Mercury Analysis by Automated Photometric Titration

Mercury Analysis by Automated Photometric Titration

25 Aug 2015

This application note describes a method for the automated analysis of mercury content using photometric titration. The 907 Titrando from Metrohm was used, combined with the 815 Robotic USB Sample Processor XL.

815 Robotic USB Sample Processor XL

Metrohm AG

The highly efficient Robotic USB Sample Processor XL with two stations and four pump connections carries out complex laboratory automation tasks in combination with a Titrando. Together with the Swing Head the capacity is increased, for example, to 100 x 75 mL samples. The daisy-chain function of the MSB connections allows the direct control of Dosinos for «extended liquid handling» and/or of stirrers; including control cable. For rinsing the titration vessels and electrodes and for aspirating off the titrated solution up to four external peristaltic or membrane pumps can be connected. The methods are programmed with the handy Touch Control or PC-controlled - with the tiamo titration software. • Large sample volumes and large numbers of samples • Parallel operation • Automated liquid handling - pipetting • Karl Fischer automation • Automatic sample preparation • Two external titration stations

Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.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.
