CARBON ALGORITHM SELECTION BASED ON STANDARD CONDUCTIVITY

摘要

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for TOC analysis, specifically for calibrating and/or validating a TOC analysis sytem, wherein a plurality of algorithms are provided for computing a carbon concentration in a calibration standard based on a temperature/conductivity measurement of a derivative solution, and further wherein the selection of a particular algorithm from among those provided is based on a physical characteristic (such as conductivity) and/or a chemical characteristic (such as the pH) of the standard.
