Robotic Titrosampler "Light" (1T/1P)

Significance of Topic

Automated titration plays a critical role in analytical chemistry workflows by improving reproducibility, reducing manual handling errors and boosting sample throughput. The Robotic Titrosampler “Light” (1T/1P) model addresses medium-throughput requirements in quality control, research laboratories and industrial analytics where flexible automation and space efficiency are essential.

Objectives and Overview of the Document

This document defines the scope of delivery and optional accessories for the Robotic Titrosampler “Light” (order no. 2.855.0030). It aims to guide users in assembling a customized automated titration system by listing included components and a comprehensive range of add-on modules spanning pumps, stirrers, titration heads, software licenses and sample racks.

Methodology and Used Instrumentation

The Robotic Titrosampler “Light” integrates the following core instrumentation:

• Robotic Sample Processor XL with built-in membrane pump and single workstation
• Integrated Titrando module for precise titrant delivery and endpoint detection
• Touch Control interface and compatibility with tiamo™ or OMNIS titration software for method programming

Scope of delivery components include sample handling sleeves, waste and rinse containers, PTFE/FEP tubing, PVDF nipples, cable clips, USB communication cable, hex keys, spray nozzles and a safety shield. Optional instrumentation spans peristaltic or membrane pump units for aspirating titrated samples, magnetic and rod stirrers, level control modules, software licenses (tiamo™ light, full or multi-user; OMNIS stand-alone) and a variety of titration heads and sample racks to accommodate beakers from 75 mL to 250 mL.

Key Features and Discussion

• Modular expansion: Users can upgrade from the “Light” to the “Basic” configuration by adding sample racks and electrodes to handle higher sample volumes at minimal cost.
• Flexibility: Multiple stirrer and pump options allow adaptation to aqueous, solvent and suspension matrices.
• Software integration: Graphical method editors, database management and LIMS connectivity maximize traceability and compliance with regulatory guidelines.
• Space saving: The compact design of the Sample Processor XL occupies minimal bench space without compromising functionality.

Benefits and Practical Applications

• Enhanced throughput: Automation reduces hands-on time and accelerates routine titrations in QA/QC labs.
• Consistency: Precise dosing and controlled mixing improve method reproducibility.
• Versatility: Broad accessory compatibility supports acid-base, redox, Karl Fischer and complexometric titrations.
• Cost efficiency: Stepwise upgrade paths avoid large upfront investments and tailor capacity to evolving laboratory needs.

Future Trends and Opportunities for Use

Advances in digital connectivity, cloud-based data management and AI-driven method optimization will further streamline automated titration workflows. Integration with robotic sample preparation platforms and inline sensors promises fully unattended end-to-end analysis. Sustainability trends also favour the development of low-consumption pumps and recyclable sample carriers.

Conclusion

The Robotic Titrosampler “Light” (1T/1P) provides a balanced solution for laboratories seeking reliable automation for medium sample loads. Its modular design, range of accessories and software support enable tailored configurations that can evolve alongside analytical demands.
