In chemical production and refining the quality control of products and raw materials is often performed using titrations. In the daily laboratory routine many tasks and responsibilities need to be handled. Complicated work
steps are not welcome.
Manually performed titrations require great operator skill, and automation of titration methods is difficult and expensive. For either approach a large amount of chemical waste is produced, and are prone to many sources of error.
By contrast Refractometry is suitable for a wide range of base chemical concentration determination applications, and offers many advantages:
- Faster testing in approx. 10 seconds
- Lower reagent consumption
- Less chemical waste
- No scope for operator errors
- Smaller sample size
- Reduced maintenance time and cost
The key differences between Titration and Refractometry can be shown below:
