TOC Water Analysis

TOC (Total Organic Carbon) analysis in waters

In addition to our ISO 17025 accredited CHNOS analysis services, our laboratory also specialises in several types of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis*, including water.

Elemental Lab offers comprehensive carbon analysis of organic matter in waters, providing measurement of all the parameters listed below:

TOC (Total Organic Carbon)
TIC (Total Inorganic Carbon)
TC (Total Carbon)
NPOC (Non-Purgeable Organic Carbon)
DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon)

We can also analyse high saline content water samples, again providing all the above analysis parameters.

Elemental Microanalysis uses the combustion catalytic oxidation method for analysis of TOC and related parameters in waters.

Sample requirements

Aqueous samples only must be provided.
50 ml of sample per analysis type is required.
For DOC analysis, samples should be filtered first – please indicate if you wish our laboratory to do this.

Analysis options

Analysis options include single, duplicate, or triplicate.
Results in 10 business days (or less) from receipt of sample.
The limit of detection for this analysis is ~0.1 mg/l .
High saline content samples also analysed.
