TITRATION
SPEND LESS TIME PERFORMING TITRATIONS AND IMPROVE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY The Thermo Scientific Orion Star T910 pH automated titrator is modern, simplified and designed to make performing titrations easier, more reliable, more reproducible, and faster than manual titrations. The Orion Star T910 combines Thermo Scientific’s core electrochemistry technology with a state-ofthe-art reagent dispensing system to expand the number of ions and compounds that can be measured beyond direct electrode analysis. It offers dynamic process controls that adjust the titration to optimise analysis results. The system is paired with the premium Orion ROSS pH electrodes, which offer excellent stability, fast response, high accuracy and precision, long lifespan, and minimal long-term drift.
This compact titrator is designed to: • Offer easy-to-use navigation from setup to live titration analysis to data transfer • Showcase titrations, onscreen instructions and help menus on a large colour graphic touchscreen display • Create and save up to ten user-defined methods • Save up to 100 titration data sets with date/time stamp • Facilitate data transfer to printer, computer, or USB drive
Use the Orion Star T910 pH titrator for dedicated acid-base titrations including: • Titratable acidity of juices and wines • Acidity of food products • Alkalinity of waters • Acidity and alkalinity of consumer products • Total acid number (TAN) • Total base number (TBN)

New Metrohm Eco KF Titrator Biotechnology Division of Makes water content determination cheap, simple, safe, and reliable
Metrohm presents the Eco KF Titrator for the simple, safe and reliable determination of moisture content by volumetric Karl Fischer titration. This Swiss-made instrument is the ideal solution for QC laboratories who insist on premium quality, with an inclusive threeyear warranty at a highly competitive price. When it comes to methods for water content determination, Karl Fischer titration is the gold standard. It is a direct method specific for water, it is highly sensitive, and it is fast and simple to use. Hence, numerous standards, such as EN, ISO, ASTM, DIN and others, describe volumetric Karl Fischer titration for matrices from foodstuffs to petrochemicals to paints and others. The Eco KF Titrator makes water content determination affordable and simple.
Methods are pre-installed on the instrument; users simply select their method of choice and start it with a simple touch of the instrument’s screen. The titration itself is performed fully automatically, which means there is no risk of human error. Any risk of physical contact with the Karl Fischer reagents is prevented as the titration vessel is emptied and refilled at the push of a button by the Solvent Pump after each analysis. Working in compliance with GLP requirements is easy with the Eco KF Titrator. Comprehensive reports with user data, date and time and method used can be easily generated in the PDF format. Reports can either be saved on a USB stick or printed out on a printer connected to the instrument.
Mintek expands its capacity with a Metrohm OMNIS titrator
Under strain from a near-stagnant economy and ongoing challenges, South Africa’s mining sector is under immense pressure to develop new strategies for greater productivity. MINTEK, a global leader in mineral and metallurgical innovation, recently expanded its Biotechnology Division by investing in a Metrohm OMNIS titrator. The division offers a full range of services for the evaluation and commercial implementation of bioleaching processes and has developed a biological process for the treatment of acid-mine drainage. Accurate and
reliable chemical analysis plays a crucial role for the research and ongoing monitoring of the process, hence the decision to invest in the top-of-the-range Metrohm OMNIS titrator for the accurate and reliable determination of sulphide. METROHM SA (PTY) LTD
