Easy, Fast & Accurate Coulometric Titrations
This titrator from Orion makes coulometric titrations a routine measurement technique, giving the user reliable results with unmatched speed and accuracy.
The AF7LC coulometric titrator performs sample analyses in the 10 ppm moisture range routinely and can operate at 1 ppm with CV’s of 0.3%.
Easy-to-use
Orion coulometric titrators are designed to make moisture titrations simple and trouble-free. The use of the coulometric technique itself promotes simple, rapid and accurate moisture titrations. It is an absolute method, which eliminates the need for calibration of reagents. Instrument panel controls are easy to read, understand and use - with all operating procedures reduced to simple keypad entries.
Instrument set-up and titrations are simple to perform - just press the YES/NO keys or enter numeric variables in response to automatically generated questions on the 2 x 20 character liquid crystal display. Each entry is monitored, out-of-range entries are rejected and the acceptable range is displayed.
The ability to program and store up to three titration methods - eliminates the need to re-enter analysis parameters each time the instrument is turned on. These methods are retained in memory even when the instrument is disconnected from the power supply, and can be recalled at the touch of a key.
Titrations are fully automatic with continuous indication of their progress. The rate of titration and accumulated water analysed are shown on the display and are regularly updated. The moisture status in the vessel is continuously presented on a bar graph display.
The built-in GLPdocTM printer produces a complete record of results, on completion of the required number of tests, containing date, time, test parameters and a statistical analysis of the results. Suspect results are flagged and, if requested, can be deleted from the final statistical calculations. Interfaces directly with an Orion analytical balance or other compatible balances; making it possible to semi-automate the sample handling process, thus eliminating weighty entry errors.
Unique vessel design
Large sturdy glass vessels incorporate a virtually indestructible ion-permeable membrane between the anode and cathode chambers for free passage of electrical current while preventing reagents from contaminating one another. This membrane technology overcomes the problem of clogged ceramic discs while enabling the cathode chamber to accept larger volumes of reagent, eliminating the need for frequent refilling. The ion membrane material, because of its inherent flexibility, is easy to clean while remaining undamaged from the cleaning procedure.
Individual anode and cathode electrodes make electrode installation and positioning a simple task while also permitting easy maintenance.
The AF7LC vessel is compact and is specifically designed for repetitive sample analysis at low moisture concentrations. The use if ground glass joints completely eliminates moisture ingress, permitting the user to produce excellent CV’s when working at or near detection limits.
