SmartChemicals titration reagents and standards automatically transfer their identifying data to the titrator.  A simple touch of the SmartReader accessory on select METTLER TOLEDO titrators to the reagent bottles instantly transfers all relevant information:

• Reagent name
• Order number
• Lot / batch number
• Concentration
• Shelf life / initial opening date / life span
• For standards: also uncertainty, supplier and compliance data

 A quick scan eliminates all errors and extra time required for manual transcription.

SmartChemicals equipped titrators work with:

• Titripur® volumetric solutions
• Certipur® volumetric standards
• Aquastar® Karl Fischer Reagents & Standards

Visit Sigmaaldrich/SmartChemcials for order information.

Any of the following METTLER TOLEDO titrators equipped with a SmartReader accessory reads the reagent data instantly:

• Compact Potentiometric titrators
• Compact Volumetric Karl Fischer titrators
• Excellence line titrators
  

In 2016, 80% of the FDA warning letters were issued due to the lack of data integrity. The main reason was incomplete data, an aspect that can be prevented by using the right solutions. The highest risks, when not working in a compliant manner, lie in import ban, product re-call or closing of production plants.

For laboratories that must comply with GLP, GMP and GAMP regulations it is important to have records or documented evidence of all relevant analyses that can be checked by a second person and also readily available for audits. Storing the result is not enough, each result set has to be complete and contain all relevant meta data.

Good titration procedure presents just such a case: a best practice workflow captures complete titration chemicals data.
