The 874 Oven Sample Processor is used for automatic thermal sample preparation in Karl Fischer titration. The oven method is particularly suitable for samples that do not release their water until higher temperatures have been reached, for sparingly soluble samples, or those that react with the KF reagent.
Reliable and Precise Temperature RegulationThe 874 Oven Sample Processor employs PID temperature control, ensuring highly accurate and stable oven conditions (1C). Its forced air convection system uniformly distributes heat, making it ideal for sensitive thermometric water content determinations. This level of temperature consistency is critical for reproducible results in analytical applications such as Karl Fischer titration sample preparation.
Flexible Automation and Sample CapacityDesigned for seamless integration into automated laboratory workflows, the Metrohm 874 supports PC-controlled, semi-automatic, and fully-automatic operation modes. With capacity for up to 18 samples per run and compatibility with various sample rack configurations, labs can optimize throughput without compromising process integrity.
Compliance and Data IntegrityThe processor is fully compliant with GLP/GMP and CFR 21 Part 11, ensuring traceability and security for regulated environments. Complete data logging with export capability supports audit readiness and detailed process documentation, meeting the requirements of modern analytical labs in India.
FAQ's of Metrohm 874 Oven Sample Processor:
Q: How does the Metrohm 874 ensure safe operation during sample processing?
