Potentiometric titrator: a precision analysis engine for modern laboratories

The core value of potentiometric titrators: why have they become a necessity in laboratories?

As the core equipment of electrochemical analysis, the potentiometric titrator determines the endpoint of titration by real-time monitoring of electrode potential changes, completely solving the three major pain points of traditional titration methods:

The problem of human error: Traditional titration relies on color changes to determine the endpoint, which is easily influenced by the operator's experience, while potentiometric titrators can capture millivolt level potential jumps (with an accuracy of ± 0.25 ‰), reducing the error to within 1.5%;

Complex sample limitations: For colored and turbid solutions (such as industrial wastewater and dark edible oil), traditional indicators are ineffective, and the potentiometric method relies on electrode signals to penetrate interference and achieve accurate detection;

Efficiency bottleneck: Automated titration program replaces manual operation, increasing daily sample processing by 300%, especially suitable for high-throughput scenarios such as drug quality control and environmental monitoring.

Technical principle essence: The instrument consists of an indicator electrode (such as pH glass electrode, platinum electrode) and a reference electrode to form a working battery. When the addition of a titrant causes a drastic change in ion concentration, the electrode potential undergoes a sudden jump (i.e. equivalent point). The endpoint is accurately locked through a differential curve, and the concentration is automatically calculated using a pre-set formula.

Full dimensional application coverage: from laboratory research to industrial sites

The modular design of the potentiometric titrator (electrode+titration device+control module) makes it a cross industry universal analysis platform:

Pharmaceutical industry: analysis of active ingredients in drugs (such as antibiotic potency), acidity testing of excipients, in compliance with the new regulations of the 2025 Pharmacopoeia;

Environmental monitoring: rapid determination of heavy metals (lead, mercury ions), chloride ions, and COD in water quality, supporting real-time control of sewage treatment plants;

Food quality inspection: analysis of acid value, peroxide value, and salt content to ensure compliance of edible oils, dairy products, and other products;

New energy materials: titration of electrolyte components for lithium batteries, control of metal purity, and assistance in material research and development.

Case study: A coastal environmental protection station used a potentiometric titrator to detect the concentration of chloride ions in seawater, with an error of less than 0.2%, which is 50% more efficient than the traditional silver content method.
