2035 Process Analyzers: Systemy

The 2035 Process Analyzer for Potentiometric Titration and Ion-Selective Measurements performs analyses with dedicated electrodes and titrants. Additionally, this version of the 2035 Process Analyzer is also suitable for Ion-Selective Analysis using Metrohm high performance electrodes. This accurate standard addition technique is ideal for more difficult sample matrices.The potentiometric version of the analyzer offers the most accurate results of all measuring techniques available on the market. With far more than 1000 applications already available, titration is also one of the most used methods for analysis in almost any industry for hundreds of components varying from acid/base analysis to metal concentrations in plating baths.Titration is one of the most widespread absolute chemical methods in use today. The technique is straightforward with no need for calibration.Some titration options available for this configuration:Potentiometric titration; Colorimetric titration with Fiber Optic Technology; Moisture determination based on the Karl Fischer titration method;

The 2035 Process Analyzer for Photometric Measurements includes a compact photometer module which is stable over a large concentration range, and is thermostated with stirrer capabilities. This analyzer is offered with two options: a cuvette system or a fiber optic dipping probe. The cuvette system is compact in order to reduce reagent consumption, yet it offers a long optical path length for high sensitivity. The fiber optic immersion probe broadens our application range substantially by making the accurate measurement of high concentration samples simpler through the use of internal sample dilution steps and a smaller light path than the cuvette system.Photometric analysis is a common, widely-used technique which can determine ions such as ammonia, manganese, and iron in drinking water or even calcium and magnesium in brine solutions. Undesired sample matrix effects such as sample color or turbidity can be removed with differential measurements, taken before and after the addition of a color reagent.

The 2035 Process Analyzer for Thermometric Titration performs automated titrations with a fast-responding, highly sensitive temperature sensor. Instead of the electrochemical potential, the endpoint is determined by enthalpy, i.e., by change in temperature of the solution during the titration. Thermometric titration is by far the most robust titration method available on the market and is excellent for 24/7 online process applications, such as the monitoring of etching baths. No sensor calibration is necessary, and less cleaning steps are needed. Rapid analysis is possible with this technique; acid mixtures, e.g., can be analyzed in less than three minutes.Thermometric titration can be used for a wide variety of titration analyses and is well-suited to handle aggressive sample matrices because of the robust thermometric sensor. The sensor needs no maintenance because fouling and other undesired interactions are minimal, and there are no membrane or diaphragm problems as with other titration methods. Thermometric titration is a problem solver for difficult samples which cannot be titrated potentiometrically, and is also a preferred technique in situations when HF is present in samples.
