OptiLine 6: Photometric sensor for titration
Many titration applications and methods, e.g., N Ph. Eur or USP prescribe the use of an indicator for the titration end point. There are also methods that explicitly require the use of a photometric sensor. The OptiLine 6 is a photometric sensor that can be used like any other sensor. Thanks to the additional analog BNC / DIN connection, it can be connected to any titrator or even a pH meter with an appropriate measuring input. The power supply is included in the USB hub, which is in the scope of delivery.
Highlights:
- 6 wavelengths over a wide range: 470, 520, 570, 590, 605 and 625
- The wavelengths are adjustable via TitroLine® 7XXX (when using the analog BNC/DIN connection via a software tool on a PC)
- 100% resistant against solvents due to shaft made out of titanium - this makes a very wide range of applications possible
- Very compact - fits into each standard titration clamp/-head
- Easy to clean: simply rinse with solvent and / or water
The OptiLine 6 is connected to the titrator TitroLine® 7000, 7750 and 7800 via the USB connector. The sensor is supplied with current and detected as a digital sensor. This allows the setting of the wavelengths and other parameters such as the intensity via the titrator or the TitriSoft software within the titration method.
Typical applications for the OptiLine 6:
- Titrations according to PH.Eur. and USP, which require the use of an indicator
- Titration of Chondroitin sulfate-sodium according to Ph.Eur. and USP
- Determination of the carboxyl end groups in PET (non-aqueous titration)
- TAN/TBN according to ASTM D974 (non-aqueous titration)
- Titration of sulfate (indicator Thorin)
- Determination of Ca/Mg and total hardness
- All other complexometric titrations can be carried out as well
