ICP that includes DOC's?

[SamMule]

Can anyone suggest a good ICP that includes Dissolved Organic Carbon? I would really like to know where my tank is in that regard.

FM has with up grades. Doing my second with the upgrade tomorrow, have done 5 overall. Happy with results, however it’s the only company I have used.

I do not think there are any that do. There are a couple that have SAK254 which is correlated to DOC but if you want DOC Triton
DOC is it.

I do not think

I agree with this statement.

Oceamo has a specific organic test that gives many different organic levels. They do not provide a total doc test result, but do provide dozens of different organics.

Don’t they offer an absorbance at 254 nm that correlates with DOC?

Yes, their normal icp includes a 254 nm absorbance. I show it here for my tank. Some things will mess with how well that tracks with doc (such as ozone or foods with absorbing vitamins), but it may be useful if one wants a rough estimate of whether the tank has excessive organics.,
