| Capacity | 10 g to 10 mg Absolute Water |
| CAT No | MATi04 |
| Application | Titration |
MATi 4 is a fully automated system for coulometric KF titrations with high sample throughput. Up to 160 samples in 6 mL vials can be placed on the sample rack of the Sample Processor. The sample is pipetted into an external coulometric cell and then titrated there. The system is controlled with the OMNIS software.
Precision Moisture DeterminationThis titration system delivers highly accurate resultsmeasuring water content from as low as 10 g up to 200 mg H2O, making it ideal for a broad range of sample types, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food products. The resolution of 0.1 g H2O and reproducibility under 1% RSD provide significant confidence for moisture-sensitive analysis.
Automated and Easy-to-Use OperationDesigned with user efficiency in mind, the instrument integrates an automated sample changer and a large color touchscreen, streamlining workflows and reducing manual handling. The touchscreen interface and keypad allow for intuitive setup, operation, and monitoring, while data can be easily exported via internal memory or USB.
Integrated Safety and ComplianceThe titrator adheres to GLP/GMP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11, supporting regulated laboratory environments. Built-in safety mechanisms including overvoltage protection, auto-shutoff, and reagent leak sensors safeguard users during routine operation, ensuring laboratory safety standards are consistently met.
