Potentiometric Titration
The Titrando supports the titration modes DET (Dynamic Equivalence point Titration), MET (Monotonic Equivalence point Titration) and SET (titration to one or two preset endpoints). This covers all potentiometric titrations.
Karl Fischer titration with the Titrando
The Titrando has an additional Karl Fischer mode. Its polished control algorithm and the increased volume resolution of our intelligent exchange and Dosing Units guarantee high-precision results.
Ion Meter
With the measuring mode MEAS not only pH, potential and temperature can be measured; the direct determination of the concentration with ion-sensitive electrodes is also possible.
STAT Titration
The determination of enzyme activity (lipase, trypsin, etc.) or the release kinetics of antacid tablets requires a titrator that rapidly achieves a given pH value and then keeps it constant for a long time. The Titrando controller has been optimized to solve this problem and is among the best on the market. It can also be used to determine the kinetics of acid-base or redox reactions.
Tandem Dosing
In order that there is no dosing break when the buret is being refilled during the titration a second buret immediately carries on dosing. In this way rapid reactions with a high reagent consumption can be followed in real time. Tandem dosing is also available for simple and monitored dosing.
Monitored Dosing
In the synthesis lab the problems are different from those encountered in titrations. In this case the aim is to keep a given pH value constant or to carry out multiple dosing under exactly defined conditions. This involves adding a certain volume of solution in a given time. In addition to controlled dosing, the parameters pH (or potential) and temperature are continuously recorded. In this way the synthesis process is documented without any gaps.
Comprehensive Liquid Handling
Basic daily laboratory operations such as pipetting, transferring, dosing, dispensing and diluting become child's play thanks to the new liquid handling functions of the Titrando. No matter whether you connect the Dosino directly to the Titrando or carry out the operations with a USB Sample Processor, both systems guarantee the highest accuracy and precision throughout the whole range from 10 µL to 100 mL, i.e. across four orders of magnitude.
Measuring Input
The Titrando is fitted with a newly developed measuring interface. This consists of one high-impedance and one polarized measuring input, a separate reference input and an input for a Pt 1000 or NTC temperature sensor. The resolution of the inputs is 0.1 mV or 0.001 pH. Up to two galvanically separated measuring interfaces can be installed.
MSB Connection
The new Metrohm Serial Bus (MSB) has been developed for controlling peripheral devices. With the four built-in MSBs up to 4 Dosinos or Dosimats, 4 magnetic or rod stirrers and 4 Remote Boxes for automation can be controlled. This means that the Titrando is the most modular and flexible titration system on the market. Plug and play functionality saves having to configure peripheral devices manually. Just plug it in - the Titrando automatically recognizes the device that has been connected.
USB Connection
Two USB – ports are available for communication with balances and printers. This opens up the world of USB-capable color printers for printing out reports and other USB-capable devices. Laboratory balances can be connected via an RS-232 converter.
Dosing à la carte
Titration is really just intelligent dosing. With the Titrando dosing is carried out with Exchange Units. One of them is attached to the Titrando, which can control additional Dosimats with further Exchange Units. Dosing from the Exchange Unit is carried out with the uniquely high resolution of 20000 steps per cylinder volume. It is also intelligent, as it is equipped with a datachip containing all the information about the reagent and Dosing Unit that is required for the titration. These are available for the Titrando. Each Dosing Unit has its own serial and cylinder numbers and is supplied with an individual certificate.
Operation
You can choose how to operate your Titrando system. The Touch Control is a decidedly ergonomic and modern operating element. You can hold it in your hand, put it on the bench or mount it on the wall.
The Titrando is naturally PC-compatible. With the PC-Control software the Titrando is controlled by the mouse. The appearance and operation are practically identical to Touch Control. Methods and determinations are 100% compatible.
Apart from the PC-Control software, the new tiamo™ titration software is available. In addition to the standard functions for controlling a Titrando, tiamo™ offers functions that could previously only be dreamed about. For example, the user can make use of a client-server database or a Titrando can work with two titration cells simultaneously – real parallel titration.
Automation without limits
Increasing numbers of samples, time-consuming sample preparation steps and unattended overnight operation quickly justify the use of a sample changer. The Titrando has the necessary intelligence for controlling sample changers. No matter whether large or small sample capacities, one or two work stations, measuring out the sample, sample preparation, liquid handling, rinsing and calibrating the electrodes – the new USB Sample Processors offer a high degree of automation for low investment costs.
