BioTector Data Analysis for Troubleshooting

April 2010
 INTRODUCTION

The procedures described below should be used during BioTector

Data Analysis for troubleshooting purposes.

These procedures applies to BioTector TOC analysers with

identification numbers (serial numbers) starting with BS4A 1.00
and above (e.g. 1.06, 2.03 etc.).

BioTector TOC analysers with serial numbers starting with 95, 97,
99 and BS4 may contain the data in a slightly different format.
Therefore different procedures may be required.

These procedures is prepared assuming that the user has some

level of Microsoft Excel skills (elementary or intermediate level).
 DATA DOWNLOAD FROM BIOTECTOR
Confirm that an MMC/SD card is inserted in the card slot on the main board
(motherboard).
Go to Maintenance, Data Output menu and confirm that the OUTPUT DEVICE
setting is MMC/SD CARD.

 DOWNLOADING ALL DATA FROM BIOTECTOR
BioTector data can be send to any device when BioTector is running.
In the same Maintenance, Data Output menu, select SEND ALL DATA to download
BioTector data into the MMC/SD card.

The data downloaded into the SD card will be in text (.txt) format and will
automatically be named as ALLDAT.txt inside the MMC/SD card.
 WHAT IS BIOTECTOR ALL DATA?
WHAT DOES BIOTECTOR ALL DATA CONSIST OF?
BioTector ALL DATA, is the data, which gives all system specific
information.
The ALL DATA consists of system specific diagnostics, system
specific configuration, system faults & warnings and reaction
result archive.
The information available inside the ALL DATA download is in the
following order:
1. DIAGNOSTICS
2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
3. FAULT ARCHIVE
4. REACTION ARCHIVE
 WHAT DOES BIOTECTOR ALL DATA CONTAIN?

1. DIAGNOSTICS contains system site specific calibration

curves (TIC, TOC, etc.), Zero and Span Calibration
History, Reaction CO2 Data from the last analysis,
System Fault Status and System Message Archive.
2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION contains system factory
specific calibration curves (TIC, TOC, etc.) and system
configuration settings.
3. FAULT ARCHIVE contains system faults, warnings and
notifications (up to 99 faults/warnings).
4. REACTION ARCHIVE contains system reaction data
recorded with their corresponding time and date (up to
9999 reaction data).
 BioTector Diagnostic Download

The information in the BioTectors archive Reaction archive, Fault

archive and Diagnostics, can be downloaded to the SD card and
transferred to a PC.
The format is a Text file.

The Reaction archive stores the last 9999 reactions.

The Fault archive stores the last 99 faults.

The Diagnostic archive stores diagnostic information held in the

BioTector.
Basic Reaction Archive download, in Standard mode.

This downloads Time, Date, Stream/Range, TIC and TOC data.

This can also show Zero Calibrations ZC, span calibrations, SC, and more, see below.

Hint: always look at the fault archive at the same time, to see if there are any related
faults in the system.

CO2z (CO2 analyzer zero point).

At the start of each reaction, the CO2 zero is recorded.

Is this stable?
For the BioTector G2 CO2 analyzer, typically each reading will be within 3-5 ppm of
the last reading.
For the older GD10 CO2 analyzer, this could vary by 25-50 ppm.

Is the result within +/- 0.5% of full scale? If not, them the lens may have to be
cleaned.
Is the result close to or over 250ppm? Then confirm that there is no CO2 in the
oxygen supply.

TICmgu (TIC un-calibrated), TICmgc (calibrated), CO2p (height of

the CO2 peak).

Is the TICmgu within +/- 25% of the TICmgc? Typically we find that the un-calibrated TIC
is close to the calibrated TIC and note that there is normally no zero offset from the
TIC reading.

Note that the simple reaction of TIC and acid in the reactor confirms:
The sample is being injected into the reactor.
The acid for the TIC is being injected into the reactor.
The circulation pump is probably running (not as easy to deduce in the MCR reactor).
The CO2 analyzer is reading.
The MFC has a gas flow.

TOCmgu (TOC un-calibrated), TOCmgc (calibrated), CO2p (height of

the CO2 peak).

The comparison between TOCmgu and TOCmgc is not as easy here, due to the zero
offset from the base.
However, confirm that a zero calibration was run recently (ZC reaction), then you can
do a rough calculation by subtracting the zero offset from the TOCmgu reading.

For a good TOC reading:

The base oxidation phase has to be effective - pH ~14, ozone generator operating,
circulation pump circulating the liquid.
The TOC phase has to be effective pH ~0, manganese catalyst in the acid, ozone
generator operating for first half of the phase, circulation pump circulating the liquid.
Note that if you have no manganese catalyst in the acid, you result will be down ~33%.

SMPL PUMP: Diagnostic data from the sample pump. The same information
is available for the reagent (acid and base) pumps.

1). Operating mode, 0= time mode, 1= pulse mode. The pump has a magnetic sensor, if this is
working correctly, the mode should be 1. If the sensor fails, the pump switches to a backup
time based mode. Note that the pump could also be faulty / stopped.
2). Number of pulses during last operation, for example injection.
3). Time (milliseconds) for the above operation note that this will change depending on the
BioTectors range.
4). Time for the last pulse operation. For WMM60 pumps, this is typically 500-400 ms. For SR25
pumps (reagent) this is typically 700-600ms. If it is slower than this, the pump may be old.
5). Error counter. This counts up to 6 before logging a fault. It should always be 0, if not there
may be an intermittent fault on the system.

18:43:42 05/10/2009 TOC-ZC -536.2 of full scale of the appropriate calibration.
18:43:42 04/10/2009 TOC-ZC -578.2

SPAN ADJUST

18:43:42 06/10/2009 TOC-SC 1.04 adjust is large and negative. The BioTector will still
18:43:42 04/10/2009 TOC-SC 1.52 operate with a large zero adjust, but the accuracy will be
effected.

The Span Adjust factor should generally be close to 1.0.

+/- 15% could be accounted for in a sample pump tube
change, anything outside this should be investigated.
However if you see a Span Adjust factor in the order of
1.5, then it is likely that the user has no Manganese
catalyst in the acid.
