Gas Supply N2 (99.998%), zero-grade air, or O2 (99.998%)

High Temperature Combustion Mode:

Operating Principle High Temperature (680°C) catalytic combustion

Measurement Range 100 ppb C - 30,000 ppm C (multiple calibration ranges or dilution

required)

Instrument Detection LImit (IDL) 50 ppb C

Sample Injection Volume 10uL - 0.8mL

Optional ATOC Software Network LAN/LIMS operation, data management, custom

reports, 21 CFR 11 compliance

Autosampler 88 position rotary autosampler designed to fit directly underneath Aurora

1030D analyzer

Certification CE, EMC: EN61326 / Safety: IEC 61010-11 2001

Power Supply Variable voltage, 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz, 950W

Dimensions - Aurora 1030D + 1088 Autosampler 26.75 in. H x 19.5 in. W x 23 in. D.

Weight - Aurora 1030D + 1088 Autosampler 34.5 kg (76 lbs.)



The government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items, to OI Analytical. This instrument is an upgrade of an existing Model 1030 Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer and will be used with many peripherals and methods from the old instrument. The 1030D's maximum injection volume in HTC mode is 10-fold greater than most other HTC systems, a critical application, without which the instrument would be unusable for isotopic measurements. In addition, the persulfate mode of the TOC is specifically designed to interface with an existing cavity ringdown spectrometer, a necessary capability for isotopic determinations.
