Gone are the days when people had to worry about whether a Karl Fischer coulometric or volumetric titrator was the appropriate solution for their applications – worries about the correct sample size and tedious reagent
Gone are the days when people had to worry about whether a Karl Fischer coulometric or volumetric titrator was the appropriate solution for their applications – worries about the correct sample size and tedious reagent factor determinations with water standards are now things of the past.
The MKH-710 ushers in a new era of Karl Fischer Titration: It is the first Karl Fischer Titrator which can do both, volumetric and coulometric Karl Fischer titrations. The MKH-710 seamlessly combines both methods, adapting the titration procedure perfectly to the water content and nature of the sample being measured.
Coulometer? Volumeter? Hybrid!
The Hybrid Karl Fischer Titrator not only performs both, volumetric and coulometric Karl Fischer titrations: Depending on the water content of the sample, the hybrid titrator automatically applies the most appropriate procedure to perform the titration. This ensures maximum accuracy within the shortest possible measuring time.
Karl Fischer factor measurement – a matter of a keystroke
No water standards to inject, no weighing errors, less work: The instrument determines the factor of the Karl Fischer reagent by coulometric backtitration at the click of a button.
No need to worry about the correct sample size
No matter whether a sample contains 10 μg or 500 mg of water: The MKH-710 automatically applies the most accurate and quickest procedure to measure it.
Easy operation, trouble-free maintenance
A large capacity, easy to open titration cell with a large sample inlet and a generator electrode with replaceable membrane ensure easy operation and maintenance.

Hybrid Karl Fischer Titrations:
Highest speed and accuracy over a wide water content range
The MKH-710 not only performs both, coulometric or volumetric titrations, it can even combine the two methods in a way, which ensures highest accuracy and short analysis times: In the so called Hybrid Titration (patent pending) the MKH-700 automatically detects the amount of moisture in the sample and behaves accordingly:
If the initial moisture content is high, the titrator runs both, coulometric and volumetric titrations in parallel until the moisture content is below a certain level. Once the moisture content is below a certain level, the addition of KF reagent is stopped and the titration is finished coulometrically.
If the initial moisture level is low, the whole titration is performed coulometrically.
The ultimate all-rounder for Karl Fischer moisture determinations
Whatever the nature of sample to be measured, the MKH-710 always applies the fastest and most accurate type of Karl Fischer titration to determine its moisture content:
Coulometric, for very low water contents.
Hybrid for higher water contents.
If required it is of course possible to select the titration method to apply (coulometric or volumetric) manually.
The MKH-710 is capable of performing bromine number and index determinations according to ASTM D2710, JIS K2605 and K2435. Such determinations can be performed volumetrically and coulometrically.
For samples which cannot be titrated directly (like plastics, paper, motor oils with additives) the MKH-710 can remotely control an ADP-610 evaporator.
Furthermore, the MKH-710 can be equipped with an additional internal or external burette.
Factor measurements without water standards
The MKH-710 can determine the factor of the volumetric Karl Fischer reagent by coulometric backtitration. This feature (patent pending) offers major advantages in terms of ease of use:
No balance required, no weighing errors possible.
Absolute method, no water standards required.
Much less work involved. A three fold factor determination is a matter of one single keystroke.
Safer: If the relative standard deviation of the three fold factor determination exceeds 1%, the procedure is automatically repeated.

Straightforward operation
The large color touchscreen of the MKH-710 Karl Fischer Hybrid Titrator provides an intuitive user guidance and offers at the same time a clearly laid out display of all the relevant information during the measurements.
Easy operation and maintenance
The MKH-710 comes with a large capacity titration cell with a large sample inlet and an easy to remove, multi purpose top cover. This new design offers substantial advantages compared to traditional Karl Fischer titration cells:
The solvent in the titration cell needs to be replaced less frequently.
The introduction of difficult samples like powders is much easier.
One titration cell can be used for volumetric, coulometric and hybrid Karl Fischer titrations.
The cover of the cell can completely be removed. Cleaning of the cell and removing of stuck electrodes is easier than ever before.
The MKH-710 comes with a built-in pump to drain and fill the titration cell.
Furthermore, the coulometric generator electrode is equipped with a membrane, which is can easily be replaced.
Automatic monitoring, alert and check functions
A multitude of functions and automatic alerts help to ensure reliable results and a smooth trouble free operation of the system: The MKH-710 issues a warning when the Karl Fischer reagent needs to be replaced. Periodic alerts prompt the operators to perform system performance checks at regular intervals.
Automated heating method
The MKH-710 can remotely control the ADP-611 evaporator. This allows to define all the measuring parameters including the purge cycles and the temperature in the evaporator in one single method. The temperature in the evaporator needs to be selected according to the nature of the sample being measured: It should be high enough to evaporate the water as quickly and completely as possible, but not so high as to decompose the sample. By executing a measurement with the scan function, the system determines the ideal evaporator temperature automatically.
Enhanced ergonomics
The MCU-610 control unit of the titrator can be placed up to 10 m away from the titration unit, it can be wall mounted and the angle of its screen can be adjusted between 0 and 90°. A good visibility and an ergonomic operation is guaranteed even if the system has to be set up on a relatively high bench.
Extensive functions for data evaluation and statistics
The statistics functions of the MKH-710 not only ensure an easy execution of multiple determinations, they also simplify n-fold determinations of blank values as the mean values of such determinations are automatically stored.
The MKH-710 offers furthermore advanced filter functions for titration results stored in the instrument in order to evaluate them statistically. Titration data can as well be stored on an USB flash drive or a compact flash card.

Software
Soft Cap Data Capture Software
The easy way to transfer your results directly to Microsoft EXCEL
The Data Capture Software is an easy to use and flexible solution to collect measurement results from different KEM instruments (Refractometers, Density Meters, Potentiometric or Karl-Fischer Titrators, Thermal Conductivity Meters) on a Windows personal computer.
Up to four different instruments can be connected to one single PC and be used simultaneously. Two of these instruments can be of the same model.
The results can directly be stored in EXCEL workbooks. The measured results are always available at a glance in a clear and concise manner.
As soon as a measurement has finished, the result appears in the corresponding worksheet.
The layout, order and the format how the results are stored in EXCEL can freely be adapted to specific needs.
Results can be automatically be processed by EXCEL macros as they are transmitted to the PC. Additional data (comments, sample data, etc.) can be entered at any time by means of the PC keyboard or a barcode reader.
All results can at the same time be stored in as CSV files.

Evaporator
ADP-611: Accurate water determinations of difficult samples
The ADP-611 substantially broadens the application spectrum of your Karl Fischer Titrator. With this evaporator accurate water determinations of samples which cannot be titrated directly can be performed:
Substances which cause side reactions with the KF reagent such as copper (II) salts, iron (III) salts, nitrites, motor oils with additives, etc.
Substances that release water only at elevated temperatures like plastics
Substances which would contaminate the titration cell like coal dust, carbon black, etc.
Substances that are poorly soluble or insoluble such as cotton, paper, compressed wood, etc.
The ADP-611 features a modern microprocessor control ensuring maximum precision, reliability and user-friendliness:
Easy method development: A patented scan mode automatically determines the optimal evaporation temperature based on the relation between released water and heating temperature.
Rapid rise and accurate control of the heating temperature.
Digital display of temperature and flow rate.
Automatic alarm if the set temperature cannot be reached within a certain time or if the temperature in the oven exceeds 350°C.
Serial interface which enables the evaporator to be remote controlled by the MKA-610 and MKC-610 Karl Fischer titrators.
To safely avoid contamination from atmospheric moisture the ADP-611 is equipped with a remote controlled motor driven magnetic bar to move the sample from the sample chamber into the oven.
The heating chamber is equipped with an electrically conductive transparent heater glass. This permits the sample condition to be monitored during the vaporization process.
The ADP-611 comes with two built-in desiccant tubes for the carrier gas. With an optional air pump, air instead of nitrogen can be used as carrier gas.

Titration Units and External Burettes
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.
