Optimize Your Karl Fischer Titration: Expert Insights for Enhanced Results
With Karl Fischer titration, you can quickly and accurately determine water content in a wide variety of samples. The accuracy of the results depends on a well-defined titration application process. Pre-titration and titer determination are essential for obtaining correct results. The main challenges arise from samples that do not dissolve or that undergo side reactions in standard solvents. Learn the measures you can take to release water from such samples and the preferred methods to use—volumetry or coulometry. Additionally, discover how digital data transfer enables efficient, fast, and secure data integration with your titrator software.
By attending this webinar, you will learn:
- The key steps in the Karl Fischer titration process
- The importance of accurate pre-titration and regular titer determination
- Effective methods for completely releasing water from your samples
- How digital data transfer can streamline and secure your daily data transfer and documentation
- Practical tips for overcoming daily challenges in Karl Fischer Titration
Who should attend:
This webinar will be especially valuable for individuals involved in developing Karl Fischer titration applications, performing titrations in QC labs or during in-process control, and those responsible for assessing and enhancing processes. This includes lab technicians, lab managers, and quality assurance managers across various segments.
Presenter: Bettina Straub-Jubb, (Global Product Manager Analytical Technologies, Merck)
