Impact of Human Error in Karl Fischer Titration

Karl Fischer (KF) titration is the primary technique for moisture analysis in many industries.

Although the technique is well-defined, sample preparation and injection are greatly impacted by human error. Even with robust SOPs, slight differences in sample handling by analysts can deliver troubling inconsistencies in results.

Attend this webinar to hear Doug Clark share tips on how you can reduce the impact of human error and improve the accuracy and repeatability of your Karl Fischer results. Doug is an expert with over 30 years of experience in Karl Fischer titration. Our webinar session will conclude with a live question and answer forum moderated by Kerri-Ann Blake, Product Specialist for Titration at Metrohm. This session will answer your questions and present the latest technologies to improve the accuracy of your KF results.

Key Learning Objectives

• Learn sample handling techniques to improve KF titration results

• Receive tips for improving KF titration accuracy with proper reagent selection

• Understand how 3rd party devices can be added to titration systems to improve workflow and remove human error

Who Should Attend

• Analysts performing KF titration who are interested in identifying how human error might be skewing their results

• Lab managers looking to increase accuracy by learning simple tips they can share with their lab staff

• Anyone interested in learning how auxiliary devices, such as an oven, can be integrated into KF titration systems to increase accuracy and repeatability
