Total Organic Carbon (TOC)

Total organic carbon (TOC) is a measure of the amount of carbon from organic material present in samples. A sample is typically but not limited to aqueous solutions or pure water. Measurement of solids or even gases is also possible with this technique.
Since TOC is a widely used technique in the measurement of liquids, this technique has resulted in representing an index of water quality, used in your processes.
TOC is a fast, exact and matrix-independent technique that gives a result of all carbon components present in the sample. Identification of individual organic compounds is not possible with this technique.

Why measure TOC on your samples?

  • Water quality is very important for the final quality of your finished products.
  • Repeated measurements of water samples from your process water gives insight in the quality of the water supply system itself.
  • TOC is an interesting and cost effective technique used in cleaning validations with a faster response and lower limit of detection than other techniques used.
