Many laboratories are still using manual titration to perform their routine analysis. However, glass burets are delicate to handle, volumes are difficult to read, and exposure to hazardous liquids pose a threat to the user’s health. A short video describes and explains these and other reasons why laboratories should switch from manual to titration to using an automatic system with a digital buret and a potentiometric end point detection.

As titration is one of the oldest methods of chemical analysis, many standards still describe manual titration methods. As such older standard methods are being modernized for many applications, users should think about switching to automatic titration. Here are the key reasons described in the video:

  • The buret is filled and emptied at the touch of a button
  • Modern titration systems provide step by step guidance how to prepare the titration
  • Digital titrators provide for more reliable and reproducible endpoint evaluation
  • The complete analysis is documented according to GxP requirements
  • The user is protected from direct exposure to hazardous chemicals

TitrationTitration is an analytical technique for determining substance concentration in a solution. For titration consider a manual or automated system, volumetric or coulometric reagent addition and indication by a potentiometer, spectrometer, turbidometer or by the Karl Fischer method. Other features of titration to consider include burettes, reagents, concentration range, reaction time and autosamplers.AutomationAutomation in laboratories and manufacturing processes enhances efficiency, precision, and scalability by reducing the need for manual intervention. It plays a critical role in improving productivity, minimizing human error, and accelerating workflows in fields like diagnostics, drug development, and industrial testing. Automation technologies include robotic systems, automated liquid handlers, and process control systems that streamline complex tasks and ensure consistent, reproducible results.
