Low level moisture analysis
The 756 KF Coulometer from Metrohm "leaves no wish unfulfilled" for analysts who wish to determine moisture levels down to 1 part per million, guaranteeing accurate and reproducible results
The 756 has a large clear backlit screen which not only provides clear presentation of parameters, but also shows graphically the course of the KF titration as it progresses This facilitates the integrity of each determination as well as providing valuable information for method development eg, differentiation between surface and water of crystallisation

The 756 has two RS232 interfaces enabling PC, printer or balance connections as well as the possibility to connect a bar code scanner or PC keyboard.
For samples where the moisture content is totally unknown a variable current generator comes into its own, generating large amounts of KF reagents for high moisture and small amounts for ug ranges.
The 756 also allows the programming of GLP functions such as results specification, min-max permissible weights, service and calibration dates.
The 756 can monitor the reagent consumed at all times thus it is possible to programme into the instrument to change the reagent when either a certain time has elapsed (eg, seven days) or more likely when a certain amount of water has been titrated (eg, 800mgs water).
By connecting a 700 Dosino dispenser, it is also possible to change this reagent automatically without the reaction cell being opened.
Different applications demand different parameters, to facilitate this the 756 can permanently store over 100 methods and may also be connected to a PC for additional memory. Request a free brochure from Metrohm UK ...
