The analysis of acids and bases is a well-known basic task in analytical chemistry. With this fully automated system only the sample needs to be taken and weighed in by the user. ProcessLab does the rest autonomously.

For the determination of the acid or base content an automated Process Lab system is used. Liquid handling of the needed solvents is done using the buret and pumps which Process Lab provides. Sample identification is done with a barcode reader.

A certain amount of sample is weighed in and the result automatically transferred to tiamo. Depending on the type of sample, tiamo starts and performs an acid or base titration with the corresponding non-aqueous solvent.

Features/General information;

Acid and base determinations in one system, non-aqueous Barcode reader offers automatic method selection by using predefined barcodes

Balance integration makes operating easy and prevents typing errors

System can be used for content determination of any suitable material, e.g. raw material or finished products

Optional liquid level sensors monitor the reagent level and call for manual intervention when required

Additional terminals for the I/O controller allow to transmit or receive external signals, for example a result which is sent to a remote PCS (process control system). An incoming signal can be a density value from a density meter.

This system is very flexible and can be adapted very easily to any specific needs. If necessary an additional reagent cabinet is available and can be placed directly under ProcessLab. It has sufficient space for all reagents and makes ProcessLab even more comfortable.
