1080 Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer

Designed for Performance and SimplicityThe 1080 processes aqueous samples for analysis of the total organic carbon total inorganic carbon and non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC) content. Supporting USEPA-approved methods, Standard Methods, ASTM, DIN/ISO/CEN, and EU Methods our 1080 can analyze up to 300 samples per 24-hour period, depending upon the protocol employed, in excess of 100,000 samples per year. Principal applications include wastewater, seawater, industrial process water, drinking water, groundwater, and cooling water.The 1080 also employs a multi-step analysis technique to distinguish and quantify different forms of carbon present in sample matrices and determine organic content.TIC concentration is determined by acidifying a sample to a pH less than 2. Carbonates and bicarbonates in the sample dissociate, forming CO2, which is measured by a solid-state non-dispersive infrared detector (SS-NDIR) and reported in mass and concentration values.TIC-free samples are Pulse-Timed injected into the reactor to perform high temperature (680 ºC) combustion over a platinum catalyst. Organic compounds are oxidized and converted into CO2, which is then quantified by the SS-NDIR detector. The result is reported as the TOC content in both mass and concentration of carbon.The 1080 Analyzer also supports many analytical approaches — TC/TIC/TOC/NPOC analysis techniques and standard measurements, as well as simultaneous determination of total bound nitrogen (TNb) using the optional TNb analysis module.### Features and Benefits**Solid-State Non-Dispersive Infrared Detector (SS-NDIR)**Reduces interferences from other compounds for accurate and reproducible results.**Electronic Pressure Control (EPC)*Utilized for critical flow adjustments.Patented TechnologyLess maintenance and longer instrument life with both the Catalyst Guard® and the Smart Slide Injector® (which extends the life of o-rings)Easy AccessibilityOpen architecture provides easy service access to critical components and reagents.LIMS ConnectivityMeasurement results can be easily transferred to Laboratory Information Management Systems.Video TutorialsReduce training time with quick access to OI Analytical knowledge base.Intuitive SoftwareSimple, icon-driven interface and user-friendly functionality. * *With over 50 years of experience designing TOC analyzers, OI Analytical has developed the 1080 to give you the accurate results you need with a low cost of ownership and unprecedented ease of use.

The automatic dilution function reduces sample salinity, acidity, and alkalinity, significantly extending the dynamic range.##### Priority Sample on the Fly & Increased ThroughputWith intuitive software features, priority samples can be added at any time without interrupting the operation of the instrument. The Model 1088 Autosampler analyzes up to 88 samples unattended freeing the operator’s time for other projects.##### Compact DesignThe autosampler was designed to fit beneath the 1080, conserving bench space.##### Intuitive SoftwareTOCView provides fully automated data collection, analysis, reporting, storage in a LIMS environment using logical, and easy-to-follow design. Create methods for the analysis, set up and prioritize samples, quickly monitor instrument parameters, perform routine checks, review results, and generate reports all from TOCView.##### Optional AccessoriesThe 1080 can be equipped with a number of instrument options and automation accessories to improve sample throughput and productivity. Our 88-position Rotary Autosampler, which offers automated dilution, in-situ stirring, and 88 (40 mL) sample vials, can be positioned below the analyzer for convenient installation. The optional TNb Nitrogen detector allows the measurement of total bound (inorganic and organic) nitrogen (excluding N2) in aqueous samples in tandem with TOC analysis.
