TOC testing in solid samples requires acidification prior to analysis to remove inorganic carbon.
This acidification step is a manual process that causes a bottleneck in the laboratory workflow and is a cause of errors. The soli TOC cube from Elementar removes the acidification step by using a temperature ramping method giving streamlined sample preparation, increased safety, and improved method performance.
