Real-World Titration Optimization: Advanced Techniques for Improved Results
Automatic titration plays a crucial role in ensuring precise and consistent results in various industry and research sectors, directly impacting the quality and safety of products we use daily. Despite the automation of the titration process itself, many manual steps still require an analyst's full-time attention. By optimizing titration procedures and using advanced instruments and accessories, it is possible to automate auxiliary tasks such as pipetting, diluting, and adding reagents. This optimization also enables the system to make decisions, such as whether to proceed with an analysis or take specific actions based on the results.
In this webinar, Monica Laurel, Analytical Manager at Dow Chemical, will share success stories of titration methodology optimization carried out by her and her team across various Dow Chemical units during her 20-year career. Eduardo Simões, Product Specialist for Titration at Metrohm USA, will demonstrate how automated systems can systematically reduce human error, ensure compliance with laboratory safety regulations, and enhance the accuracy and reproducibility of results.
Don't miss the live Q&A at the end, where Monica and Eduardo will answer all your questions.
