Product Description
| Brand | Metrohm |
| Model | 860 |
| Capacity | 10 g to 10 mg Absolute Water |
| CAT No | 28600010 |
| Application | Titration |
The 860 KF Thermoprep is designed for thermal sample preparation in Karl Fischer titration. Numerous substances cannot be analysed by direct Karl Fischer titration as they are not soluble, react with the Karl Fischer reagent or release their water only very slowly or not until heated to high temperatures. Using tightly sealed sample vials, the sample is inserted in the oven. The samples can be subsequently analysed by any volumetric or coulometric KF titrator.
Precise Water Content AnalysisThe 860 KF Thermoprep is engineered for accurate and reliable determination of water content in a wide range of sample matrices. Ideal for laboratory use, its advanced heating and safety features ensure consistency and operator confidence during Karl Fischer titration preparation.
Intuitive Operation and Flexible ConfigurationEquipped with a digital LED display and microprocessor-based controls, the instrument allows users to flexibly set and monitor heating parameters. Both manual operations and automated sample changing streamline workflows, making it suitable for high-throughput environments.
Robust Design for Laboratory EnvironmentsWith a compact footprint and durable construction using high-grade materials, this model is optimized for laboratory safety and stability. Its compatibility with common laboratory power sources and robust safety measures make it a dependable choice for rigorous environments.
