Potentiometric Entry Level Titrator AT-710B

Maximum performance and efficiency at minimum costs without making any compromises in terms of operator convenience: 45 years of experience in manufacturing potentiomeric titrators and a myriad of valuable hints from our customers enabled us

Product Description

Maximum performance and efficiency at minimum costs without making any compromises in terms of operator convenience:

45 years of experience in manufacturing potentiomeric titrators and a myriad of valuable hints from our customers enabled us to achieve this ambitious goal. The AT-710B titrator not only offers the technical specifications and all the features you would expect from a high end titrator, it provides at the same time an extremely simple user guidance, a new comfortable approach for method development and editing, easy data exchange and almost unlimited expansion possibilities.

But there is much more: The AT-710B can grow with your needs. With the CHA-700 Sample Changer the AT-710B titrator can easily be upgraded to the most cost-effective, compact and user friendly automated titration system available in the market. And by adding a MCU-710M colour touch screen control unit you can easily upgrade it to a multi channel titration system, capable of running up to 4 titrations simultaneously.

Convincing specifications
The built-in high resolution burette of the AT-710B titrator ensures precise dosing and highly reproducible results. The burette has a resolution of 20’000 steps. An optimized design of the valve reduces the danger of air bubble formation to a minimum and an optional temperature sensor avoids measuring errors caused by ambient temperature fluctuations. If required, the instrument can be equipped with a second built-in burette.

Flexibly configurable and expandable
The AT-710 can control one or two built-in and up to 8 external burettes. It is available with built-in preamplifiers for potentiometric, conductometric and photometric titrations.
Furthermore, the user interface of the titrator can upgaded to a AT-710S or AT-710M titrator by simply connecting the corresponding MCU control unit.

No training required
When automated with an CHA-700 Sample Changer, the AT-710B titrator offers the simplest operation one can imagine. No buttons to click or methods to select in order to run different types of measurements one after the other or automatically in a row.

Smooth method input and method transfer
The AT-710B titrator offers a comfortable way to edit methods – without requiring a touch screen on the instrument itself: The methods are developed and stored on an USB memory stick by means of a personal computer and can easily be installed on one or several AT-700B Titrators.

Versatile data export
The AT-710B titrator offers convenient possibilities for measurement data acquisition and storage whether or not the instrument is permanently connected to a personal computer. Titration results including the titration curves can conveniently be stored as pdf files on an USB flash drive (memory stick).

Now comes with an included flexible qwerty keyboard.

CHA-700 Sample Changer

Zero Touch Operation: Unprecedented ease of use

The CHA-700 Sample Changer combines the advantages of an automation system with a totally new operating philosophy, which brings the conventional ‘how many clicks are required per measurement’ debate to an abrupt end: Zero Touch Operation does not mean fewer clicks required per measurement – it means no click at all!

The CHA-700 is an automatic titration stand with seven positions: One position is reserved for a beaker to clean and store the electrode. Each of the other six positions can freely be assigned to a certain type of measurement. To start a measurement, the operator simply needs to put the sample into the corresponding position – no method to select, no task list to fill, no start button to click. The system performs the titrations exactly in the order in which the samples have been put onto the tray. During operation, already titrated samples can continuously be replaced by new ones. This saves valuable time, as the operator does not have to wait for a titration to finish in order to put a new sample. Even urgent samples can be titrated immediately without needing to touch any key, performing the following fully-intuitive procedure: The operator lifts the less urgent samples briefly up to change the order in which they will be processed. That’s it! As soon as all the samples are processed, the electrode returns to the reserved position and remains there.

CHA-700 Sample Changer

Smallest space requirements with optimal functionality

A fully fledged Zero Touch Operation titration system hardly occupies more bench space than a normal potentiometric titrator with it’s titration stand. It goes without saying that it is far more compact than any other automated titration system but there are three other important advantages compared to such systems:

  • There is no acceleration of a turntable which could cause the samples to spill over.
  • All the samples can easily be replaced at anytime, there is never a sample at the rear of the turntable which hardly can be reached.
  • Changing the order in which the samples are processed is an easy task: The samples only need to be lifted up in the desired order – no need to rearrange the order of the beakers on the tray.

Adaptable to your specific requirements

The standard version of the CHA-700 is designed to be used with 250 mL or 200 mL standard beakers or disposable cups. Thanks to optional adapters several or all positions can easily be modified to hold 100 mL beakers or 50 mL disposable cups.

The CHA-700 can control an external pump which allows to equip it with a powerful shower/drain system to thoroughly clean the electrode and the stirrer after titrations.

Tview6 Software

Tview5 Titration Software

Convenient handling of titration data

Titration results are frequently printed out on A4 printers and/or archived on personal computers.
In certain cases, however, it is not ideal or even impossible to have a personal computer or an A4 printer near to the measuring system. In such cases, the Tview6 software is the ideal solution:

  • The AT-610/AT-510 Automatic Potentiometric Titrators and the MKA-610/MKC-610 Karl Fischer Moisture Titrators can store the results of up to 300 titrations on an USB flash drive (memory stick, AT-610, MKA-610 and MKC-610 only) or a compact flash card. The results stored on the memory stick or compact flash card contain all the relevant data, such as calculated results, titration curves, operator names, sample and measuring parameters.
  • With the Tview6 software the results stored on the memory stick or compact flash card can be archived, evaluated, printed out exported to other PC programs like Microsoft Excel, Access or Word.

Tview6 offers numerous possibilities to archive, evaluate and print the titration data:

  • Based on the titration curve data the endpoints can be reevaluated: The Tview6 software allows to simulate the endpoint detection of titration curves obtained with an AT-610 titrator and is thus a valuable tool to develop and optimize titration methods for difficult applications.
  • If required, results can be recalculated based on modified calculation formulas, constants, sample sizes, etc.
  • The filters and statistical functions of Tview6 make it easy to keep an overview of the results and to analyse them statistically.
  • The curves of several titrations can be superimposed.
  • Results can be printed out in freely definable formats based on customizable Microsoft Word templates.
  • The results can be exported to database and spreadsheet programs.

Titration Units and External Burettes

APB-610 Automatic Piston Burette

Automatic Piston Burette APB-610

The Automatic Piston Burette APB-610 can be used either as stand alone precision burette to perform manual titrations or as an additional external burette for KEM titration systems based on an AT-510, AT-610 or AT-700 Titrator. The APB-610 allows to meter liquids with highest accuracy even under difficult circumstances:

  • The end of the feeding hose is equipped with a device which prevents diffusion.
  • The burette can be equipped with a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the liquid and to correct possible errors due to thermal expansion caused by variations of the surrounding temperature.
  • The glass body of the burette is shielded by a protection cover.
