To investigate matrix influences, a potassium The relative standard deviation over all
hydrogen phthalate solution was measurements was 3.4%. The following
subsequently added to the 18.5% graph shows the progression of the TOC
hydrochloric acid solution to increase the values of the hydrochloric acid injections.
TOC by 5 ppm (Figure 3 and Table 1).

Fig.3: Results of original and spiked hydrochloric Blank values and standards (10 ppm) were
solution alternately measured between the individual
measurements.
Figure 3 and Table 1 show the results of the
individual measurements of the hydrochloric
acid as well as the measurements of the
spiked hydrochloric acid.

■ Long-term stability
To investigate the long-term stability of the
method, the 37% hydrochloric acid solution
was again diluted to a ratio of 1:2 with water
and injected 76 times (150 µL).
