Titration is the method of analyzing the concentration of an unknown substance in a solution with the help of a titrant of known concentration based on the complete chemical reaction that occurs between the unknown substance and the titrant. It is one of the widely used laboratory technique of quantitative chemical analysis in the fields of chemical, electronic, food and beverage industries. The titration theory is determined by the type of the chemical reaction that occurs in the different titration process which is then monitored through a color indicator or potentiometric principle and a distinction between endpoint and equivalence point is made to establish the concentration of the unknown substance. Key takeaways from this white paper: Titration is a well-established analytic technique with higher precision and accuracy. It also provides good price and performance ratio compared to other techniques. Distinct differences between automated titration and manual titration are established. A complete guide for Karl Fisher’s titration process is provided in details. Detailed understanding of titration components and process.

A clean work area leads to better results contributing to a healthier environment. Cleaning imparts a significant effect to both the operator safety as well as minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. A Clean Balance for your laboratory is a first step towards safe and accurate weighing results. It also helps in providing an enhanced shelf-life to your instrument. Engaging into cleaning procedures, not only increases operating reliability, but also, reduces equipment failure rates. Find out more on balance cleaning through the Whitepaper below that will help in addressing your concerns: Are my equipments well cleaned, sterilized, decontaminated, or disinfected? Are you using the appropriate cleaning agent for your instrument? What are the standard balance cleaning procedures to be taken?

While it is important for researchers to choose the most appropriate type and volume range of pipettes, it is equally important to establish a regular pipette testing program to confirm that performance remains within the specified limits, supported by preventive maintenance and calibration if necessary. The more frequent pipette performance tests, the sooner defective pipettes will be detected and taken out of service, decreasing the risk of incorrect results and helping to minimize the need for corrective action. For assuring pipette performance, organizations have to follow essential requirements of a pipette care, maintenance plan, regulatory scheduled testing, and maintenance. What is the use of pipette maintenance? What is the impact of pipette performance testing? What is the future of pipette performance management and storage of pipettes? Move ahead and read the following white paper that will address all your questions, including these: What are the various types of pipettes? What are the best practices for pipette performance management and pipette performance assurance? What are the different testing, calibration, and preventive maintenance for pipettes? How to find a good service provider and manage the full service cycle?

Testing for incretins, and other gut hormones, presents numerous challenges because of their instability. Therefore, proper sample collection and meticulous pre-analytical and analytical sample handling are crucial for successful quantification of these biomarkers. Incretins, which are insulinotropic gastrointestinal hormones, are produced mainly in K and L cells of the small intestine under the influence of nutritional stimuli. This insightful whitepaper sees into queries like: What are the significant challenges in the measurement of incretins and gut hormones? What is the best practice for minimizing pre-analytical variability associated with blood collection, processing and storage? What are the additional pre-analytical steps that should be considered when samples are obtained for quantification of active acylated ghrelin? Download this whitepaper that provides insights about the challenges, best practices and major concerns regarding commercial assays for reliable quantification of incretins and gut hormones and specific pre-analytical and analytical processes as well as data analysis to improve sensitivity.
