total organic carbon volatile organic carbon total carbon T H E D O H R M A N N » DC-50 ORGANIC ANALYZER makes all of these measurements accurately and rapidly. Based on proven, E P A approved* methods, it avoids interferences and undesirable pyrolysis reactions that historically have resulted in significant errors. • D I R E C T R E A D O U T : Four-digit presentation shows carbon content directly in mg/liter or ppm. iVo recorder needed! • D I R E C T M E A S U R E M E N T : A single sample injection gives either Organic Carbon or Total Carbon content directly, not by difference. • INDEPENDENT MEASUREMENT: Volatile Organics are determined separately from T o t a l Organics to aid in source identification. • RELIABLE M E A S U R E M E N T S : Determines important, lightweight volatiles such as low molecular weight alcohols and ketones, normally lost by acidification and sparging. • F A S T : S minutes per determination. • ACCURATE: Repeatability of ± 1 m g / liter or ± 2 % . • W I D E R A N G E : 1 to 2,000 mg/liter (ppm) without dilution. • P R I C E : $7,875, including start-up assistance and operator training.
