With this it is possible to distinguish between Total Organic Carbon (TOC) at 400 °C, Residual Organic Carbon (ROC) at 600 °C and Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC) at 900 °C. This gives useful information for the validation of soil, construction waste or solid waste. For example, the amount of elemental carbon is an important parameter, since this form of carbon is not bioavailable. With its fast heating rate and precise temperature setting the acquray series is fully compliant to the German DIN 19536 standard. TOC BY WET CHEMICAL OXIDATION A strong oxidation agent, such as sodium peroxydisulfate, is added to the sample and heated up to 100 °C. The oxidizing process can be further supported by irradiation with UV light at a wavelength of 180 nm and 254 nm. The peroxydisulfate forms hydroxyl radicals that oxidize all carbon in dissolved organic matter to carbon dioxide. Carrier gas then transports the generated CO 2 through an infrared detector. The peak area is converted into a TOC concentration using a simple predetermined calibration curve. series With the new acquray series Elementar opens an entirely new way for easy Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis and more. The technology is based on a chemical oxidation process supported by highly energetic UV radiation. This combination ensures complete digestion of all organic compounds. The modular concept allows the attachment of optional extra modules for the determination of TOC in solids, Total Nitrogen (TN) in water and Total Phosphorus (TP) in water. The instrument comes with predened methods, completely calibrates itself automatically and auto-alerts the user any time maintenance is needed. This makes the acquray series the ideal solution for routine labs that require instruments with high laboratory eciency and minimal down-time. Ease of use The acquray series is optimized to signiflcantly simplify the daily routine operation. Clearly arranged, easily accessible system components minimize maintenance eorts. Thus, customers can enjoy smooth analyses and confldence in their results. A workhorse for any laboratory The acquray series is designed for maximum robustness and minimal maintenance eort, thus providing industry-leading system uptime. For unattended overnight operation, optional autosampler conflgurations with up to 109positions are available. The acquray series, with its modular concept, oers an in- dustry-leading versatility. Starting from the TOC analyzer base module, additional extra modules can be attached at any - time. For increased sample throughput, an autosampler unit is available, oering several carousels for dierent sample vial sizes. An optional combustion furnace for solid samples can be used either for the classical TOC analysis of solids via acidi- cation prior to combustion, or for the more advanced method via temperature ramping without acidication. Completing the package, another two unique modules are available that enable the determination of Total Nitrogen in water and Total Phosphorus in water. Thus, acquray is the world’s rst UV-digestion TOC analyzer with a Total Nitrogen and/or a Total Phosphorus option (patent pending). All Elementar elemental analyzers are developed and man- ufactured in-house at the Elementar headquarters near Frankfurt ensuring high quality German engineering. High performance components and strict quality control yield industry-leading quality and reliability. Designed for easy lab- oratory integration, features such as automatic weight transfer from balance or LIMS integration are readily available. Our team’s singular devotion and investment to elemental analysis guarantees a superior experience that any user will appreciate.

THE ALTERNATIVE FOR COD The analysis of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a commonly used method for the indirect measurement of organic compounds in water. Hazardous chemicals, long analysis time and the lack of automation explain the trend towards the TOC method in recent years. Moreover, production and sales of potassium dichromate, a prerequisite for the COD method, will be banned within the European Union by 2017 making it likely that a total displacement of COD will proceed in the upcoming years. With this in mind, the acquray series was developed to provide an attractive alternative to COD with its outstanding ease of use and fully automated, fast analysis. Furthermore, the acquray series software is capable of COD/TOC correlation factors for flexible reporting. IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARDS The acquray series operates in full compliance with all relevant national and international norms or standards such as DIN 19539, DIN 15936 and DIN 13137.
