How to Improve Your Titration Results – Optimizing Performance and Troubleshooting

In most laboratories, the age of manual titrations is over. Good so: Modern, digital autotitrators support users with various features that help reduce errors and optimize titration results.

However, even routine users are sometimes struggling with the basics, e.g., which kind of electrode to choose for which titration, which titration mode to select for which matrix, or how to make sure results are properly evaluated by the device.

In this presentation, we focus on how to get the basics of titration right so you can always trust your results:

• How to select the right hardware for your titration (electrode, burette size, stirrer)

• How to handle your hardware properly (this is critical!)

• How to choose the correct settings and parameters on your autotitrator, depending on your matrix and method

• How endpoints are evaluated correctly and how to optimize endpoint evaluation

• Troubleshooting: What to do in case you get incorrect results

This presentation is intended for all users of potentiometric titrators, chemists developing titration applications, laboratory managers – simply everyone who is interested in modern titration.
