INSPIRION TOC Series

Method Overview

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis is a critical measurement for assessing organic content in water, solids, and process streams. It serves as a key indicator of purity, contamination, and environmental impact across numerous industries.

From monitoring wastewater discharge and ensuring pharmaceutical water purity to controlling ultrapure water in electronics manufacturing and evaluating soil fertility, TOC analyzers provide essential data for quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and process optimization.
