AUTO TITRATOR TITRA SMART

Titration is the fundamental chemical analysis procedure whereby concentration of chemical substance in solution is determined by reacting it with measured amount of another chemical. Auto titrator performs this analysis using motor driven dispenser, stirred reaction vessel and electrodes which sense the completion of reaction by measuring the potential difference between two electrodes. Making use of this instrument, it is possible to increase the accuracy, repeatability, reproducibility and minimize the errors in calculation and documentation.

The instrument provides following modes of Titrations :

- Incremental :

Incremental titration operates with user selectable fixed dose and fixed intervals till the end point is detected or volume limit is reached.

-Equilibrium :

This is universal and dynamic titration. In this titration the dose and time automatically get tuned to the titration trend with evaluation of end point.

The following Titrations are possible with TITRA

• Acid-base or aqueous titration
• Nonaqueous titration
• Redox titration
• Argentometric or Precipitation titration
• Complexometric titration or EDTA titration
• Voltametric titration / KF Titration
• Blank titration
• Back titration
• Silver Assay Titrations (As per BIS 2113 : 2002)

Applications

• Pharmaceuticals and Bio-Chemistry
• Environmental and Water Pollution
• Food and Beverages
• Dyes and Chemicals
• Pesticides and Fertilizers
• Petrochemicals, Plastics and Polymers
• Metallurgy and Electroplating
• Jewellery Industry

 

TITRA SMART is provided with two-point auto calibration and standardisation (zero offset). The instrument is capable of displaying pH and mV of the sample, with temperature compensation. TITRA SMART can accept a variety of electrodes to cater to various applications in different fields. The liquid path comprises Teflon tubings,Teflon lined valve and gas tight burette with Teflon plunger head. It creates chemically inert system for any sensitive analysis. The instrument is supplied with high speed vortex stirrer with digital speed indication. This specially designed stirrer provides excellent homogenous mixing of samples. An optional magnetic stirrer is also available.
