The task of choosing a Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyzer for cleaning validation and purified water testing brings one to consider the many techniques currently on the market. This becomes more difficult when faced with understanding that TOC analyzer manufacturers may use different detection techniques, which could affect the analytical data.
The concentration of organic and inorganic carbon in seawater is of considerable interest. Some Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyzers have been designed for straightforward analysis of these waters, with special features to avoid many of the problems found with salty samples.
