TitrIC – new possibilities in ion analysis through the unique combination of titration and ion chromatography
TitrIC fully enables the automatic analysis of drinking water. All ionic components are determined quickly, reliably and reproducibly. Results are presented as a single report or stored in the integral database.
TitrIC is the total solution for automatic completion of your workload. For example, the samples can be logged in by a barcode reader and placed on the sample rack. TitrIC then controls the whole procedure and works day or night – or even over the weekend. Intelligent control and thoroughly tested technology guarantee reliable analyses. Up to 100 samples can be determined without any manual intervention. The high degree of automation reduces costs and increases the precision of the measurements.
By using defined criteria, TitrIC is able to make logical decisions such as automatically diluting water samples. Calibration of the system also takes place automatically.
Particular attention has been given to keeping space requirements to a minimum. Synergies between titration, direct measurement and ion chromatography from Metrohm are also evident: all methods use the same liquid handling units with a common sample changer. This helps to save both costs and bench space – a rapid return on investment is guaranteed.
TitrIC – water analysis from a single source
The determination of ionic components in water samples involves four fields: direct measurement, ion chromatography, titration and voltammetry. Metrohm accepted the challenge of combining these methods in a single system in 1998, when the first TitrIC system was introduced. Rapid advances in instrumentation development have allowed Metrohm to present a new version of the extremely powerful TitrIC system, in which direct measurement, titration and ion chromatography are incorporated in a single analytical unit. Because the analytical problems solved by voltammetry are very specific, Metrohm offers this technique as a stand-alone solution.
TitrIC – custom-made analytical system
TitrIC can be adapted to suit any number of analytical requirements – the application determines the parameters of interest. This means that different methods and procedures can be freely combined. TitrIC is available in three different basic versions:
- TitrIC 1 covers the direct measurement of pH, conductivity and temperature, as well as the titrimetric determination of the p and m values. Calcium and magnesium are also determined titrimetrically. All anions are determined by ion chromatography.
- TitrIC 2 carries out the direct measurement of pH, conductivity and temperature, and also determines the p and m values. All cations, including calcium and magnesium, and all anions present in the sample are determined by two separate ion chromatographs.
- TitrIC 3 is the same as TitrIC 2, but has an additional feature: the covers of sealed sample vessels are automatically removed immediately before the measurement.
Extremely flexible TitrIC software is included in the range of standard equipment; this allows any titrations or direct measurements to be carried out as required. Great attention has also been given to flexibility in the ion chromatography field: in principle, any type of anion or cation determination can be carried out by TitrIC – which is why TitrIC is not only the system of choice for water analysis, but is also ideal for applications in food, electroplating or pharmaceutical industries.
