Metrohm has announced that its latest potentiometric titrator, the Titrando, can remove traceability concerns over titration analysis in the laboratory.
Information about the titrant and burette is stored on a microchip that is hidden on the burette base plate.
All this information is then read by the Titrando when the burette is attached, so mistakes associated with the titrant are avoided.
The electrode used for the titration is the most important component of any titration system, and until now it has been this electrode only that has formed the last gap in traceability.
The 857 Titrando with Iconnect now closes this gap and is claimed to guarantee complete traceability of the analytical result to each component participating in the analysis.
Metrohm Iconnect and Itrode prevent the use of an incorrect electrode as well as the use of an electrode whose calibration period or working life has expired.
The 854 Iconnect is an electrode cable and measuring amplifier in one.
The Itrodes feature a built-in memory chip that allows the storage of important sensor data such as article and serial numbers, calibration data, calibration history, working life and calibration validity period.
All of the sensor data is read in automatically when the Itrode is connected to the 857 Titrando.
Mix-ups or editing errors are therefore eliminated.
