Abstract:
According to some embodiments, the present invention may include, or take the form of, a total organic carbon analyzer, featuring an injector, a reactor, condensation components and two three-way valves. The injector may be configured to provide a sample. The reactor may be configured to vaporize the sample received. The condensation components may be configured to condense and trap the sample vaporized by the reactor. The two three-way valves may be arranged between the reactor and the condensation components and configured to allow flow to either bypass or pass through the reactor and the condensation components, while in the bypass mode, the sample being injected at an appropriate rate so as to allow the sample to condense at or near the same rate as the sample is being injected.
