Claim 12:
13. A method for moistening a binder in a TOC analyzer, the method comprising:
injecting and vaporizing and/or oxidizing a sample in the high-temperature furnace;
condensing water vapor resulting from the vaporization and/or oxidation of the sample in a condensation unit as a condensate;
discharging the condensate into the moistening unit;
moistening the carrier gas using the condensate in the moistening unit; and
moistening the binder using the moistened carrier gas in a processing unit configured to remove carbon dioxide gas from the carrier gas before the oxidation of the sample, wherein the processing unit includes the binder, which is selected for binding the carbon dioxide gas from the carrier gas,
wherein the processing unit is further configured to moisten the binder using water vapor contained in the carrier gas to a defined water content.
