FORMACS HT-i
Direct injection analyzer
When your water
also carries particles.
FORMACS HT-i is designed for water with particles and suspensions. Its direct injection takes the sample into the combustion furnace to determine carbon and, with the right option, nitrogen.

Capabilities
A direct entry.
For more complex samples.
How the sample is introduced matters as much as the measurement. That is the difference from a system for cleaner water.
TC / TIC
carbon fractions
Know what your water contains
Total organic carbon is obtained from the total and inorganic fractions. The method defines the preparation.
TN
optional detection
Carbon and nitrogen
Add the ND25 detector when you need to complement the analysis with total nitrogen.
Handles particles up to 450 µm, or up to 800 µm with the optional wide-bore needle. The concentration and behavior of the suspension must also be evaluated.

01Sample introductionDesigned for water with particles.
The integrated autosampler holds 80 × 8 ml vials. Septumless injection takes the sample directly into the furnace; stirring options help keep the suspension homogeneous. The standard needle handles particles up to 450 µm, and the wide-bore option up to 800 µm.
02MeasurementCarbon by combustion.
The sample is analyzed by high-temperature catalytic combustion and NDIR detection. Nitrogen requires the corresponding option.
03ResultsInformation for your lab.
HTAccess lets you define conditions per sample, follow the carbon and nitrogen signals and add priority samples during the run. It also exports results to Excel or LIMS. The image shows a calibration view.
Applications
Water with particles.
More specific questions.
Tell us about your sample: what solids it contains, whether they settle and what you need to determine. That information helps us evaluate the instrument against a real case, not just a data sheet.
- TC — Total carbon
- IC — Inorganic carbon
- TOC — Total organic carbon
- NPOC — Non-purgeable organic carbon
- TN — Total nitrogen (optional)
- Nitrate + nitrite — With NN reactor and nitrogen detector
- TKN — Calculated by difference, with TN + NN configuration
These are some of the available parameters. Check compatibility with your sample type and analytical method.
Frequently asked questions
Before you choose
your FORMACS HT-i.
FORMACS family video. The image shows HT-i with an add-on nitrogen module; the configuration is defined by application.
How is it different from the FORMACS HT?
Its direct injection and wide-bore needle are especially designed for water with particles and suspensions. HT offers another way to organize water analysis, with an optional autosampler.
Can it analyze any suspension?
The brochure specifies particles up to 450 µm, or up to 800 µm with the optional wide-bore needle. Beyond size, we review their concentration and how they stay in suspension to choose the right configuration.
Is nitrogen included as standard?
Nitrogen determination requires the ND25 detector. With the NN reactor it can also determine nitrate + nitrite and calculate TKN by difference: total nitrogen minus nitrate + nitrite.
What information should I send you to get started?
The type of water, the determinations, the expected concentrations and how many samples you receive. If you have a reference method, include it too.
Can it also analyze solids?
Yes, with the PRIMACS MCS add-on module for total, inorganic and organic carbon in solid materials. That extension is evaluated separately from the configuration for liquids.
