1.2 Operational Precautions
1.2
Operational Precautions
Take the following precautions when using the OCT-1 8-Port Sampler.
CAUTION
Hand tighten the various connectors to the 8-port valve. Use of a tool
may cause deformation and leakage in the valve. <Part damage
prevention>
Stop operation of the instrument when performing maintenance on any

of the drive components, such as connecting lines to the 8-port valve,
or connecting/ disconnecting lines on the sample injector. If these parts
are manipulated or if the lines are disconnected during operation, the
drive component could move, causing injury or discharge of liquid.
<Injury prevention, corrosion prevention>
To clean the OCT-1 8-Port Sampler, wipe the surface with a soft cloth
moistened with water. Do not use chemicals.
Repairs to the inside of the TOC-V can be dangerous. Contact your

Shimadzu representative to have a trained service engineer perform
any repairs.
Do not disassemble or modify the OCT-1 8-Port Sampler beyond the

scope of the maintenance procedures in this manual as safety may be
compromised.

Maintenance

Replacing the 8-Port Valve Rotor
1.4 Maintenance
Replacing the 8-Port Valve Rotor
The OCT-1 uses a fluororesin 8-port valve rotor. The valve rotor may become worn or
scratched after prolonged use due to the suspended particles in the samples. This wear
eventually causes leaks from the 8-port valve.
The following symptoms are associated with leaks from the 8-port valve and indicate
that it is necessary to replace the rotor.
Droplets of liquid around the 8-port valve (especially, around the upper shaft)
Decreased analysis reproducibility.
Presence of bubbles in the syringe of the TOC-V unit.
If the leakage is great, sample remaining in the tubing after the syringe has been filled
may flow back into the sample container. This phenomenon is most likely due to a
sample tubing, flange connection problem.
CAUTION
Switch off the power before replacing to the 8-port valve rotor.
Replacement Procedure
1.
Shut down the TOC-V unit and switch off the power.
Reference: Refer to Ending Analysis in the Operation chapter of the TOC-V User Manual for details on
shutting down the TOC-V unit.
2.
Remove the 4 screws at the top of the 8-Port Sampler, and take off the cover.
3.
Verify that the O mark on the 8-port valve cover is directed toward port No.1.
Note: If the O mark is not directed toward port No.1, the instrument was not
shut down properly. If this is the case, turn the TOC-V on again, and
shut it down properly.

2.1.1 TC Blank Check Measurement
2.1
CS Operation
This section describes measurement operations using the 8-Port Sampler. These
operations are not covered in the TOC-VCSH/CSN user manual. Operations that are not
described here are the same as those described for the autosampler (ASI-V). Refer to
the applicable item in the TOC-VCSH/CSN user manual for more information.
2.1.1
TC Blank Check Measurement

The measurement procedures described here differ from those using the ASI-V
autosampler. The water collection port is different than the one used with the ASI-V.
Refer to Section 3.1.17.2 TC Blank Check Analysis in the TOC-VCSH/CSN user
manual for further details.
Single 8-Port Sampler
Insert the TOC-V offline port sample tubing into a container with at least 200 mL of
water.
Two 8-Port Samplers
Insert the sample tubing from port No. 9 of 8-Port Sampler 2 into a container with at
least 200 mL of water.
2.1.2
8-Port Sampler Measurement

Unlike the autosampler, the 8-Port Sampler is not restricted to a fixed sample vial size.
The OCT-1 8-Port Sampler can accommodate sample containers of various sizes. The
procedures described here are related to sample preparation, sample loading and high
sensitivity measurement as they relate to the different sample containers. Refer to
Section 3.3 Analysis with the Autosampler in the TOC-VCSH/CSN user manual for
more information.
2.1.2.1
Sample Preparation
Type of Sampler Container
There are no restrictions on the type of sample containers that can be used with the
8-Port Sampler. It is only necessary that the containers be placed so the sample tubing
from the various ports can be inserted directly into the containers.
Note: Wash all sample containers with an appropriate laboratory detergent, and rinse
them thoroughly with water before using them for the first time.

2.1 CS Operation
2.1.2 8-Port Sampler Measurement
Loading the Sample

Although it is possible to perform measurement of a sample using the 8-Port Sampler,
while the container open, in the following situations, it is necessary to seal the sample
container.
1
When performing IC measurement
When performing POC measurement
When performing measurement of low concentration samples

(e.g., 10 mg/L)
When performing measurement of alkali samples of pH 7 or higher
When performing measurement of samples containing volatile organic

carbon compounds
When the number of samples is so great as to require a long

measurement time
When performing measurement of standard solutions
CS
Note: If the sample container openings are not sealed in the situations listed above,
measurement values may be influenced by such factors as absorption of
atmospheric CO2, contamination with carbon containing substances, and
evaporation of TOC constituents from the samples.
Sealing the Sample Containers

Sample containers may be sealed using commercial sealing films such as Parafilm. It is
also possible to pierce the lid of the container and insert the sample tubing into the
container through this opening.
Note: In either case, wash the container with a laboratory detergent, and rinse it
thoroughly with water before use.

Cut the Parafilm into approximately 25 x 25mm (1inch x 1inch) squares.
2.
Place a Parafilm square over the opening of the vial, and stretch it to seal it to
the edges of the vials.
3.
Press the edges down so that they wrap around the outside of the vial.

High Sensitivity Using the 8-Port Sampler

If samples such as purified water or ultra-pure water, having a TOC concentration of
100ppb or less, are to be measured using the 8-Port Sampler, it is necessary to consider
the following precautions associated with high sensitivity analysis. Refer to
Section 3.3.1.4 High Sensitivity Autosampler Analysis in the TOC-VCSH/CSN User
Manual for more information.
1
NPOC analysis is recommended because TOC (TC-IC) analysis tends

to have a greater variation in measured values than NPOC. This is
because IC often accounts for a significant portion of the TC, and the
errors in the two values are additive using TOC (TC-IC) analysis. This
affect significantly influences TOC analysis.
For measurement of standard solutions for creating calibration curves,

fill well-washed containers with standard solutions to about 5-10 mm
from the top of the container, and immediately seal each container.
When placing the container below the 8-Port Sampler, handle it
carefully to avoid the standard solution contacting the sealing surface.
Low-concentration standard solutions must be prepared each time they
are used.
To ensure that the peaks are stable for generating the calibration curve,
perform 4-5 injections using the same analysis parameters prior to
performing the calibration curve analysis. For example, to generate a
400ppb calibration curve, set 400ppb as the 1st standard solution
concentration, and enter 1 as the container number. Actually place a
0ppb solution in the container for port No. 1. The objective at this
point is not to generate a calibration curve, but to inject water using the
same injection volume that will be used to generate the calibration
curve. This not only stabilizes peaks but also thoroughly washes the
sampling needle with purified water.
CS
In the 2nd row of the settings screen and using the same calibration
curve number as above, set the analysis parameters for 0ppb and
400ppb. When sample measurement starts, the calibration curve to be
used will be created with the correct standard solutions.

Blank Check Measurement

The measurement procedures described here differ from those using the ASI-V
autosampler. The water collection port is different than the one used with the ASI-V.
For further details, refer to Section 3.2.4 TC Blank Check Analysis in the TOC-VWS
user manual.
Insert the TOC-V offline port sample tubing into a container with at least 200mL of
water.
Two 8-Port Samplers
Insert the sample tubing from port No. 9 of 8-Port Sampler 2 into a container with at
least 200mL of water.
2.2.2
8-Port Sampler Measurement

Unlike the autosampler, the 8-Port Sampler is not restricted to a fixed sample vial size.
The OCT-1 8-Port Sampler can accommodate sample containers of various sizes. The
procedures described here are related to sample preparation, sample loading and high
sensitivity measurement as they relate to the different sample containers. Refer to
Section 3.3 Analysis with the Autosampler in the TOC-VWS user manual for more
information.
2.2.2.1
Sample Preparation
Type of Sample Container
There are no restrictions on the type of sample containers that can be used with the
8-Port Sampler. It is only necessary that the containers be placed so the sample tubing
from the various ports can be inserted directly into the containers.
Note: Wash all sample containers with an appropriate laboratory detergent, and rinse
them thoroughly with water before using them for the first time.

Loading the Sample

Although it is possible to perform measurement of a sample using the 8-Port Sampler,
while the container open, in the following situations, it is necessary to seal the sample
container.
1
When performing IC measurement
When performing POC measurement
When performing measurement of low concentration samples

(e.g., 10mg/L)
When performing measurement of alkali samples of pH 7 or higher
When performing measurement of samples containing volatile organic

carbon compounds
When the number of samples is so great as to require a long

measurement time
When performing measurement of standard solutions
Note: If the sample container openings are not sealed, measurement values may be
influenced by such factors as absorption of atmospheric CO2, contamination
with carbon containing substances, evaporation of TOC constituents from the
samples, etc.
Sealing of Sample Containers
Sample containers may be sealed using commercial sealing films such as Parafilm. It is
also possible to pierce the lid of the container and insert the sample tubing into the
container through this opening.
Note: In either case, wash the container with a laboratory detergent, and rinse it
thoroughly with water before use.
