TitrIC - new possibilities in ion analysis through the unique combination of titration and ion chromatography TitrIC fully enables the automatic analysis of drinking water.

All ionic components are determined quickly, reliably and reproducibly.

Results are presented as a single report or stored in the integral database.

TitrIC is the total solution for automatic completion of your workload.

For example, the samples can be logged in by a barcode reader and placed on the sample rack.

TitrIC then controls the whole procedure and works day or night - or even over the weekend.

Intelligent control and thoroughly tested technology guarantee reliable analyses.

Up to 100 samples can be determined without any manual intervention.

The high degree of automation reduces costs and increases the precision of the measurements.

By using defined criteria, TitrIC is able to make logical decisions such as automatically diluting water samples.

Calibration of the system also takes place automatically.

Particular attention has been given to keeping space requirements to a minimum.

Synergies between titration, direct measurement and ion chromatography from Metrohm are also evident: All methods use the same liquid handling units with a common sample changer.

This helps to save both costs and bench space - a rapid return on investment is guaranteed.

TitrIC - custom-made analytical system TitrIC can be adapted to suit any number of analytical requirements, in which the application determines the parameters of interest.

This means that different methods and procedures can be freely combined.

Extremely flexible TitrIC software is included in the range of standard equipment; this allows any titrations or direct measurements to be carried out as required.

Great attention has also been given to flexibility in the ion chromatography field: In principle, any type of anion or cation determination can be carried out by TitrIC - which is why TitrIC is not only the system of choice for water analysis, but is also ideal for applications in food, electroplating or pharmaceutical industries.

Applications for water, waste water and environment Drinking water is the foodstuff par excellence.

Metrohm offers instruments for the following applications: * Nine typical titrimetric analyses: pH value and acid capacity (carbonate hardness), calcium and magnesium (Ca hardness, Mg hardness and total hardness), chloride, sulfate, sulfides and hydrogen sulfide, total and residual chlorine (free chlorine), permanganate index (oxidizability), CO2 content of carbonated water, oxygen content according to Winkler.

These applications are described in detail in our Food PAC.

Instruments: Metrohm Titrators * Ion chromatography (IC): Bromate, bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonium, potassium, sodium, strontium, etc Instruments: Metrohm Ion Chromatographs * Voltamperometry/polarography (VA): Aluminum, arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, iron, copper, manganese, mercury, zinc, etc Instruments: Metrohm Polarographs / voltammetric instruments * Electrical conductivity Instruments: Metrohm Conductometer * pH alue Instruments: Metrohm pH meter and pH/Ion meters.
