Sensor Use and Maintenance – Good Titration Practices
Learn How Improved Sensor Handling Leads to Better Titration Results
Many titration lab operators consider the sensor a mere accessory, yet it plays arguably the most important role of any component in an autotitration system.
Titration measurement accuracy and repeatability depend on identifying the same correct endpoint or equivalence point, the job of the sensor. But how can you guarantee as conditions change from day to day that your sensors provide the right results? Are operators maintaining sensors properly? How do you know?
Understanding how to properly use, maintain and evaluate sensors for performance is a key learning for laboratories to help guarantee titration accuracy. Better sensor handling leads quite simply to better overall results.
