Expert tips for accurate and reliable Karl Fischer titrations
What is the proper procedure for carrying out a titer determination? Which reagents are suitable for water content determination, e.g., in ketones? What can you do if your sample is not soluble in Karl Fischer reagents? Users of Karl Fischer (KF) titration are faced with these and similar questions every day.
In a free webinar on December 3 from 3:00 through 4:00 p.m. CET, we will address these questions and present other useful tips and tricks. These will help you to properly handle and store your KF reagents, to avoid side reactions, and to improve the solubility of your sample. After the webinar there will be a Q&A session where you can ask the presenters any questions you may have about Karl Fischer titration.
