Titrette® Bottletop Burette
BRANDTECH® Scientific, Inc.
The Titrette® is the new generation of bottletop burette from BRAND. the BrandTech Titrette Bottletop Burette has a number of innovative features and upgrades for more accurate and convenient titration. Features of the BrandTech Titrette Bottletop Burette include: Class A Precision: The Titrette® bottletop burette has an innovative new measuring system which matches the Class A accuracy of glass burettes and, if needed, can offer the precision of 3 decimal places below 20mL. This is an important feature for users who need to work within the Class A error limits of glass burettes according to DIN EN ISO 385 or within volumetric tolerance per ASTM E287. It is suitable for most titrants in concentrations up to 1 mol/L, and is an excellent choice for general chemistry, food/beverage analysis, environmental fieldwork and more. The Titrette® mounts directly on most titrant bottles, eliminating poured transfer, while the large digital display eliminates meniscus reading errors. Available in 25mL, 50mL, and the new 10mL size which provides unprecedented performance and precision for an even broader volume range. User Serviceable: The Titrette can be quickly and easily disassembled in a matter of minutes – for cleaning, to replace the piston/cylinder, or to replace the batteries. Maintenance is easy and convenient, without the need to send it out for repair. Light Protection: To protect light-sensitive media, the installed clear cylinder inspection windows can be easily replaced with the supplied clip-on amber-colored windows. Low Profile: All components move within the housing, reducing headroom requirements. The compact design and the light weight ensure good stability. The titrating tube can be adjusted horizontally and vertically. Smooth, Low-Force Operation: The large handwheels provide smooth, precise control from rapid to dropwise titration. Optional Computer Interface: The Titrette® is available with a RS232 interface for direct transfer of data to a PC.
