Chemicals must meet strict purity requirements depending on their intended application, making trace-level analysis a critical step in quality control. This online webinar offers expert advice on assessing total organic carbon (TOC), nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine in both inorganic and organic fine chemicals.
In TOC/TN analysis of complex sample matrices, the choice of digestion method plays a critical role in influencing maintenance intervals and long-term operational costs.
The webinar highlights techniques such as high-efficiency UV oxidation and specialized combustion tubes designed to tackle matrix-related challenges in the analysis of hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid, electroplating bath solutions, lithium-ion battery salts, and brine.
It also covers the trace analysis of sulfur, nitrogen, and chlorine in ultrapure organic compounds like hydrocarbons, fatty acids, and alcohols. Due to their low elemental content and complex matrix composition, these samples require more than just highly sensitive detectors.
Reliable results depend on efficient sample handling, effective matrix separation, and smart calibration approaches. The webinar will also show how to achieve fast, accurate, and standards-compliant results—even for volatile, low-density liquids near the detection limit.
