Fully automated processes
Like the FUSION, the TORCH is also equipped with an automatic calibration program, which is a great relief for the operator. For multi-point calibrations, the calibration standards are produced by the device itself from a stock solution. The stock solution, as well as the samples to be measured, are placed in an automatic sample feeder. This automatic sample feeder is integrated into the system to save space and is arranged in such a way that subsequent samples can also be placed without interrupting the sequence run. The sample plate has 75 positions for 40 ml vials (samples) and four positions for 125 ml bottles (stock solutions). In addition to automatic calibration, the operating program also includes a dilution function, for example, which is carried out automatically when the measured sample is above the detection range. The components for sample preparation and TOC analysis are clearly visible on the front of the devices so that the analysis can be observed during the process. The employees who operate the system find this very convenient. The TOC Torch fully complies with the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 and can be used without restrictions in the pharmaceutical industry that requires FDA approval. Comprehensive validation documents for carrying out IQ/OQ/PQ are available, as are documentation and instructions for cleaning validation.
