Water quality assessment is crucial in various industries, from environmental monitoring to wastewater treatment and pharmaceutical production. One of the key parameters in evaluating organic pollution is Total Organic Carbon (TOC), alongside Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5). TOC serves as a reliable indicator of the organic carbon content in water, providing critical insights into contamination levels.
To facilitate accurate, efficient, and user-friendly TOC analysis, NANOCOLOR has introduced the TOC 30 Neo and TOC 300 Neo tube tests. These innovative products promise improved handling, streamlined workflows, and precise results—all in just three simple steps. Let’s explore how these tests redefine TOC measurement.
Understanding TOC and Its Importance
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is the sum of dissolved and undissolved organic carbon compounds in a water sample. It is derived from the total carbon (TC) content by subtracting the total inorganic carbon (TIC):
TOC=TC−TICTOC = TC – TIC
TOC measurement is essential across multiple industries:
Environmental Monitoring: Detects organic pollutants in natural water bodies.
Wastewater Treatment: Helps assess treatment efficiency.
Pharmaceutical & Food Industries: Ensures compliance with stringent purity standards.
Industrial Applications: Monitors process water quality.
The New NANOCOLOR TOC Neo Tests: What’s New?
The NANOCOLOR TOC 30 Neo and TOC 300 Neo tests are designed to provide precise TOC measurement with enhanced usability. These tests rely on well-established chemistry but introduce improved handling through a new screw coupling mechanism. The enhancements make TOC testing faster, more efficient, and safer for laboratory professionals.
Key Features and Benefits:
Reliable Results in Just Three Steps:
Expulsion of Inorganic Carbon (TIC) using NANOCOLOR TIC-Ex.
Sample Digestion in a NANOCOLOR thermoblock.
Measurement of the digested sample using NANOCOLOR photometers.
Enhanced Screw Coupling for Better Handling: The new design simplifies cell handling, making the process more user-friendly and reducing the risk of errors.
Closed Digestion System: Eliminates the need for a pressure compensation cannula, ensuring safer and more efficient digestion.
Fast & Accurate Analysis: Delivers reliable TOC values within two hours.
How the NANOCOLOR TOC Neo Tests Work
Step 1: Expulsion of Inorganic Carbon (TIC)
Before TOC analysis, it is crucial to remove inorganic carbon (TIC), which could otherwise interfere with results. The NANOCOLOR TIC-Ex reagent is used to drive off inorganic carbon in the form of CO₂, ensuring only organic carbon remains in the sample.
Step 2: Sample Digestion
The sample is then digested using NANOCOLOR thermoblocks, a controlled heating process that oxidizes organic carbon compounds into CO₂. This oxidation step is crucial for accurate TOC determination.
Step 3: Photometric Measurement
After digestion, the sample is analyzed using NANOCOLOR photometers, which precisely measure the TOC concentration. The results are obtained quickly, enabling real-time decision-making for water quality management.
Why Choose NANOCOLOR TOC Neo?
Simplified Workflow: The entire process is streamlined into three easy steps.
Improved User Experience: Enhanced screw coupling ensures a hassle-free setup.
