Safety Tip

As titration involves the use of chemicals, you’ll want to follow some basic safety procedures, such as wearing safety goggles, a lab coat, and gloves. Wash any spills on clothing or skin immediately with plenty of water and inform whoever is in charge of the lab. For basic titrators, you’ll want to lower the burette to a comfortable height when reading or filling it. You’ll also want to use a funnel to fill the burette, and do so slowly in order to avoid splashing or spills.
