TOC and Conductivity for USP and EP Water Systems
Content • Conductivity • TOC analysis • Validating a TOC analyzer • Introduction to the PAT700 combined TOC and Conductivity Analyzer
Dissociation and Conductivity • Conductivity measures ionic activity • Ionic compounds dissociate into ions, then re-associate back into the compound • E.g. Sodium Chloride (NaCl) made from Na+ and Cl- • Add energy and the Na+ and Cl- split, or dissociate • The ions then contribute to the conductivity of the water • Some substances dissociate more readily and contribute more strongly to conductivity • Different temperature compensation curves for different waters
+ - + - Conductivity Conductivity Meter Na+ Cl- Measurement Cell
Conductivity varies with temperature Conductivity = TOC Temperature
USP<645> Conductivity & Temperature • Conductivity meters will report different results depending on: • The compounds present in the water • The temperature compensation curve selected • Hence pharmacopoeias call for un-compensated, e.g. USP<645>:

Letter of the Law USP (‘till recently) “… share the objective of completely oxidizing the organic molecules in an aliquot of sample water to carbon dioxide…” EP states “… have in common the objective of completely oxidizing the organic molecules in the sample water to produce carbon dioxide…” Only Hach’s, End Point Detection method, strictly meets this requirement for online TOC analyzers

System Suitability Test Must Be Performed System Suitability is not calibration! System suitability is “the process of validating whether your system (i.e. TOC analyzer) is acceptable for providing useful analytical data without any bias.” This is typically done by: • Analyzing a material that is easy-to-oxidize (sucrose) • Analyzing a material that is difficult-to-oxidize (1,4 - benzoquinone) • Calculating the ratio of the responses
Calculation = Sucrose = 475 = >85%<115% Benzoquinone 485 System suitability calculation Sucrose analysis result = 475ppb TOC Benzoquinone analysis result = 485ppb TOC
Verifying conductivity – USP<645> • Verify meter accuracy (+/- 0.1mS) • Verify cell constant (+/-2%) • Verify temperature sensor (compensation)
Accuracy of meter Verifying conductivity – meter accuracy
Disconnect measurement cell Verifying conductivity – meter accuracy
Meter = Resistor +/-0.1mS Replace cell with NIST traceable resistor Verifying conductivity – meter accuracy
Area Distance Verifying conductivity – cell constant Function area and distance
Verifying conductivity – cell constant • Introduce certified conductivity standard • +/-2% of certified standard • Cell constant known within +/-2%

OASISTM Technology Saves time and delivers improved confidence in quality • All bottles for a test installed at once and tests automated • Information about each standard stored in RFID tag on the bottle • contents, concentration, certified value, lot number, expiration date • (Manual data entry possible for customer prepared standards) • Analyzer voids bottle following test • OASIS can be used for grab sample analysis
Non-Hach Standards Warning Message If the user selects “No”, then the test is cancelled and the user is placed back at the Run Standards selection screen. If the user selects “Yes”, then the user is prompted to enter all of the bottle information manually and the test is allowed to continue as if the bottle did not have an RFID tag at all.
