Benefits
- Unparalleled Sensitivity and Wide Measurement Range: Achieve a detection limit as low as 4 µg/L, the highest sensitivity available for the combustion catalytic oxidation method, making it ideal for applications requiring extreme precision.
- Comprehensive TOC Measurement Options: The TOC-L Series supports TC, IC, TOC (TC-IC), and NPOC measurements, with additional options for POC (volatile organic carbon), TOC via POC + NPOC, and TN (Total Nitrogen) analysis.
- Reliable and Efficient Sample Injection System:
- Automatic acidification and sparging to remove inorganic carbon efficiently.
- Automated dilution function extends measurement capacity up to 30,000 mg/L, reducing sample salinity, acidity, and alkalinity, thus increasing catalyst and combustion tube lifespan.
- Real-time priority sample addition, even while using an autosampler, ensures maximum workflow efficiency.
- User-Friendly and Flexible Design:
- Available in four models, including high-sensitivity and standard versions, to match diverse research and industrial applications.
- Choose between PC-controlled models or standalone units with LCD and keyboard operation.
- USB connectivity enhances data transfer and compatibility with external storage and general-purpose PC printers.
- Enhanced Functionality with Optional Features:
- Simultaneous TOC and TN measurement with an added TN unit.
- Compressor air operation via a carrier gas purification kit.
- Gas and solid sample measurement enabled through specialized kits.
- Advanced seawater and low-volume sample analysis capabilities.
- Space- and Energy-Efficient Design: The TOC-L Series is 20% more compact than previous Shimadzu models, optimizing laboratory space without compromising functionality—even when a TN unit is added.
