Product Overview
HYDRA-POINT™ coulometric vessel solution is a premium BAKER ANALYZED™ reagent formulated specifically for diaphragm-free Karl Fischer titration systems, delivering unmatched accuracy in moisture content analysis. This high-purity solution is manufactured under stringent quality controls to ensure ultra-low residual water content (<0.005%), eliminating background interference and enabling precise endpoint detection. The reagent’s optimized composition provides exceptional stability during coulometric generation, maintaining consistent iodine production for reliable titration results across multiple samples. Its diaphragm-free design simplifies maintenance while reducing contamination risks associated with traditional diaphragm-based systems. The solution’s compatibility with standard coulometric cells and electrodes makes it ideal for laboratories requiring trace moisture analysis in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or petroleum products. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to meet ACS reagent specifications, with certificate of analysis provided for traceability. The 500ml packaging offers convenient handling for frequent users while minimizing exposure to atmospheric moisture during storage. When used with proper electrode conditioning, this solution achieves detection limits as low as 1 ppm water, making it the preferred choice for applications demanding the highest sensitivity in coulometric Karl Fischer titration.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of this coulometric vessel solution when stored properly?
The solution maintains optimal performance for 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original sealed container at 15-25°C, protected from light and moisture. Always check the expiration date on the label before use.
2. Can this solution be used with volumetric Karl Fischer titrators?
This product is specifically formulated for coulometric titration systems and is not recommended for volumetric Karl Fischer titrators, which require different reagent compositions and concentrations for accurate results.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this reagent?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, as the solution contains methanol and may release harmful vapors.
4. How does the absence of a diaphragm affect the titration process?
The diaphragm-free design eliminates potential clogging issues and reduces maintenance requirements while allowing direct contact between anode and cathode compartments, which can improve response time in some applications.
5. What is the recommended electrode conditioning procedure before using this solution?
Prior to initial use, condition platinum electrodes by polarizing at 10-20mA for 30-60 minutes in fresh reagent solution. For routine maintenance, a 5-minute polarization at 5mA before each analysis session helps maintain optimal electrode performance.
