2013 Guide to Purchasing a Titrator

While titration is a basic analytical method, titrators are specialized instruments that perform titrations with minimal operator intervention. They can thus minimize errors, improve throughput, and facilitate documentation. There are two major titrator types: potentiometric acid-based designs and Karl Fischer titrators.

Top 4 Signs That You Should Replace Your Titrator

	You’re doing manual titrations. Automatic titrators are more simple, accurate, and affordable than ever before.
	Burette issues, i.e. noisy, not dispensing titrant, leaking, piston does not move.
	The parts for your current unit are obsolete.
	Your operators can’t produce the same results repeatedly or each of your operators produce repeatable results but they are different between operators.

Top 6 Questions That You Should Ask When Buying a Titrator

	How precise is the titrant delivery system? Is the titrant delivery system certified for accuracy?
	Can additional titrants be used without having to purge burettes?
	What information is included in the titrator’s display and reports?
	Is the titrator limited to proprietary electrodes? What is the replacement cost for electrodes?
	Is the software field upgradeable?
	What is the service and repair policy? Is on-site support offered? If something goes wrong with the meter, can it be fixed locally? What is the general turn-around time for repair?
