This system is an exceptional offering, with all required software, manual, and autosampler option! Being only a 2013 model, this is an excellent way to cut costs.
Overview
A fully functional TOC-L can be used for a variety of applications, such as quality control, process control, and research for water treatment, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications. The instrument employs a unique 680 degrees Celsius combustion catalytic oxidation method developed by Shimadzu that results in total sample combustion, according to Shimadzu's TOC-L product page. The measurement range is in between 4 micrograms/L (ppb) and 30,000 mg/L (ppm).
Condition
This Shimadzu TOC-L CSN is in excellent cosmetic condition. There are no significant blemishes on the body, screen, buttons, or accessories. Shimadzu installed this instrument at a large US-based energy producer in May 2013. Based on the paper data logs, this product was used for monitoring coliform in water samples; these logs do not indicate if the instrument was used for other research or quality measures, but may indicate some background use for water quality testing. NLS recommends the end-user replace tubing and thoroughly flushing non-consumables prior to use.
Technical Evaluation
The technicians noted the internal cleanliness and phenomenal condition of the instrument. This standalone analyzer features a TFT LCD screen and keypad, with a USB port for data export. However, the TOC-L is paired with TOC Control software that records data, graphs points, and maintains reports. The software was loaded on a Dell Optiplex 780 PC with a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. The data can be sent directly to the PC software and on the hard drive the user will find pdf format operation manuals for guidance. NLS technicians contacted Shimadzu's technical support for instructions to replace the CMOS battery; after two years, the battery will give error signals which can be avoided with replacement and resetting the internal counter. This TOC-L has added options that include the B-type halogen scrubber, high salt combustion tub, and the cell switching valve.
The SSM-500A is rated for 30mg-1g carbon aqueous and sludge samples. The solid sample module was powered on and connected with the PC. Switching between modes on the TOC-L's screen simplifies unnecessary setting changes or restarting the instrument to load samples.
