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.

■ Specification
With this option, automatic dilution,
acidification and sparging is not possible and
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

needed.
