Pumpsfrom KNF Flodos are being used by Schott Instruments, based in Mainz, Germany, in the development of new analytical instruments, such as viscometers and equipment for titration.

Wolfgang Korinski, Development Manager at Schott Instruments, explained: "I am responsible for ensuring that all development projects are going well from start to finish. Some of our instruments need a vacuum and a few years ago we chose membrane pumps from KNF Flodos for this because they are good quality and are Teflon-coated so can handle the harsh liquids we sometimes need to use. They run all day long and are very easy to use."

"For one instrument in particular we needed a special input to control the pump and KNF Flodos was able to change the pump specifically for this application. I can directly contact the development service at KNF Flodos myself and this is very important for me."

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.ViscometersViscometers are used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. Types of viscometer include rotational, vibrational and falling piston viscometers. Options for viscometers include modular, portable, benchtop and temperature compensation and density measurement features.
