550 TOC Total Organic Carbon Analyzer
Thornton's 550 Total Organic Carbon Analyzer provides continuous online TOC analysis of pure and ultrapure waters, using proven UV-Oxidation/Differential Conductivity measurement technology, simultaneously displaying sample water TOC, resistivity or conductivity (un-compensated or compensated) and temperature.
Description
The 550 provides a range of measurement capabilities useful for various applications including:
- Pure & UPW production
- Semiconductor UPW and wafer processes
- Pharmaceutical waters
- Recycle and reclaim
- Power generation DI make-up water
The standard 550 provides a wide operating range (0.1 to 1000 ppb TOC), while the 550-HT, a high-temperature version with the same range, is capable of handling sample waters with elevated temperatures (up to 90° C).
The 550 and 550-HT are capable of meeting specific regulatory requirements for applications in the Pharmaceutical industry, measuring TOC in pure water (PW), water for injection (WFI) and highly purified water (HPW). Both the 550 and 550-HT meet USP <643> and EP 2.2.44 requirements. Validation support documentation (IQ/OQ) is available. The 550-SX model offers low TOC level detection (<30 ppb), typical of sample waters in many Semiconductor UPW and wafer process applications.
The 550 TOC Analyzers provide extremely fast and accurate response. Because it is a continuous online monitor, rather than a timely batch instrument, the analyzer obtains data immediately and allows you to react quickly to changes in your water system. This technology requires no gases or reagents, and incorporates no moving parts or membranes. These combined features equate to extremely low scheduled maintenance requirements.
