Why determine water content in production processes and quality control?
Water reduces the shelf life and stability of products especially food, petroleum products, and pharmaceutical substances, when present in excess. This may complicate product processing and hinder its quality. Thus, determining water content in production processes and quality control is very important.
Why determine water content in sodium tartrate dihydrate?
Sodium tartrate dihydrate is a certified water standard for Karl Fischer water determination. Thus, before the start of actual sample analysis, verification of the instrument's performance and concentration determination of Karl Fischer reagents is determined by measuring the water content of sodium tartrate dihydrate.
What is the importance of certified reference material in titration?
A certified reference material is a thoroughly characterized pure component of a consistent quality that has been certified by a reliable organization. This certified reference material is used to verify an instrument's performance and to determine the titer concentrations in titration, which is an important step prior to water content analysis for samples.
