Karl Fisher titration; solid type samples; MKC610DT+ADP611
We’ve run many karl fisher tests for people who wanted to know if and how it could be done. You hear a lot about people running a traditional karl fisher titration using direct injection with a syringe and needle. That’s pretty easy. For more awkward samples like a solid or solid-like substance we end up evaluating the moisture using a karl fisher titrator with an evaporator oven. Believe it or not that’s pretty easy too. I guess that’s why I wrote this post. I wanted to let readers know that the process of running a karl fisher test using an evaporator oven is not that difficult. I think the most difficult part is probably working with your sample. To help show how the process works we created this short 7 minute video detailing the steps along the way. Please make note that the instruments used for this demonstration are the karl fisher titrator (MKC-610DT) and the evaporator oven (ADP-611), both manufactured by Kyoto Electronics Mfg. (KEM) and distributed by scientificgear.
Hope you enjoy.
