Product Overview

Purpose-built measurement, clearly presented.

The U1600-O provides continuous or scheduled low-level TOC monitoring at validated high-purity-water sample points. Its wall-mounted stainless-steel configuration combines sample-flow conditioning, matched TIC and TC channels, UV oxidation, differential conductivity detection, touchscreen operation, trending, alarms, and secure electronic records.

The analyzer is designed for pharmaceutical PW and WFI systems, electronic-grade ultrapure water, deionized-water systems, and other approved low-conductivity applications. Optional sample conditioning, hot-water cooling, reporting, remote software, and integration packages allow the delivered configuration to be matched to the process and quality-system requirements.

Distinctive Capabilities

  • Continuous or routine online TOC monitoring at validated sample points
  • Touchscreen operation with result review, trending, alarms, and electronic records
  • Large onboard record storage with serial, USB, and Ethernet connectivity
  • Optional hot-water conditioning, remote monitoring, reporting, and validation support
Performance & Technical Data

The measurement method and the values that matter.

How it measures

Measurement Principle

The sample is divided into matched flow paths. The unoxidized path measures total inorganic carbon (TIC), while the second path passes through a titanium-dioxide photocatalytic reactor illuminated by dual-wavelength 185 nm and 254 nm UV light to convert oxidizable organic carbon to carbon dioxide and measure total carbon (TC). Both conductivity responses are temperature compensated, and the analyzer calculates total organic carbon as TOC = TC - TIC.

Application Review

Application Engineering Notes

Delivered configuration

The analyzer nameplate, order confirmation, packing list, factory test report, calibration certificate, and approved model datasheet define the delivered hardware, validated range, connections, software settings, and analytical method.

Sample integrity

The U1600-O is designed for low-conductivity, high-purity-water matrices. The approved sampling method should control location, transport time, temperature, pressure, contamination, flushing, and sample representativeness.

Data integrity and compliance

User access, audit-trail, electronic-signature, storage, and communication functions support regulated workflows, but compliance depends on the complete validated system and site controls.

Online Analyzer Configuration

Sample System & Online Analyzer Readiness

Reliable online measurement depends on the process interface as well as the analyzer. Confirm the following application data before final configuration and quotation.

Sample Type & Phase
Low-conductivity high-purity water, including pharmaceutical PW, WFI, electronic ultrapure water, deionized water, and other approved water matrices. Wastewater, concentrated process streams, high-salt matrices, and suspensions require written application review and are normally outside the approved method.
Measurement Range
Confirm expected TOC level, alert and action limits, required reporting units, calibration range, system-suitability requirement, and applicable site or pharmacopoeial procedure. The approved working range is 1-1600 micrograms/L carbon with a 1 microgram/L detection limit.
Sample Conditions
Provide sample pressure, temperature, conductivity, cleanliness, particle content, sanitization temperature, organic load, flow availability, and sampling-point arrangement. Standard sample temperature is 1-50 degrees C; hotter service requires the approved condenser.
Sample Handling
Define sanitary take-off, safe isolation, pressure and flow control, 3 mm sample tubing, flushing, low-TOC-compatible materials, optional 60 micrometre or smaller particle filtration, cooling where required, unrestricted drain, and representative sample transport.
Installation Area
Confirm wall-mount location, clean and dry non-hazardous environment, 10-40 degrees C ambient, service and ventilation access, proximity to the loop, drain location, network access, and any washdown, corrosive-vapor, or outdoor limitations.
Utilities
Provide grounded 220 VAC matching the delivered nameplate, at least 0.3 MPa upstream of the controlled sample arrangement, 6-10 mL/min analyzer flow, unrestricted near-atmospheric drain, communication cabling, approved standards, and condenser utilities when ordered.
Response Requirement
Define continuous monitoring, scheduled verification, quality investigation, release support, alarm response, or trend monitoring. The published analysis time is approximately three minutes per test, excluding sample transport and flushing.
Integration Requirement
Confirm RS232, RS485, USB, and Ethernet use, network settings, alarms, report and printer configuration, remote or database options, historian or LIMS workflow, user roles, audit trail, electronic signatures, data retention, backup, and cybersecurity responsibilities.
Commissioning Requirement
Verify mounting, grounded power, safe isolation, sample pressure and 6-10 mL/min flow, unrestricted drain, leak integrity, low-TOC water, calibration standards, verification and system suitability as applicable, interfaces, alarms, reports, user accounts, audit trail, backup, training, and handover documents.
