                                         Kit for small sample volumes

                    SCA-130-505


            The instruments of the TOC-L  series are            ■ Small sample volumes
            designed  to  successively  analyze  many           It can also occur, however, that only a few mL
            different  types  of  samples  of  different        of  sample  are  available.  This  is  usually  the
            concentrations. For the autosampler, sample         case when there is only little sample
            trays for  different sample numbers and             available, the sampling process is complex or
            sample volumes are available.                       the sample is very valuable. For such cases,
                                                                the kit for small sample volumes is available.
                                                                The 5 mL syringe body can be exchanged for
                                                                a 500 µL syringe in a rapid conversion step.
                                                                Moreover, the injection slider has to be
                                                                exchanged too.

                                                                With    this  option,   automatic    dilution,

                                                                the specifications are, therefore, changed as
                                                                follows:

                                                                Measurement range:  TC, IC: to 2,000 mg/L
                                                                                      TN: to 200 mg/L

                                                                Injection volume:    150µl maximal
                                                                Diameter:            0.2 mm
            To  eliminate  cross-contamination  between         NPOC-Measurement:  In ASI-L with external
            analyses of the different samples, the number                            Sparge kit
            of rinsing  steps  can be defined in the            ASI-L:               9ml Rack
            software.  There  is  usually  enough  sample
            volume available to rinse the tubing and the        ■ Example
            injection system of the TOC-L several times.        5 mL sample is sufficient for NPOC
            Depending on the measuring method,                  determination using an ASI-L, 9mL vials

            rinsing  steps,  10  –  20  mL  of  the  sample  is
            needed.
