Applikon, a division of Metrohm, is offering the ADI 2040 online titration process analyser, which is able to process multiple sample streams.
The analyser produces a continuous stream of precise results, providing operators with a real-time insight into the chemical environs of their manufacturing processes.
The instrument measures endpoint titration (SET), inflection point (MET), dynamic endpoint (DET) and Karl Fischer titration automatic validation.
The analyser features an automatic validation option, which can be programmed to occur as part of the analysis cycle, such as one validation per 20 samples analysed or when a result is outside a predefined range.
The actual number of streams that can be processed by the ADI 2040 model is dependent on the type and number of analyses the machine is configured to perform.
For a simple titration, up to 40 streams can be analysed in sequence.
Titration analysers are corrosion resistant; the wet part is made of polystryene.
The electronics are housed in an airtight metal casing, which can be air purged.
The ADI 2040 can also be made explosion proof.
Titration analysers typically have uptimes of more than 99 per cent, according to the company.
This is because the analyser has a small number of moving parts; there is limited contact time with the sample and the reaction vessel is thoroughly rinsed after each analysis.
Generally, titration analysers only use a litre of reagent per month; this is because of their small reaction cell size and batch-wise operation.
