The requirement for more robust, user friendly TOC systems
that permit the analysis of both fresh and salt water samples
has led to the development of the Sercon TOC-IRMS interface.
Based around the Sercon Cryoprep which is used primarily
for the analysis of atmospheric gases (CO2, N2O, CH4, N2 and
O2) and the Sercon 20-22 IRMS it is now possible to use TOC
analysers that implement sample combustion rather than
the restrictive persulphate oxidation method.
