Solutions for all your analysis needs using Karl Fischer Titration or
Raman Spectroscopy

Separation Science, in collaboration with Metrohm, is pleased to present a series of videos demonstrating effective, safe and reliable solutions for environmental, forensic, clinical and pharma research using either Karl Fischer Titration or Raman Spectroscopy. Take a look at these short videos to see how Metrohm can improve efficiency in your lab.
 

Accurate and reproducible water content determination by Karl Fischer titration in liquid, solid, gaseous, and viscous samples
Water content determination is a standard application in many samples and Karl Fischer titration is the most widely used and accurate method. Metrohm offers solutions enabling the water content determination in almost any matrix ranging from solid to viscous to liquid and gaseous samples.

New OMNIS Karl Fischer titrator makes volumetric water determination safer and easier 
The new OMNIS Karl Fischer Titrator from Metrohm addresses the needs of users for ease of use and protection from solvents and reagents with a whole range of innovative features. With the OMNIS Karl Fischer Titrator the complete analysis is performed in a closed system. From filling the titration cell with solvent to adding the reagent and disposing of the sample after the titration, there is no exposure to hazardous liquids any more. Users do not even have to start the titration themselves any longer, as this is done automatically by the system.

Reliable walk-away automation for serial volumetric Karl Fischer titration
Automating volumetric titration in whole series of samples used to be a challenge: Firstly, there is the risk of ambient moisture compromising sample integrity, and secondly, there is the necessity to start the titration in due time for each sample. Both challenges required the attention and constant presence of the lab technician during the analysis. Not any longer, as with the OMNIS Sample Robot users may now analyze water content in up to 50 samples completely unattended. The OMNIS Sample Robot features Dis-Cover, a technology that covers the sample vials automatically with an air and dust proof lid protecting them from ambient moisture even for extended time periods. Users benefit from reliable, reproducible results.

TAN/TBN titration in petrochemical samples - walk away automation for up to 112 samples
Metrohm is pleased to present a fully automated solution for the determination of Total Acid Number (TAN) and Total Base Number (TBN) in up to 112 samples. This solution is based on the OMNIS Sample Robot and addresses the needs of QC laboratories in the petrochemical industry as well as contract laboratories looking for an efficient solution to cope with high sample loads at the lowest possible cost per sample. Maximum throughput on the OMNIS Sample Robot is achieved using the possibility to perform up to 4 titrations in parallel at 4 work stations saving up to 60% in time compared to titration at a single work station. The OMNIS Sample Robot can be expanded in three steps from size S to M to L, which accommodates up to 112 samples evenly distributed over seven racks.

Determine hazardous materials and narcotics from a safe distance
Mira DS is the new handheld material identification system from Metrohm. Mira DS enables first responders to quickly and safely identify hazardous materials and explosives at the touch of a screen. While providing ease of use and speed, Mira DS addresses the need for safety of drug task force officers, HazMat teams, and bomb technicians in particular. Drug task force officers, for example, may identify substances in glass bottles or plastic containers, even from a distance of up to 1.5 meters using the Standoff Sampling Attachment, or with no concern of proper focus using the Contact Ball Probe Sampling Attachment.

New handheld Raman system addresses the needs of first responders and military personnel for safety
A HazMat team responds to a call from a local police department investigating a stench emanating from a rundown building. A glance through the window reveals that the space is a clandestine lab littered with trash, dirty glassware, and suspicious chemicals. Before the investigation proceeds, first responders must qualify the nature of the threat to their safety. The requirement is met by Mira DS, the new handheld material identification from Metrohm. At the push of a button, Mira DS identifies hazardous materials, narcotics and the precursors, and explosives from a safe distance.
