Product news

METTLER TOLEDO, a global manufacturer and marketer of precision instruments for use in laboratory, industrial and food retailing applications, announced its new Plug and Play titration sensors, ensuring more precise measurement for manufacturers and end-users of mineral oils and derived products.

The exact determination of TAN or TBN is crucial for manufacturers and end-users. The Plug and Play works in concert with Excellence titrators and Rondo automation solutions to fulfill global oil standards.

The Plug and Play sensor chip immediately recognizes connection with Excellence titrators, ensuring smooth transfer of relevant data. These monitoring functions guarantee that the sensor is in optimal condition for demanding non-aqueous titrations.

The DGi116-Solvent's large round glass bulb provides fast and sensitive pH response. Its sliding glass sleeve promotes quick signal equilibration and is easy to clean. The gold shield for the inner glass half cell provides optimal electrical and static shielding for significant noise reduction.

The DMi148-SC is ideal to determine chloride and, after simple sulfidization of the silver ring, is optimal for the titration of mercaptans in petrochemical products. The pH glass reference eliminates diaphragm clogging and electrolyte refilling. New acid-base-titrations applications are now possible using the silver ring as reference.

The Rondo sample charger automates the complete workflow, composed of dissolution of the oil sample, titration, and cleaning and condition of the sensor. Each sample is analyzed in the same manner, significantly increasing result precision and integrity. Daily titration analyses can be started with one click and run fully unattended, enabling substantial efficiency gains.

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.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.

Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples.

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.
