Semi-Microtitration
Titration on a reduced scale without compromising accuracy
With modern demands placed on environmental conservation, chemical waste disposal can be a costly process. In addition to this, there is increasing pressure to reduce the cost per analysis. By reducing the scale of the titration, both of these goals can be achieved.

Description
In situations where sample size is limited, whether due to scarcity or due to the high value of the sample, it is desirable to perform titrations using mg or µL of sample. With the available resolution of modern analytical balances and pipettes, measuring an accurate sample size is no longer an issue. METTLER TOLEDO now offers the possibility of titrating these small samples using a semi-micro titration beaker, pH electrode and a 1mL burette. This small scale titration offers the following advantages:
- Only small sample size needed
- Lower titrant consumption saving reagent costs
- Less solvent required and therefore lower waste disposal demands
- Lower overall cost per analysis
For accurate, precise results there is no longer the need for a large 50mL burette, since modern titrator burettes have resolutions as low as half a microliter. Naturally, for best results it is necessary to use a suitable balance or micro-pipette and to ensure that the sample is homogeneous.
