Should TOC Analyzers be Used in the Pharmaceutical Industry?
Date:2025-08-05 Browse: 111

In the pharmaceutical industry or drug dispensing, “water” is widely used. The quality of pharmaceutical water directly affects the quality of drugs. Additionally, the organic matter in pharmaceutical water usually comes from water sources or water supply systems (purification and transportation systems) and other places. At this point, testing the total amount of organic carbon in pharmaceutical water is an indirect control of the content of organic matter in the water. It can be seen from this that conducting TOC detection on various water sources is an important task in the pharmaceutical industry!

In fact, the total amount of carbon contained in suspended and dissolved organic matter in water refers to TOC. Additionally, we know that there are many types of organic matter in water. Besides carbon, they also include nitrogen, sulfur and other elements. Some elements still cannot be separated and detected. At this time, we can determine the water quality by testing “TOC”. TOC is a comprehensive indicator that represents the content of organic matter in water by the total amount of carbon. At this point, the “TOC Online Analyzer” will be used. Staff can use this instrument to detect the changes in TOC in water! For instance, to ensure the cleanliness of production equipment and guarantee the quality of drug production, it is very important to obtain cleaning certification! At this moment, a TOC analyzer can be used to detect the TOC content in the eluent, thereby determining whether the production equipment has been effectively cleaned.

Among the main products produced by Hangzhou Modi, there is a TOC-8000 – Total Organic Carbon Online analyzer. This instrument measures the TOC content in water samples through the non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) colorimetric method.
