At fast injection rates of representatively large sample volumes into a high-temperature combustion system classical TOC analyzers reach their limits.
But the patented VITA® Flow Management System of multi N/C® makes the IR absorption flow-independent by compensating flow fluctuations.Thus, the measurement signal is completely independent of the injection volume and speed. Easy Cal enables multi-point-calibration generated from one single standard solution. The method calibration remains valid, even if the injection volume for sample measurement was changed...
