INTRODUCTION
The Sievers M9 and M9e TOC AnalyzersSievers M5310 C TOC Analyzer from GE Analytical
Instruments includes patented1 high-sensitivity Analyzers used to measure the concentration
of total organic carbon (TOC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), and total carbon (TC = TOC + TIC) in
water samples.
The Analyzer is based on the oxidation of organic compounds to form carbon dioxide (CO2)
using UV radiation and a chemical oxidizing agent (ammonium persulfate). Carbon dioxide is
measured using a sensitive, selective membrane-based conductometric detection technique
as described by Godec et al. (R. Godec et al., “Method and Apparatus for the Determination of
Dissolved Carbon in Water,” U.S. Patent No. 5,132,094). For each TOC measurement, the
concentration of inorganic carbon species (CO2, HCO3-, and CO3-2) is determined and, after
oxidation of the organic compounds, the total carbon (TC) content of the sample is measured.
The concentration of the organic compounds is then calculated from the difference between
the concentrations of TC and total inorganic carbon (TIC), generally referred to simply as
inorganic carbon (IC).
(TOC = TC - IC)
You can use the Analyzer to monitor water samples ranging from high-purity water
containing 0.03 parts per billion (ppb) TOC to water samples containing up to
50 parts per million (ppm) TOC. The Analyzer is easy to operate, with extremely low
maintenance, and requiring no special training or chemical knowledge. The Analyzer is
calibrated at the factory, and calibration remains stable for approximately one year.
Recalibration and validation is easily performed at your location site.
This manual presents operation and maintenance information for the Sievers M9 and M9e
TOC AnalyzersSievers M5310 C TOC Analyzer. This information, including step-by-step
instructions, applies to ALL three models (On-Line, Lab, and Portable), except where
specifically noted.

Figure 2: Analyzer Schematic—Laboratory Model
The process begins by introducing sample into the Analyzer with a one or two-stream1
sample-line and inlet connection(s) for continuous monitoring with ALL models (On-Line, Lab,
and Portable) of the Sievers M9 and M9eTOC AnalyzersSievers M5310 C TOC Analyzer. Or, you
can introduce discrete grab samples with one of the following model-specific sampling
methods.
•On-Line TOC Analyzer — Measure discrete grab samples by inserting a 40 mL sample vial
into the iOS System, located on the right side of the instrument.
You can also set up the On-Line TOC Analyzer for single grab samples to accommodate
spot checks of TOC samples from various points in the water system. With this method,
you will use a sipper tube2 and laboratory glassware (such as a flask or beaker).
•Laboratory TOC Analyzer — Measure discrete grab samples by inserting a 40 mL sample
vial into the vial port located on the front of the Analyzer, or by using the optional
GE Autosampler to introduce samples from up to 120 vials. To establish the sample flow
path, connect the needle’s attached sample tubing to the sample inlet port located on the
back of the Analyzer.
The Laboratory TOC Analyzer also accommodates single grab samples for spot checks of
TOC samples from various points in the water system. With this method, you will use a
sipper tube2 and laboratory glassware (such as a flask or beaker).
•Portable TOC Analyzer — Measure discrete grab samples by inserting a 40 mL sample vial
into the iOS System, or via a sipper tube bypassing the iOS System. You can also use the
optional GE Autosampler to introduce samples from up to 120 vials. To establish the
1. A two-stream configuration is available as an option with the Sievers M5310 C TOC Analyzer.
2. The preferred methods for sampling are on-line and grab samples using the iOS system or vial port. Testing
using a grab method with a sipper tube and laboratory glassware shows additional risk for contamination by
sample preparation and handling. Contamination can be minimized with this method by using good sampling
techniques including covering the open portion of the glassware, sampling and analyzing in the absence of
volatile organics, and using scrupulously clean glassware. For additional information, reference

sample flow path, connect the needle’s attached sample tubing to the sample inlet port
located to the left of the iOS.
As with the other models, you can set up the Portable TOC Analyzer for single grab samples
to accommodate spot checks of TOC samples from various points in the water system.
With this method, you will use a sipper tube2 and laboratory glassware (such as a flask or
beaker).
For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to “Sampling Using a Sipper Tube” on page 114.
After sample is introduced into the Analyzer, 6M phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is injected into the
sample3 at the programmed flow rate to reduce sample pH to 2. This allows for accurate
measurement of TC and IC.
An (optional) Inorganic Carbon Remover (ICR) may be used to remove excess IC by vacuum
degasification. See “Inorganic Carbon Remover (ICR)” on page 45.See “Inorganic Carbon
Remover (ICR)” on page 61 for more information on this optional configuration. If the ICR unit
is utilized, additional acid may need to be added to the sample to remove excess IC by the
ICR.
The acidified sample is then combined4 with 15% ammonium persulfate [(NH4)2S2O8] to
promote oxidation of the organics.5 The sample travels through a mixing coil and on to a
stream splitter.
The stream splitter divides the sample stream into two equal, but separate flows. One stream
is processed for the measurement of IC. The other is processed for measurement of TC.
The TC stream passes to an oxidation reactor where the sample is exposed to UV light. The
combination of UV light and (depending on the application) persulfate oxidizes the organic
compounds in the sample, converting carbon to CO2.
The reactor is a spiral quartz tube wrapped around the UV lamp. The UV lamp emits light at
185 nm and 254 nm resulting in the formation of powerful chemical oxidizing agents in the
form of hydroxyl radicals produced by the photolysis of water (equation 1) and persulfate
(equations 2 and 3):
H2O + hv (185 nm) →OH + H (1)
S2O8-2 + hn (254 nm) →2 SO4-(2)
SO4- + H2O →SO4- + OH (3)
3. The phosphoric acid is referred to as Acid in the user interface.
4. Depending on the application, some samples do NOT require the addition of persulfate. For example, when
the TOC concentration in the sample is low (<1 ppm), complete oxidation can usually be achieved using only
the hydroxyl radicals from the photolysis of water.
5. The ammonium persulfate is referred to as Oxidizer in the user interface.

The hydroxyl radicals (OH) will completely oxidize organic compounds, converting the carbon
atoms of the organic compound into CO2 (equation 4):
Organic Compounds + OH →CO2 + H2O(4)
When the TOC concentration in the sample is low (<1 ppm), complete oxidation can usually be
achieved using only the hydroxyl radicals from the photolysis of water (example 1) without
the addition of persulfate.
The IC stream passes through a delay coil, which is designed to make the total transit time of
the IC stream through the Analyzer the same as the transit time of the TC stream through the
Analyzer.
CO2 Transfer Modules
Figure 3: Sample Flow through the CO2 Transfer Module
When the TC stream exits the oxidation reactor and the IC stream exits the delay coil, each
stream moves to the CO2 Transfer Module, and through its respective channel. The CO2
Transfer Module is our patented Sievers Selective Membrane Conductometric design, utilizing
a gas-permeable membrane that allows the transfer of CO2 across the membrane. A graphic
depiction of this technology representative for either the TC or IC channel is shown in Figure 3:
Sample Flow through the CO2 Transfer Module on page 41.
NOTE: If you are reading this manual in an Adobe® PDF® format, click
the Figure 3 graphic to activate a flow animation, and click any of the
numbered processes for more information.
The membrane for each respective channel separates the sample side of the Analyzer from
the DI side. The DI side of the Analyzer is a closed loop, and consists of two conductivity cells
(one for the TC stream and one for the IC stream), a DI water pump, a DI water reservoir, and
an ion exchange resin bed.

CO2 from the sample passes through the membrane into the DI water supplied by the
integrated DI Loop, while interfering compounds and other oxidation by-products are
blocked by the membrane and remain on the sample side. The CO2 forms carbonic acid upon
reaction with water, and the carbonic acid disassociates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate
ions (equation 5):
CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3-(5)
DI water is continuously pumped through the DI side of the Analyzer, collecting the H+ and
HCO3- ions and H2CO3 and CO2 molecules from the CO2 transfer modules, delivering it to the
conductivity cell for measurement. Then the ion exchange resin removes the HCO3- and
other ions. The water is then pumped back to the CO2 transfer module to repeat the
sequence.
The TC and IC conductivity cells each contain a thermistor, and all conductivity readings are
temperature corrected. The CO2 from the TC and IC sample streams are measured by the
respective conductivity cells, and the conductivity readings are used to calculate the
concentration of TC and IC. After the values are measured, TOC is calculated as the difference
(equation 6):
TOC = TC - IC (6)
THE ANALYZER’S MAJOR SUBSYSTEMS
With the sample flow path (presented in the previous section) in mind, let’s take a closer look
inside the Analyzer. The Sievers M9 and M9eTOC Analyzers consistSievers M5310 C TOC
Analyzer consists of sixseven major subsystems. Each subsystem is discussed briefly in this
section.

Figure 5: The Analyzer’s Major Subsystems
Sample Inlet System
The sample inlet system introduces continuous sample into the Analyzer using a dual pump
system and a one or two-stream sample line connection to the Analyzer’s sample inlet port(s).
The two-stream inlet option enables efficient sampling of two independent sample sources,
without the need to alter the initial inlet setup. This optional configuration is discussed in
more detail in the "Optional Configurations"section, under “Two-Stream Inlet” on page 60.
The Analyzer introduces discrete grab samples from the Integrated On-Line Sampling (iOS)
System in both the On-Line and Portable TOC Analyzers, and from the vial port on the
Laboratory TOC Analyzer.
You can also use the GE Autosampler system to automatically introduce up to 120 vial
samples from the unit’s vial rack(s) into the sample inlet port on the Laboratory and Portable
TOC Analyzers. This optional system for high-volume laboratory applications is described in
the section, “GE Autosampler and Sievers DataPro Software” on page 62.
All Analyzer models also accommodate single grab samples for spot checks of TOC samples
from various points in the water system using a sipper tube2 (on page 39) and laboratory
glassware.
A summary of available inlet systems by Analyzer model is included in the following Table 1.

For additional information on the optional iOS and GE Autosampler, see the following
sections, "The iOS System" and “GE Autosampler and Sievers DataPro Software” on
page 62“GE Autosampler and Sievers DataPro Software” on page 62.
THE IOS SYSTEM
The patented Integrated On-Line Sampling (iOS) System enables easy introduction of
external samples and standards. Simply stop analysis, slide the iOS System door open to the
left, wait 30 seconds for sample to drain from the iOS System, and then insert a 40-mL vial
containing sample or a standard.

You can conveniently switch between on-line sampling and discrete sampling using the iOS.
After the initial iOS setup, you do NOT need to change the configuration to analyze a
standard with the iOS System. This unique feature allows you to introduce calibration,
validation, and system suitability standards directly without removing the instrument from
the continuous sample source or changing the sample inlet configuration. The Analyzer
automatically shuts off on-line water flow when it detects that the iOS door is closed and/or a
vial is inserted into the iOS.
The iOS operational steps are minimal and initial setup is brief, as described in “To sample
using the iOS” on page 113 and “To connect the inlet tubing to the iOS” on page 94.
For step-by-step instructions on spot checking TOC samples from other locations in the water
system using a sipper tube2 (on page 39) and laboratory glassware (such as a beaker or flask),
see “Grab Sample Installation — From a Sampling Container” on page 114.
Inorganic Carbon Remover (ICR)
To reduce high levels of inorganic carbon (IC) in sample streams with high IC/TOC ratios (such
as raw surface and ground waters) before measurement, the Analyzer contains an inorganic
carbon remover (ICR) for more accurate results. Typically, if the TOC is 10% or less of the IC
concentration, the ICR is required. For example, if the IC is 1 ppm, then use the ICR if the TOC is
100 ppb or less for accurate TOC measurements. The Analyzer will calculate the TOC/IC ratio
for each measurement. If this ratio is less than 0.1, the Analyzer issues a Warning message on
the Touch Panel screen, which can also be viewed on the Warnings and Errors list. You can
bypass the ICR at any time, as needed, using the ICR On/Off setting located on the Modify On-
Line Method screen.
The ICR consists of a Teflon® degassing module and a vacuum pump. In the sampling
process, the Analyzer introduces the sample flow into the Analyzer and acid is added to the
sample. The stream is then directed through the ICR’s Teflon degasser before continuing on
through the Analyzer’s sample flow path. (See “The Sample Flow Path” on page 38.) Carbon

dioxide produced from the reaction of bicarbonate and carbonate with acid is removed from
the sample stream by the vacuum. The sample is then returned to the Analyzer and is
directed by the stream splitter for measurement of IC and TC. Approximately 98% of the IC is
removed at concentrations up to 25 ppm.
Chemical Reagent System
Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and ammonium persulfate [(NH4)2S2O8], referred to respectively as
Acid and Oxidizer in the User Interface and this manual, are introduced as reagents into the
sample at different points in the flow path. The Acid brings about a chemical reaction to
reduce the sample pH to 2, which is needed in order to allow for the accurate measurement
of TC and IC.
The acidified sample is then combined with the Oxidizer to create oxidation of the organics,
to promote accurate TC and IC measurements. The sample then goes through a mixing coil
and on to a stream splitter, where it is divided into two separate flows for TC and IC
processing.
Separate cartridge reservoirs hold the Acid and Oxidizer inside the Analyzer on the fluidics
(right) side. Each reservoir is connected to a needle-and-syringe pump mechanism. The
Analyzer activates each syringe pump at pre-programmed intervals and lengths (using the
Auto Reagent setting) to dispense the optimal amount of Acid and Oxidizer into the sample.
The modular assembly of the chemical reagent system is designed for easy removal and
replacement of the reagent cartridges. See “Replacing Consumable Items” on page 164.

After the acidified sample is combined with Oxidizer, the TC sample passes into the oxidizer
reactor, a spiral quartz tube wrapped around an ultraviolet (UV) lamp. The UV lamp emits light
at 185 nm and 254 nm, and this exposure along with the persulfate6 utilizes the UV-promoted
photolysis of water to convert carbon to CO2.
The UV lamp is a consumable item and replacement is recommended every six months to
ensure the intensity of the beam. See “Replacing the UV Lamp” on page 165.
CO2 Measurement Module
After the TC stream passes the oxidizer reactor, and the IC stream simultaneously exits the
delay coil, each stream moves to the CO2 measurement module. The CO2 measurement
module consists of a:
•Our patented CO2 Transfer manifold, a fluidics block with separate TC and IC channels to
the gas-permeable membrane that allows the transfer of CO2
•Two quartz conductivity cells, one for the TC channel and the other for the IC channel
•Dual Conductivity Signal Processor (CSP), processing data from each TC and IC channel
The membrane separates the sample side of the Analyzer from the DI side. In each TC and IC
stream channel, CO2 from the sample passes freely through the membrane to the DI side,
while interfering compounds and oxidation by-products are blocked by the membrane and
remain on the sample side, thus eliminating interference from non-carbon based compounds
and byproducts.
The CO2 that has passed through to the DI side reacts with water supplied by the integrated
DI Loop to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid disassociates into hydrogen ions and
bicarbonate ions. The concentration of CO2 and ions increases until they both approach
equilibrium on both sides of the membrane.
6. When the TOC concentration in the sample is low (<1 ppm), complete oxidation can usually be achieved using
only the hydroxyl radicals from the photolysis of water without the addition of persulfate.

The Analyzer opens the valve of each TC and IC channel in the CO2 transfer manifold, and CO2
and ions transfer to the respective conductivity cell. Each conductivity cell contains a
thermistor, which the Analyzer uses to temperature-correct all conductivity readings. The
conductivity readings are then used to calculate the concentration of TC and IC. TOC is
calculated as the difference:
TOC = TC - IC
The Analyzer pumps the sample remaining on the sample side out through the waste outlet.
The water on the DI side continues through the DI loop, as described in the following section.
Fluidics Module
The fluidics module subsystem contains the:
•TC and IC sample pumps
•DI water loop
•DI water reservoir
•Ion exchange resin column
•Circulation pump
A dual-pump system (one for TC flow and one for IC) draws sample through the sample flow
path in the Analyzer. (See “The Sample Flow Path” on page 38.)
An enclosed DI water loop serves to deliver deionized water to the CO2 transfer module. The
circulation pump continuously pushes deionized water from the DI water reservoir in a
continuous loop into the CO2 transfer manifold (and through both the inside TC and IC
channels), and then out the manifold to the related conductivity cell for measurement. The
water continues on the loop path to the ion exchange resin column where CO2 and the ions
are removed, producing freshly deionized water. This is then fed back into the DI side of the
CO2 transfer module. And, the loop is repeated on a continuous basis while the Analyzer is
running (whether or not you are sampling).

•Manufactured date
•Expiration date
The Analyzer uses this information to automatically track the remaining volume, based on the
number of syringe extractions. You can view the remaining Acid and Oxidizer level indicators
on the Home screen. (See “Viewing Consumables Levels” on page 128.) The Analyzer also
reminds you to replace each reagent reservoir by displaying a Warning message at the top of
the screen when each reagent level reaches 10% of its original capacity, and an Error
message when the reservoir reaches 5% capacity. For additional information, refer to
“Warning and Error Messages” on page 167.
7. GE Analytical Instruments directs operators to ONLY use reagents manufactured and sold by
GE Analytical Instruments in the Analyzer, as these reagents and their cartridges have been designed for
optimal operation and sampling results. The RFID does NOT read data from any other manufacturer’s label,
and therefore will not be able to automatically track expiration volumes or other data. If using other
manufacturer’s reagents, you can manually enter the installation date on the Consumables tab on the
Maintenance screen, however, GE Analytical Instruments cannot guarantee optimal Analyzer operation or
sampling results.

Sample Conductivity
(Laboratory and Portable TOC Analyzers Only)
The Sievers M9 and M9e Laboratory and Portable AnalyzersSievers M5310 C Laboratory and
Portable TOC Analyzers can be configured to include a conductivity cell to measure and
report the amount of conductivity in your samples. The conductivity cell is located at the
beginning of the IC sample flow path and can detect a raw conductivity range between 0.01 -
35 S/cm. Pharmaceutical customers will find this range to meet USP Chapter <645>
conductivity measurement. For additional conductivity specifications, refer to Chapter 2, "02-
00_System Specifications.fm."
Two-Stream Inlet
(On-Line and Portable TOC Analyzers Only)
The Sievers M5310 C Laboratory and Portable TOC Analyzers are available with a two-stream
sample line connection to the Analyzer’s sample inlet port(s). The two-stream inlet option
enables efficient sampling of two independent sample sources, without the need to alter the
initial inlet setup.
Just select one of the two streams to sample at a time using the Setup screen, and run the
sample analysis for this stream. You can save one or more methods for Stream 1 and one or
more methods for Stream 2 (each with unique settings) to use again. You can then easily
switch between streams by just selecting the stream and method, and without having to re-
plumbing the inlet.

Inorganic Carbon Remover (ICR)
To reduce high levels of inorganic carbon (IC) in sample streams with high IC/TOC ratios
before measurement, GE Analytical Instruments offers an optional Analyzer configuration
containing an inorganic carbon remover (ICR) for more accurate results. Typically, if the TOC is
10% or less of the IC concentration, the ICR is required. For example, if the IC is 1 ppm, then
use the ICR if the TOC is 100 ppb or less for accurate TOC measurements. The Analyzer will
calculate the TOC/IC ratio for each measurement. If this ratio is less than 0.1, the Analyzer
issues a Warning message on the Touch Panel screen, which can also be viewed on the
Warnings and Errors list. You can bypass the ICR at any time, as needed, using the ICR On/Off
setting located on the Modify On-Line Method screen.
The ICR consists of a Teflon® degassing module, a vacuum pump, and a carbon-and-soda
lime trap. In the sampling process, the Analyzer introduces the sample flow into the Analyzer
and acid is added to the sample as usual. The stream is then directed through the ICR’s Teflon
degasser. Carbon dioxide produced from the reaction of bicarbonate and carbonate with
acid is removed from the sample stream by the vacuum. The sample is then returned to the
Analyzer and is directed by the stream splitter for measurement of IC and TC. Approximately
98% of the IC is removed at concentrations up to 25 ppm. The activated carbon-and-soda
lime trap prevents contamination of the sample stream from organic compounds and CO2 in
the atmosphere.
Turbo Operation Mode
A Turbo Sampling Mode is available as an optional configuration to
Sievers M9 and M9eTOC AnalyzersSievers M5310 C TOC Analyzer. This turbo mode is well
suited to a wide range of reclaim water applications where quick process control feedback is
required. The Turbo feature provides an expanded range of 0.20–10,000 ppb. TOC, IC, and TC
measurements are updated every four seconds, assuring that even short-lived excursions
are captured.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Point-of-Service (POS) Printer
The Analyzer is designed to work with the following USB point-of-service (POS) printers. Each
is available as an optional accessory directly from GE Analytical Instruments:

STEP 2: COMPLETE THE IDENTIFICATION RECORDS
Complete the Identification Records information on page 4 by recording the Analyzer serial
number and the date of installation. The serial number is located on the rear outside panel of
Laboratory and Portable TOC Analyzers, and on the left outside panel of the On-Line TOC
Analyzer.
STEP 3: SELECT A LOCATION FOR THE ANALYZER
The enclosure for the On-Line TOC Analyzer is rated IP 45 to withstand the hazards of
industrial process environments. The Portable TOC Analyzer is rated (a WIP) IP 21 for
incidental exposure to water.
Select a location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid operating at
elevated temperatures greater than 40 °C, which can prevent proper operation. Also avoid
operating at temperatures lower than 10 °C, which can cause errors in the measurements.
Make sure that the back of the Analyzer is protected from water spray to ensure the electrical
and data connections remain dry.
In addition to these general instructions, refer to the sections that follow for information
pertaining to the specific model of your Analyzer.
Sievers On-Line TOC Analyzer
Sievers M9 or M9e On-Line TOC Analyzers are designed to be mounted on a wall or support
stand. When selecting the location, mount the Analyzer so that the display screen is
approximately at eye-level. For illustrations of required clearances, see Figures 15, 16, and 17.
Allow a minimum of 5 cm clearance between the back of the Analyzer and the wall for heat
dissipation. Plan for 30.5 cm of clearance on the sides, top, and bottom of the Analyzer for the
plumbing and electrical connections. This clearance provides for the proper circulation for
temperature and humidity control.
You will need to provide hardware for mounting the Analyzer on a wall or instrument rack, as
hardware should be selected based on site-specific circumstances. Choose mounting bolts
to support four times the weight of the unit2 [total = 65.68 kg (144.80 lb)].
2. 4 x 26.42 kg = 65.68 kg (4 x 35.2 lb = 144.80 lb)

STEP 5: INSTALL THE REAGENT CARTRIDGES
The oxidizer and acid reagents are shipped separately from GE Analytical Instruments in
specific packaging for safe transit. Carefully read the attached MSDS sheets prior to opening
the packaging. You will find two reagent cartridges inside the packaging, one clearly
identified as “OXIDIZER (15% ammonium persulfate and water” and one as “UN 1805
PHOSPORIC ACID SOLUTION.”
After you install these reagent cartridges, the RFID antenna obtains and tracks data from
each label attached to the Acid and Oxidizer reservoir cartridges, including: Reagent type
(Acid or Oxidizer), lot number, part number, initial and remaining volume, manufactured date
and expiration date. The Analyzer uses this information to automatically track the remaining
volume, based on the number of syringe extractions. For additional information, see “Radio
Frequency ID (RFID)” on page 57.
The following instructions are specific to the Analyzer model. Refer to the applicable section
for your instrument:
•To install the reagent cartridges—Laboratory and Portable TOC Analyzers
•To install the reagent cartridges—On-Line TOC Analyzer
Know These Safety Warnings
Hazardous reagents (ammonium persulfate and phosphoric
acid) are used in the Analyzer. Before installing a reagent, read
the corresponding Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for proper
handling precautions, and spill or leak procedures. The MSDS are
contained in the pouch located on the outside of the reagent
shipping box.
Installation of reagents and most Analyzer maintenance
requires access to the inside of the Analyzer. To avoid potentially
dangerous shock—BEFORE opening the Analyzer—first stop any
analysis, stop the operating system (using HALT SYSTEM button in
the Analyzer’s firmware), and then turn off power and
disconnect from the power supply.
To avoid exposure to the chemical reagents, wear acid-resistant
gloves and safety goggles.
Reagent containers are for single-use only. Do NOT refill. Any
refilling or reusing of reagent containers will void all Analyzer
and parts warranties, and nullify any performance claims.

How to Install Valco Tube Fittings
Evaluate where to place this section after determining which tubing the user will need to
install a Valco fitting, and how many section reference the tubing installation.
1. Locate the sipper, sample, or other tubing? from the Analyzer’s Accessories Kit? .
2. Slide the Valco fitting and the ferrule onto the sample tubing. Leave at least
several millimeters of tubing extend beyond the tip of the ferrule. Make sure the
orientation of nut to ferrule is as show in Figure on page 110Figure 35: Nut and
Ferrule Orientation
3. Push the tubing into the Sample Inlet port on the Analyzer until there is resistance,
and then hold the tubing in place.
4. Still holding the tubing in place, slide the ferrule and nut down the tubing into the
sample Inlet port and tighten the nut until it is finger-tight.
5. Use a 1/4" open-end wrench to then turn the nut 1/4 turn past finger-tight. Do not
over-tighten the fitting.
NOTE: It is only necessary to turn the nut 1/4 past finger-tight to
swage the nut on initial installation. During future operations, only
turn the nut 1/8 turn past finger-tight.

OVERVIEW
THIS CHAPTER IS NOT READY FOR REVIEW AT THIS TIME. Need to update with recent firmware
changes/research.
WIP notes only Add this info: to text in correct places:
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES FOR SECTIONS TO ADD
To sample using the iOS
With the Analyzer configured in an on-line configuration (see xxx), you can conveniently
switch between on-line sampling and discrete sampling using the iOS. You do NOT need to
change the configuration to analyze a standard with the iOS System. The Analyzer
automatically shuts off on-line water flow when it detects that the iOS door is closed and/or a
vial is inserted into the iOS.
The iOS is simple to use. Simply stop analysis, slide the iOS System door open to the left, wait
30 seconds for sample to drain from the iOS System, and then insert a 40-mL vial containing
sample? or the standard. Also, refer to xx for additional calibrating and operation safety x xx
when operating the iOS for the first time.
Additionally (one time procedure or each time?), after you establish water flow to the iOS
System, you should adjust the flow rate so that flow exiting the waste line is between 30 - 300
mL/min. The flow rate is controlled by a needle valve, which is adjusted by the screw on the
iOS. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease flow, and turn the screw counter-clockwise to
increase flow. How do you measure the flow rate? separate stand-alone flow meter?

Always stop analysis before opening the iOS System door to avoid generating erroneous
measurement data. If the flow sensor is On, opening the iOS System door while analysis is
taking place causes the flow sensor to activate and halt analysis. If the flow sensor is Off,
opening the iOS System door while analysis is taking place results in air being drawn into the
Analyzer.
Warning
The iOS System contains sharp needles designed to pierce the septa of sample vials. Do not
put fingers or inappropriate materials into the iOS System.

SAMPLING USING A SIPPER TUBE
The Analyzer Configured for Use with a Sipper Tube (Grab Mode)
The Vial Port
The vial port provides a convenient sample inlet for analyzing standards in 40-mL vials. You
do not need to change the sample figuration to analyze a standard in the vial port. Simply
stop analysis, slide the vial port door open, and insert the 40-mL vial containing the standard.
Always stop analysis before opening the vial port door to avoid generating erroneous
measurements. Opening the door while analysis is taking place results in air being drawn into
the Analyzer.
Warning
The vial port contains two sharp needles designed to pierce the septa of sample vials. Do not
put fingers or inappropriate materials into the vial port.
GRAB SAMPLE INSTALLATION — FROM A SAMPLING CONTAINER
Move to operations chapter
To run grab samples from a container, collect the sample using a sipper tube connected to
Analyzer’s Inlet port. If your Analyzer has an iOS system, you must bypass the iOS in the grab
sample setup process, as described in the following instruction.
To collect grab samples from a container
1. If your Analyzer does NOT have an iOS, go directly to step 4
2. Locate the 1/16" OD stainless steel tubing that runs from the iOS System to the
bulkhead fitting labeled Sample Inlet.

3. Use a 1/4" open-end wrench to loosen the Valco® fitting at the Sample Inlet port.
Carefully rotate the tubing away from the Analyzer so that tubing is clear of the
inlet.
4. Locate the sipper tube (1/16" Teflon tubing with Valco nut) that is provided in the
Accessories Kit.
5. Insert the Valco fitting into the Sample Inlet port, located on the left side of the
Analyzer.
6. Tighten the Valco fitting until it is finger-tight, and then tighten an additional 1/8
turn using a 1/4" open-end wrench.
7. Place the open end of the sipper tube into the sample container, making sure that
the end of the tubing is immersed in the sample.
8. Place parafilm over the container opening. Do NOT push the sipper tube through
the parafilm or it may clog the tube.

PHARMACOPOEIA OVERVIEW
Because pharmacopoeia TOC and conductivity (consider changing terminology) monographs
diverge, the Analyzer allows you to specify which pharmacopoeia monograph is applicable to
your environment. (You can also use the Analyzer without selecting a pharmacopoeia.) (Does
one of these apply as a default?).Pharmacopoeia monographs shape the criteria for
Conductivity limits and pass/fail results, as well as temperature and conductivity guidelines.
Pass/Fail Reporting
The TOC Analyzer will report a Pharmacopoeia “Pass” result, if all of the selected
pharmacopoeia tests pass identified criteria and limits. The TOC Analyzer will report a
Pharmacopoeia “Failure” result, if any of the selected tests fail. Conductivity and TOC tests
can be independently tested with the alarms, an alarm can be set for each of TOC Limit,
Cond Limit, or Limits. Limits will trigger if any of the TOC or conductivity tests fail. TOC Limit
only if any of the TOC tests fail, and Cond Limit only if any of the conductivity tests fail.
Pharmacopoeia Options
You can select any combination (or none) of the following Pharmacopoeia options:
USP WFI/PW: The Analyzer meets the test requirements for the United States
Pharmacopoeia (USP) monographs; USP<643> Total Organic Carbon and USP<645>
Conductivity. The water passes the USP<643> TOC test if its measured TOC (ru) is not more
than the Limit Response, (rs – rw). The water sample passes the Stage 1 conductivity test if
the measured conductivity is not greater than the table value (at the first temperature in
the chart that is not greater than the measured water temperature).

EP WFI/HPW: The Analyzer meets the test requirements of the following European
Pharmacopoeia (EP) monographs; EP (2.2.44) Total Organic Carbon in Water for
Pharmaceutical Use and the Conductivity Requirements of the EP monographs “Water for
Injections” (WFI) and “Water, Highly Purified” (HPW). The TOC test passes if the measured
TOC of the pharmaceutical water sample is not less than the lower of the Limit Response
or 500 ppbC (per the requirements of the EP WFI and HPW monographs). The Stage 1
conductivity test passes if the measured non-temperature compensated conductivity
value is not greater that the conductivity value in the table for WFI at the next lower
temperature (in the table), than the measured temperature of the water (Stage 1 test in the
WFI or HPW monographs).
CP WFI: The Analyzer meets the test requirements of the following Chinese
Pharmacopoeia (CP) monographs; CP TOC Measurement in Pharmaceutical Water-
Appendix VIII R for Water for Injection and CP Conductivity- Appendix VIII S for Water for
Injection. The TOC test passes if the sample of WFI has a measured TOC value not greater
than (rs – rw) or 0.50 g/L. The conductivity test passes Step 1 if the measured non-
temperature compensated conductivity is not greater than the table conductivity value at
the next lower temperature value in the table that is not greater than the measured
temperature.
IP WFI: The Analyzer meets the test requirements of the India Pharmacopoeia (IP)
monographs for Water for Injection: IP 2.4.30 Total Organic Carbon in Water and IP 2.4.9
Conductivity for Water for Injections in Bulk. The TOC test is passed if the measured TOC of
the sample (rt) is not greater than
(rs – rw) or not more than 0.5 mg/L. The Stage 1 conductivity test is passed if the non-
temperature corrected conductivity is not greater than the table value for WFI at the next
lowest temperature value in the table that is not greater than the measured water
temperature.
JP TOC: The Analyzer meets the test requirements of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP)
monographs; JP<2.59> Total Organic Carbon for Water for Injection and Purified Water.
The test passes if the measured Water for Injection or Purified Water sample TOC value is
not greater than 0.50 mg/L.
EP PW: The Analyzer meets the testing requirements of the following European
Pharmacopoeia (EP) monograph for Purified Water (PW); EP<2.2.44 Total Organic Carbon
in Water for Pharmaceutical Use and the Conductivity Requirements of the EP
monographs “Water, Purified”. The TOC test passes if the measured TOC of the
pharmaceutical water sample is not less than the lower of the Limit Response or 500 ppbC
(per the requirements of the EP PW monograph). The conductivity test passes if the
measured conductivity (not the temperature compensated conductivity) is not greater that
the value in the “Temperature and Conductivity requirements table” (in the EP PW
monograph) at the measured temperature of the water. For temperatures not listed in the
table, he maximal permitted conductivity is calculated by interpolation between the next
lower and next higher temperature data points in the table.
CP PW: The Analyzer meets the testing requirements for the following Chinese
Pharmacopoeia (CP) monographs; CP TOC Measurement in Pharmaceutical Water-

Appendix VIII R for Water for Injection and CP Conductivity- Appendix VIII S for Water for
Injection. The TOC test passes if the sample of WFI has a measured TOC value not greater
than (rs – rw) or 0.50 g/L. The conductivity test passes if the measured conductivity (not the
temperature compensated conductivity) is not greater that the value in the “Temperature
and Conductivity requirements table” in the CP Conductivity- Appendix VIII S (for purified
water) monograph at the measured temperature of the water. For temperatures not listed
in the table, he maximal permitted conductivity is calculated by linear interpolation
between the next lower and next higher temperature data points in the table.
IP PW: The Analyzer meets the testing requirements of the India Pharmacopoeia (IP)
monographs for Water for Injection: IP<2.4.30> Total Organic Carbon in Water and IP 2.4.9
and Conductivity IP<2.4.9> for Purified Water. The TOC test is passed if the measured TOC
of the sample (rt) is not greater than (rs – rw) or not more than 0.5 mg/L. The conductivity
test passes Step 1, if the measured non-temperature compensated conductivity is not
greater than the conductivity value in the table for Purified Water at the next lower
temperature value in the table, that is not greater than the measured temperature.
JP COND: The Analyzer meets the testing requirements of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia
(JP) Conductivity <2.51>. The test passes if the temperature corrected conductivity is not
more than 2.1 uS/cm.

Flushing Reagent Syringes
If the Analyzer has not been used for over 24 hours, the decomposition of persulfate can
produce oxygen bubbles in the syringe pump and the reagent addition lines. To prevent
bubbles from entering the sample stream and interfering in the TOC measurement, a reagent
flush is used to remove the bubbles and fill the syringe with fresh reagent. A reagent flush
also is recommended after installing new chemical reagents.
For the reagent flush, the Analyzer must be connected to a water supply. A 40-mL vial of
water, or on-line water, may be used for the reagent flush.
