Product news

OMNIS addresses the needs of small and large laboratories alike: The new titration platform is modular and can be scaled up module by module from a simple stand-alone titrator to a powerful robotic system performing 4 analyses simultaneously processing up to 175 samples completely unattended.

Safer working and full traceability of results

OMNIS features a new, patented Liquid Adapter preventing exposure to hazardous liquids when exchanging reagents. An RFID chip in the cap of the reagent bottle enables the new titration platform to identify and check the content of the bottle against the specifications of the method to be performed. OMNIS warns the user if the system is connected to the “wrong” reagent.

Results for each sample at a single glance

OMNIS features new, smart software: No matter how many different parameters the user needs to determine his samples and by which methods, the new titration platform collects the results for each sample and shows them in a single report.

  • FASTER – Analyze 175 samples on four workstations completely unattended
  • SAFER – Exchange reagents without exposure to chemicals
  • EASIER – Configure work systems intuitively by drag and drop
  • MORE EFFICIENT – Whichever parameters you determine and by whichever methods, get the results in a single report

OMNIS

Metrohm AG

OMNIS is the universal platform for wet chemical analysis - and beyond. It is modular by design and can be scaled to control potentiometric titrations, volumetric and coulometric Karl Fischer titrations, thermometric titrations, pH and conductivity measurements and – with the OMNIS NIR analyzer – also measurements by near-infrared spectroscopy.
