The Sievers 860 — Affordable, High Performance
The Sievers 860 Laboratory Total
Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer
from GE Analytical Instruments was
designed specifically for pharmaceutical applications. Based on the
proven technology used in the bestselling Sievers 900 Laboratory
model, the new Sievers 860 provides excellent analytical performance at an affordable price. It
offers a streamlined feature set
designed to meet general pharmaceutical water testing requirements.
Like other Sievers TOC analyzers,
the Sievers 860 is easy to set up,
operate and maintain, and requires
no special operator training. To
keep cost of ownership low, the Sievers 860 needs no
internal reagents.
The innovative DataPlus software makes the Sievers
860 more than an analyzer. Featuring an intuitive PCbased interface, the software lets you easily manage
the data sample points in your water system and comply with global TOC monitoring requirements, such as
the US, European, Chinese, Indian,
and Japanese Pharmacopeias
(USP, EP, ChP, IP, and JP).
Manufactured by the General
Electric Company (GE), Sievers TOC
Analyzers bring a strong tradition of
innovation, quality, and reliability.
When regulatory compliance and
public safety is critical, partnering
with an established, trusted manufacturer is essential to control
risks. Sievers is the leading pharmaceutical TOC analyzer brand,
and more than 10,000 Sievers TOC
Analyzers have been installed
throughout the world.
Applications
The Sievers 860 TOC Analyzer was designed for general
pharmaceutical water testing, including Water for
Injection (WFI) and Purified Water (PW). It has a linear
range of 0.3 ppb to 1.5 ppm, and offers a more robust
alternative to the direct conductivity method.
Sievers 860 Highlights
Proven Sievers Technology — The Sievers 860 is based
on the industry-leading Sievers 900 Laboratory TOC
Analyzer. It uses the Sievers Membrane Conductometric
TOC technology that provides unsurpassed analytical
performance and reliability.
Regulatory Compliance — The Sievers 860 complies with
the IP, USP, EP ChP, JP, and other major global pharmacopeia requirements.
Affordability —The Sievers 860’s streamlined feature set
was carefully designed to reduce costs, but still offer high
performance for select pharmaceutical applications.
One-Touch Operation — The Sievers 860 can operate
with or without a PC. Using the Analyzer keypad, standard
TOC measurements can typically be run with just a single
push of a button.
Best-in-Class Software — The Sievers 860 has an intuitive
PC-based interface for easy analyzer operation, data
management, document creation, and pharmaceutical
regulatory compliance. The DataPlus software gives
operators new insight into water system performance.
DataPlus lets you monitor each sampling point, chart
trends, and quickly identify changes in water quality.
Low Maintenance — The Sievers 860 provides one-year
calibration stability and needs only a few hours of annual
preventive maintenance.
Reliable Company and Brand — Established in 1878, GE
is known for continuous innovation and high quality. GE’s
Sievers brand brings industry-leading TOC analysis technology to the global pharmaceutical market . GE’s skilled
service engineers and distributor network in India are
ready to address customer questions and service needs.
Sievers Membrane Conductometric
TOC Technology
The Sievers 860 uses the Sievers Membrane
Conductometric Detection method, which has proven to
be an extremely reliable technique for measuring TOC. It
uses a gas-permeable membrane that selectively passes only the CO2produced from the oxidation of organics.
By preventing compounds such as acids, bases, and
halogenated compounds from interfering with the measurement of CO2from oxidation, the Membrane
Conductometric Method delivers unmatched sensitivity,
selectivity, stability, accuracy, and precision. This technique also can tolerate higher conductivity and remove
inorganic carbon more effectively than TOC analyzers
that use the direct conductometric technology.
• Set up sampling protocols in just minutes.
• Create trending charts for a single sample point for
internal quality control and troubleshooting.
• Export data as .csv or .xls files, and print reports and
trending charts in pdf format.
• Track consumables usage and conduct routine
maintenance easily.
• Run up to four Sievers TOC analyzers from one PC via
an Ethernet connection.
Firmware Upgrades
Firmware can be updated easily using a USB key. You
can take advantage of the latest features and optimize
performance without changing hardware.
Options and Accessories
DataPlus Software
The Sievers 860 can operate standalone or with a PC.
When using a PC, the innovative, easy-to-use
DataPlus* software allows users to operate the Sievers
860, manage and analyze water sample data, and
comply with pharmaceutical water testing regulations.
The most robust laboratory TOC data management
tool available, DataPlus lets you:
DataGuard Software
Sievers DataGuard software for the Sievers 860 offers
comprehensive support for compliance with the FDA’s
requirements for control of electronic records and electronic signature. DataGuard provides an administratively controlled user access system, complete audit
trail functionality, and electronic signature management for compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.

GE Autosampler RT12
The GE Autosampler is a highly-automated, compact
accessory for optimizing laboratory TOC measurement
and is designed for use with the Sievers 860. The GE
Autosampler RT12 is designed to increase productivity
and enhance ease of use. Offering the highest degree
of reliability, the RT12 requires little maintenance or
adjustment. Key features and benefits include:
Single-line connection and operation via DataPlus
With only one cable, the GE Autosampler RT12 can
connect to both the Sievers 860 TOC analyzer and the
power supply. Using a computer and the DataPlus software you can operate the Autosampler easily.
High sampling capacity and simultaneous
in-vial sparging
The GE Autosampler RT12 can handle up to 12 40-mL
vials. Because of its rotary design, it is easy to set up
the sampling sequence according to the vial position in
the rack. The RT12 enables overnight calibration and
verification to ensure the Sievers 860 is ready to go the
next day.
The GE Autosampler RT12 has the same sipper needle
design as the Sievers 860，so it can conduct in-vial
sparging before sampling. When IC is high—especially
when it is involatile IC—acidification is needed.
Sparging effectively reduces the inorganic carbon and
enhances measurement accuracy.
Compact, space-saving size
The RT12’s slim 23.1-cm wide profile requires minimal
bench space. When operated side-by-side with the
21.5-cm wide Sievers 860 Laboratory Analyzer, the two
units occupy just 46.6 cm of horizontal space. The RT12
only requires three connections—a sample inlet tube, a
gas liquid waste outlet tube, and a power cable to the
Sievers 860—keeping the lab bench neat and clean.
Sievers Certified Standards and TOC Vials
GE Analytical Instruments offers Sievers Certified
Reference Materials, including calibration and verification standards, for the Sievers 860, as well as reliable
and economical 40-mL TOC vials.
