The TitraSip is the evolution of titration automation and still true to its goal of delivering accurate, precise results
that stand the test of time.
- Single stand alone module, use with autosampler, stand alone or near-line
- Integrated pipet pump, dual rinse pump, analysis vessel and drain valve in one
- The TitraSip pipet pump is a patented, valveless, ceramic, piston design that is precise and inert
- Measured over millions of pipets, the TitraSip delivers according to Class A pipet specifications
- Laboratories with multi-parameter analysis requirements choose the configuration that best fits their needs and workflow
- With an autosampler, the entire bed is used for samples. There is no need to allocate space for the analysis vessel
MANTECH introduced and developed the concept of liquid handling/pipetting automation to titration systems. Early in the development stage, MANTECH decided to develop a self contained liquid handling module that could be connected to an autosampler, connected near line, or used as a stand alone. This offered a number of
important advantages:
- Connected direct to a process stream, the near line configuration offers the operator free, scheduled analysis over 24 hours, a week, etc.
- Invest with ease, start with a stand alone option and upgrade by adding the autosampler
- Autosampler movements are kept to minimum since the pipet probe(s) enters the sample once for multiparameter
analysis. There is no need to move from sample cup to analysis cup to transfer the sample - Choose from 3 different analysis vessels:
o 35ml – multi-parameter with FAST analysis times
o 85ml – multi-parameter with 4 electrode capability
o 145ml – multi-parameter, 4 electrode with large volume capability - The drain action ensures all sample and rinse water is drained from the analysis vessel. There is nothing
left! Aspiration of sample and rinse water may lead to cross contamination and/or dilution effects. - The use of the propeller stirrer ensures there is no sample/water trapped as with magnetic stirrers that lay
at the bottom of the vessel. - The dual action rinse pump rinses the analysis vessel with swirling action ensuring complete rinse of the
analysis vessel and pipet probe at the same time. Effective draining eliminates any potential for dilution
effects. - Add in MANTECH’s IntelliRinse, and there is proof that the entire system is clean and ready for the next
sample.
A very important consideration when developing liquid handling devices with analysis vessels, is the elimination
of carry-over from samples or from rinse water (dilution effects). The TitraSip utilizes a gravity and or pump
activated drain, versus aspiration, a propeller stirrer versus a magnetic stirrer, and a high flow dual rinse action
pump.
These offer the following advantages:
In our continued evolution, the TitraSip is now available in the RapidDuo™ format (2 x TitraSips), allowing for
quicker analysis times when running multi-parameter analysis.
