Titrets® simplify titration
tests just as CHEMets® and Vacu-vials® simplify
colorimetric tests.
Each Titret® contains
a carefully measured quantity of titrant sealed under vacuum. The
sealed tip is fitted with a miniature valve that is used to control
the flow of sample into the ampoule
as the analyst performs what is known as a "reverse titration."
Sample
is drawn into the ampoule in small increments (with mixing) while
the analyst watches for the color change which
signals the end-point of the titration. When that change
occurs, the ampoule is placed in an upright position and the
test result is read opposite the location of the liquid level,
using a scale printed on the side of the tube.
The
entire process requires only a minute or two and avoids all the
equipment hassle and clean-up associated with ordinary titrations.
