Shimadzu released the TOC-1000e, an analyzer in the eTOC series of on-line TOC analyzers formulated for pure water applications.
Shimadzu released the TOC-1000e, an analyzer in the eTOC series of on-line TOC analyzers formulated for pure water applications. With a focus on miniaturization, high sensitivity, and a mercury-free oxidation technique, the analyzer has a small, light cabinet that offers high-sensitivity detection for fields that require high-purity water applications.

With an “Active-Path” flow line design, the analyzer uses an excimer lamp rather than a mercury lamp to integrate sample flow channel and the light source. This lessens sample residue in the flow channel and removes intrusive air layers, so high sensitivity is maintained over long-term use.
Additionally, the analyzer can be installed as table-top, wall-mounted, or pole-mounted. It provides high sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.1 μg/L; it contains consumable parts that can be removed and installed without tools; and it is compliant with regulatory requirements through its highly sensitive UV oxidation-conductivity method for ultra-pure water monitoring.
