Metrohm^® 870 Titrino plus^®—volumetric Karl Fischer titrator

Sometimes the smallest details can lead to the biggest successes. The right accessories for your titrator can complete the system, and Metrohm has a full line of accessories for the KF titrator. Here are some of our favorites—designed to improve safety in the lab and make your titrator more efficient.

803 Pump/Stirrer

The 803 Pump/Stirrer is useful for all titrations and especially for Karl Fischer titration. It has a built-in stirrer and an integrated membrane pump that can be used to aspirate or add solvent without opening the cell. That translates to increased lab safety and reduced conditioning times.

Small footprint printers

Limited bench space in your lab? Use the pint-sized, dot matrix custom printer with your Titrino for result and titration curve printouts. With a footprint of less than 5 x 7 inches, it can fit almost anywhere.

KF Homogenizer system

The particle size of some samples must be reduced before putting them in a KF cell. Samples can pick up moisture if you grind the sample before a KF analysis. Use the KF Homogenizer system to break up the sample directly in the cell, immediately before the analysis, for increased precision and accuracy. Also useful for samples, such as paints and oils, that aren’t readily miscible in the KF solvent.

Balances

When you connect a balance directly to your KF titrator, the weight is transferred with the touch of a button—eliminating potential errors due to manually entering the weight on the keypad. We recommend either Mettler Toledo^® or Sartorius^® analytical balances with a readability of at least 0.1 mg for volumetric Karl Fischer titration. See the full line of balances offered through Brinkmann.

Karl Fischer ovens

A KF oven is recommended for samples that cannot be introduced directly into the KF cell (e.g., solids, samples not miscible in KF solvent). The 832 KF Oven can be used to process individual samples, one at a time. The 774 Oven Sample Processor is the ideal solution for analysis of up to 35 samples.

Reagents

A Karl Fischer titrator is only as good as the reagents you use with it. For over 20 years, chemists have trusted the Hydranal^® line of Karl Fischer reagents. You can purchase the complete Hydranal line directly from Brinkmann.
