Titrando – the flagship of titration
The 906/907 can perform SET, MET, DET, KFT and STAT
titrations, as well as Ion Concentration Measurement.
A sophisticated control algorithm, combined with the
increased volume resolution of the Intelligent Exchange Units,
guarantees highly precise results.
Touch control or mouse click?
Whether you operate the Titrando with touch control or via
PC and mouse, appearance and operation are practically
identical. The system’s operator guidance is exemplary.
Intelligent dosing
The Titrando automatically reads from its chip all the data
(type of reagent, titre, last titre determination and much
more) that it needs to carry out the titration properly.
TITRATION AT ITS BESTIntuitive, intelligent, sophisticated
Thermometric Titration
Thermometric titration is a
very versatile determination
method and an ideal
complement to potentiometric
titration. Suitable for any
reaction that produces a
sufficiently large temperature
change in the sample solution.

856 Conductivity Module High-end conductivity meter
Designed to connect with the latest, most
modern 5-ring cells, the 856 Conductivity
Module provides for a high linearity without
platinisation of the cell. This guarantees
highest precision, and the cell constant, once
determined, remains unchanged over a wide
measuring range. The 5-ring electrode can
be immersed completely into the beaker. So
beakers with different filling heights are no
problem and in stirred solutions a rapid mixing
within the cell can occur. Last but not least, the
cell is easy to clean owing to its removable cap.

THE WHOLE WORLD OF ION CHROMATOGRAPHYCompact intelligence for ion chromatography
UV-Vis detectionThe 887 Professional UV-Vis Detector enables reliable and
accurate quantification of substances that absorb light in the
ultraviolet or visible range.
Broad area of use
The flow path of Metrohm’s IC instruments is completely
metal-free. Thus, not only the standard anions and cations,
but also transition metal ions and various organic substances
can be detected without any problem. Even in complex
matrices, e.g. biological samples, good detection limits can be
achieved on the basis of the specific absorption properties of
many analytes.
Amperometric detectionThe 896 Amperometric Detector is designed for direct
current (DC), amperometric (PAD), highly flexible
integrated pulsed amperometric (flexIPAD)
or cyclic voltammetry (CV) modes.
Typical applications include the determination of inorganic
anions, such as cyanide, sulphide, nitrite, sulphite or iodide;
carbohydrates, such as mono-, di- and polysaccharides,
amino-sugars, sugar alcohols and sugar acids; and
organic compounds, such as phenols or vitamins.

Metrohm ion chromatography
For over 25 years Metrohm has provided
optimal solutions in ion chromatography
thanks to its innovative and creative approach.
Built-in intelligence
The 850 Professional IC is the first professional
ion chromatography system with intelligent
system components.
The 850 Professional IC guarantees excellent
results, gapless system monitoring, complete
traceability of all actions and the simple
operation of even complex procedures.

Chemical and sequential suppressionIon chromatographic analysis uses chemical and sequential
suppression to reduce background conductivity and increase
sensitivity. Chemical suppression improves the sensitivity
by a factor of 2 to 5.
Sequential suppression combines chemical suppression with
Metrohm CO2 Suppression (MCS). Carbonate and CO2 are
SEPARATION COLUMNSSurpassing standards
The first intelligent ion chromatography column generation in the world Insert and start
When a Metrosep separation column is used in different
systems, it conveys all its information to the next IC system.
This results in complete traceability and GLP surveillance for
all the columns used, even on different IC instruments. This
greatly facilitates system validation.

Meeting global standards in IC is now easy.
Metrohm columns are built and developed to meet compliance

forefront of science and research where
new simplified and enhanced methods
are being developed.

sequential suppression improves detection limits and produces
a remarkably smaller injection peak, which in turn improves the
determination of the fast-eluting ions such as fluoride.

TRACE ANALYSIS WITH VOLTAMMETRYThe versatile all-rounder for research, teaching and industry
Oxidative stability of fats and oilsThe determination of the oxidation stability of edible oils and
fats is the classical application for the 743 Rancimat. The
“induction time” that is measured characterises the resistance of
oils and fats to oxidation. The term Oil Stability Index (OSI) is also
commonly used.
The Rancimat method is incorporated in standards such as AOCS
Cd 12b-92 and ISO 6886. This technique replaces the previous,
complicated Active Oxygen Method.
Oxidation stability of edible oils at different
temperatures
The 743 Rancimat has an induction time vs temperature
extrapolation feature. This allows an estimation to be made of
the shelf-life of the oil or fat at various storage temperatures.
Oxidation stability is also an important quality criterion for
biodiesel and is required to be measured for blended fuels
containing biodiesel. With the Rancimat this determination can
be carried out simply and automatically.

797 VA ComputraceAnalysis of heavy metals: total concentration…
For specific applications where the cost of AAS or
ICP is prohibitive, voltammetry can accomplish metal
analysis with equivalent or even higher sensitivities.
Only small quantities of reagents and pure pure
nitrogen are required.
…and speciation!
With voltammetry it is also possible to differentiate
between varying oxidation states of metal ions,
or between free and bound metal species. This
information can be used to assess biological availability
and toxicity of heavy metals, making voltammetry
an essential technique in environmental analysis.
High ion concentrations? No problem with VA!
Voltammetry is ideally suited for the analysis of:
• Water,wastewaterandseawater
• Saltsandpurechemicals
• Electroplatingbaths
• Foodstuffs
Cyclic Voltammetry Stripping (CVS)
Cyclic Voltammetry Stripping is
the most popular electrochemi-
cal technique for determining
the concentrations of organic
additives in electroplating
baths.
Software supplied with the

ments all the CVS methods

MONITOR FOR AEROSOLS AND GASES IN AMBIENT AIREnvironmental surveillance
MARGA for autonomous operationWith MARGA, gas and aerosol composition of ambient air can be
measured simultaneously and continuously.
The whole MARGA system runs autonomously, generating
aerosol and gas concentrations every hour, only requiring user
intervention once per week to supply new solutions.
The sensitivity of the ion chromatographs is sufficient to reach
detectionlimitsbelow0.1μg/m3 with an air sampling flow-rate
of 1 m3/h.
The MARGA is available with 1 or 2 sample boxes, the latter
allowing simultaneous sampling of two different aerosol sizes,
for example PM 2.5 and PM 10.

contrAA® - unique multi-element analysis with flame, hydride and graphite furnace technology, using just one light source
The contrAA® series exceeds the performance of
conventional AA spectrometers in all parameters.
This new technology, High-Resolution Continuum Source
AAS (HR-CS AAS), represents previously unattained
effectiveness and quality of measurement results.
Following decades of experience in the development of
spectrometers and graphite furnaces in cooperation with
partners from leading research institutes, a vision has
become reality with the contrAA® series, which finally closes
the gap between ICP OES and AAS.

Solvent extraction: performing Microwave-Assisted Extractions
(MAE), with dramatically shorter reaction times compared with
conventional methods such as Soxhlet
Evaporation: evaporating acids and pre-concentrating aqueous
solutions directly from reaction vessels
Drying: perform gentle drying without carbonisation or
contamination of samples, in a fraction of the time
Special Applications: oxygen combustion for the
determination of halogens, UV digestion of liquid samples or
acid hydrolysis of proteins
