Controls Data export/ Data printout display import NDIR...
multi N/C 2100S (duo, pharma) Function and design The CO or NO concentration is detected several times every second. An integral over time is calculated from this signal sequence. The integral is proportional to the concen- tration of the carbon or nitrogen in the measurement solution. Afterwards, the calcula- tion of the carbon or nitrogen content in the sample is performed via a previously deter- mined calibration function.
Function and design multi N/C 2100S (duo, pharma) 3.4.4 NPOC analysis NPOC: Non-purgeable Organic Carbon During the NPOC analysis, the total non-purgeable organic carbon content of a sample is detected. The sample is acidified to pH <2 outside of the analyzer with acid (HCl (2 mol/l)). The generated CO is purged externally, e.g., in the autosampler.
multi N/C 2100S (duo, pharma) Function and design Catalysts As an oxygen carrier, the catalyst supports combustion of the samples. Solids that are catalytically active in a temperature range of 700 to 950 °C can be used as catalysts. The platinum catalyst can be used universally over the entire working range for carbon and nitrogen determination.
Function and design multi N/C 2100S (duo, pharma) Take the blank value of the preparation water into account during single point calibra- tion. 3.6.2 Daily factor Calibration with a standard solution can be checked and corrected via the daily factor. The software multiplies all subsequent measurement results with this factor.
multi N/C 2100S (duo, pharma) Function and design – c The parameters appear in the TIC and TC analysis channels in the method. The TC and TIC parameters can be calibrated simultaneously. The use of mixed standard solutions such as carbonate/hydrogen carbonate and potassium hydrogen phtalate or sucrose is recommended for this.
Function and design multi N/C 2100S (duo, pharma) Limit of detection The detection limit of the calibration specifies the lowest concentration for which a veri- fication is possible with a given probability. Limit of determination The determination limit of the calibration specifies the lowest concentration that can be differentiated quantitatively from the zero point with a given probability.
multi N/C 2100S (duo, pharma) Function and design Diluent blank value If the sample is diluted, the blank value for the diluent is of interest. This value can be determined separately or entered manually in the software. The software takes the dilu- ent blank value into account when calculating the concentration of diluted samples.
Function and design multi N/C 2100S (duo, pharma) The eluate blank value is not taken into account when carrying out a calibration. The calibration is carried out with normal standard solutions in which only the preparation water blank value is taken into account. If samples are measured with the so-called eluate method, the software automatically subtracts the integral of the blank value from the integral of the sample measurement.
