What is the purpose of titration in the laboratory?
Titrations are performed in the laboratory to determine the concentration of a specific substance in a sample, enabling quality control, research, and analysis.
Are titrators easy to use?
Yes, modern titrators are designed to be user-friendly and offer automated features, making them easy to use even for beginners.
Can titrators handle viscous samples?
Yes, there are titrators specifically designed to handle viscous samples by using specialized probes and dispensing mechanisms.
How accurate are titrators?
Titrators provide high accuracy and precision, allowing for reliable and repeatable results.
Do titrators require regular calibration?
Yes, titrators should be calibrated regularly using standard solutions to maintain accuracy and ensure reliable measurements.
Can titrators perform multiple titrations simultaneously?
Some advanced titrators offer the capability to perform multiple titrations simultaneously, increasing efficiency and productivity.
Are titrators suitable for both acid and base titrations?
Yes, titrators can be used for both acid and base titrations by selecting appropriate electrodes or indicators based on the reaction being performed.
How does a titrator work?
A titrator works by adding a controlled amount of reagent from a burette to a sample until a reaction is complete. The endpoint is detected using indicators, electrodes, or other sensors.
