Industry news

Metrohm is pleased to announce a practical course focusing on best practices for analyzing nonalcoholic beverages by titration and ion chromatography. The course will take place from March 18 through 19, 2014 in the laboratories and conference facilities of the Metrohm Academy in Herisau, Switzerland.


The main focus of this practical course will be on analytical challenges in the QC lab of the beverage industry and solutions how to meet them. Participants will have plenty of opportunities to discuss any questions with the Metrohm application specialists as well as with peers from the bevarage industry. Topics the preliminary program are:

• pH measurement: hands-on trial of electrodes, tips and tricks, troubleshooting
• Titration: parameters such as acid content, Ca/Mg, vitamin C, and chloride
• Titration: sample preparation, automation, and liquid handling for higher sample throughput
• Ion chromatography: options & benefits of automation, troubleshooting, and practical tips


Presentations will be given by guest speakers from the beverage industry and application specialists from Metrohm.

Ion ChromatographyIon chromatography, also known as ion exchange chromatography, is a high-performance liquid chromatographic technique used for the separation and identification of ions or polar molecules in a sample, including proteins, nucleotides and amino acids. Equipment includes ion exchange columns, ion exclusion columns, ion chromatography systems, pumps, and detectors. Find the best ion chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.pH Meters and ElectrodesIon and pH meters are electrochemical equipment used to measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) or specific ion concentration of a solution. Other meters can also measure the conductivity or dissolved oxygen content of a solution. pH meters, specific ion meters, conductivity meters and dissolved oxygen meters can come as benchtop or portable equipment. A meter’s electrodes can be replaced with easy to clean electrodes or electrodes for difficult media. pH, ion and conductivity meters are typically used in life science research, pharmaceutical testing, food and beverage, environmental and water analysis. Find the best pH meters and electrodes in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.pH and Conductivity MetersIon and pH meters, used for electrochemical techniques and measurements, measure the concentration of specific ions using electrodes (probes) and a meter. Features of ph and ion meters to consider include temperature compensation, auto-calibration, adjustable resolution, measurable range and accuracy. Meters can be handheld, portable, benchtop and modular.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.Food and Beverage AnalyzersFood and Beverage Analyzers are commonly used to provide information about the chemical composition, structure and physical properties of food materials.Beverage AnalysisBeverage analysis involves testing and evaluating the composition, quality, and safety of drinks, from alcoholic beverages to soft drinks. Techniques like chromatography and spectroscopy are commonly used to analyze flavors, nutrients, contaminants, and additives.
