Nicotine Determination in E-Liquids

24 Apr 2019

In this application note, Metrohm presents an affordable and reliable method to determine the nicotine content in e-liquids and their nicotine starting material to help ensure the quality of these products. Non-aqueous acid base titration is a more affordable alternative to the traditional gas or liquid chromatography used for nicotine determination.

869 Compact Sample Changer

Metrohm AG

The 869 Compact Sample Changer allows rapid and very easy automation of small sample series. With a total of 12 positions, a variety of titrations can be carried out fully automatically with the electrodes being cleaned or conditioned between determinations. The large and clearly arranged display keeps you updated on the status of the sample series. Urgent samples can be preferentially analyzed at any time. Laboratory space is both scarce and expensive – the footprint of the 869 Compact Sample Changer is similar to that of an analytical balance. The advantages of the 869 Compact Sample Changer at a glance: • Economical automation • Space-saving; 11 sample positions • Different method templates • Easy operation

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.Quality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes.
