Accurate titration is required for all industries. Manual titration – although common – has its limitations.
From wine to mining, titration in some shape or form is performed in practically every industry.
When we first learn about titration, it is usually in the form of a tall glass burette, and indicator and a slow drip, drip, drip to an endpoint. While this is a valuable learning process, it is hardly practical for industrial application and it is not accurate enough for high-end research.
Picking colour endpoints
As anyone with poor colour vision will tell you, many colour endpoints are difficult to pick, leading to variation in results between analysts.
Overshooting endpoints
Similarly, impatience for repetitive tests brings about high results when overshooting endpoints.
Benefits of automated titration
Automated titration takes out the need for determination by eye or overshooting endpoints due to too much haste. Analysis through potentiometric, temperature or colour based endpoints are automated to produce reproducible results.
Top 7 reasons why you should use automated titration
- No subjective endpoint determination
- No variation in results and interpretation
- No overshooting endpoints
- Better accuracy
- Better reproducibility
- Time saving
- Traceability
