Reagent water is used in all aspects of liquid chromatography (LC)
technology, from preparation of mobile phase to preparation of standards,
blanks, and samples. Reagent water is the most widely used analytical
solvent, yet it is the least characterized, especially in total organic carbon
(TOC) content. TOC adversely effects performance of LC methods and
hence, reagent water quality is a major issue. Organics initially present in
tap water will be reduced efficiently to low parts-per-billion concentrations
by combining several technologies embedded in a water purification
system. Monitoring the TOC concentrations gives chromatographers added
confidence in their results.
