Modes
The enviro TOC is optimized for environmental and wastewater analysis. The following modes are available:Liquid mode
The liquid mode offers a fully automated 60-positions autosampler. All positions can be stirred, automatically acidified, and purged. Alternatively, a cost-efficient solution with manual sample change is also available. The change between liquid mode and solid mode is very easy and takes only a few minutes.
Solid mode
The solid mode offers different autosamplers for up to 120 sample positions. Alternatively, a cost-efficient solution with manual sample change is also available. The change between liquid mode and solid mode is very easy and takes only minimum time.
Analytical specifications
Analysis method

Long lifetime & low running costs: SALTTRAP protects combustion tube and catalyst
- The innovative combustion tube concept enables real matrix separation and offers maximum protection of the combustion tube and catalyst. This leads to long lifetime and low running costs.
- Designed for analyses of salt-containing samples, particles, or other challenging sample matrices that reduce the lifetime of the combustion tube and catalyst.
- Only SALTTRAP guarantees truly effective glass corrosion protection because the salts are trapped directly at the point where they melt.
Precise results with no carry over: Autosampler optimized for particle containing samples
- 60 position autosampler with automatic rinsing, stirring, and acidification functions to give the lowest possible carry over and stop sedimentation.
- The rinsing of the sampling needle reduces carryover and lowers maintenance requirements.
- The sample stirring produces a homogenous particle distribution resulting in stable results for particle containing solutions.
- Largest introduction tube diameters (0.8 mm as standard).
Full recovery of even the most stable compounds: High temperature combustion furnace with flexibly adjustable temperatures
- Furnace temperatures up to 1,200 °C guarantee a complete oxidation and recovery of stable compounds.
- Suitable and flexible temperature settings for salt-containing solutions (~720-750 °C), particle-containing solutions (850 °C), and solids (>900 °C) with one furnace.
Highest sample flexibility: Analyze liquid & solid samples in a single instrument
- The enviro TOC is a single instrument solution for laboratories analyzing both liquid and solid samples.
- The change between liquid mode and solid mode is very easy and takes less than 2 minutes.
- Tailored to the analysis of TOC, NPOC, TC, TIC, DOC, POC or TNb in environmental matrices.
- Only one instrument for both, liquid and solid samples, saves bench space and reduces investment costs significantly.
Simultaneous TNb determination: Integrated detectors for both CO2 and NO in a single instrument
- Customized, integrated detectors for CO2 and NO determination with option for either chemiluminescence detector (CLD) or electrochemical detector (ECD).
- Variable sample volumes allow multipoint calibration from a single standard solution and avoid dilution errors. Extraordinary linearity over a large calibration range.
Standard-compliant: In accordance with official standards
- The enviro TOC works in compliance with all relevant standards for TOC, TC, TIC and TNb in liquid samples such as ISO 20236, ISO 8245, EN 1484, EN 12260, SM 5310B, EPA 415.1, and ASTM D7573.
