Measuring organic carbon content to ensure purity, safety, and process integrity.
A TOC sensor measures the total amount of organic carbon present in water or process liquids. TOC represents the combined concentration of all organic compounds and is a critical indicator of contamination, cleanliness, and process suitability—especially where trace purity matters.
TOC sensors operate by oxidizing organic carbon into carbon dioxide (CO₂) and measuring the resulting CO₂ concentration. The measured value is directly proportional to the organic carbon content of the sample, making TOC a direct and sensitive purity indicator.
This sensor belongs to the Process Quality Cluster , focusing on advanced organic purity control, contamination detection, cleaning validation, and regulatory compliance.
The measured value directly represents the concentration of total organic carbon in a liquid.
TOC trends indirectly indicate contamination events, CIP/SIP effectiveness, water system integrity, and risks to sensitive manufacturing and biological processes.
With Industrial IoT integration, TOC sensors enable continuous purity monitoring, automated contamination alerts, validation of cleaning processes, trend-based root cause analysis, and audit-ready compliance documentation.
The TOC Sensor is the ultimate purity sentinel. By directly measuring organic carbon at trace levels, it protects sensitive processes, validates cleanliness, and upholds the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory trust.
