For professionals and field technicians seeking a simple, accurate way to measure carbon dioxide levels in water, the CHEMetrics K-1910 Carbon Dioxide Titrets Kit offers an efficient and reliable solution. Designed to measure CO₂ concentrations ranging from 10–100 ppm, this self-contained kit is ideal for both laboratory and field applications.
Why Choose the CHEMetrics Titrets System?
The Titrets system is built around convenience, accuracy, and portability. Unlike traditional titration methods that require glassware, drop counting, and complicated setups, Titrets make water testing straightforward. The self-filling reagent ampoules and handheld titrettor provide an easy-to-use system that minimizes human error and enhances reproducibility of results.
Key Benefits:
- No burets, drop counters, or additional equipment needed
- Fast, on-the-spot titration anywhere
- Accurate results with minimal operator error
- No exposure to unstable or expired reagents
Safe, Stable, and Simple
Each ampoule in the kit is vacuum-sealed and pre-loaded with reagent. This design ensures that the chemical integrity is preserved until the moment of use. By sealing the reagent inside glass, users also avoid unnecessary contact with caustic materials, making this method safer and more consistent than open-system titration kits.
What’s Included in the K-1910 Kit?
- 30 Self-Filling Ampoules with Valve Assemblies
- 1 × 25 mL Sample Cup
- Activator Solutions
- Handheld Titrettor
- Complete Instruction Manual
How It Works: Caustic Titrant with pH Indicator Method
This method utilizes sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as a titrant and phenolphthalein as a pH indicator. As you titrate the sample, the pink color will fade and eventually turn colorless—indicating the endpoint and the amount of dissolved CO₂ present.
Carbon Dioxide Sources:
- Biological respiration
- Organic matter decay
- Mineral decomposition
In natural waters, CO₂ levels vary widely:
- Surface waters: typically <10 ppm
- Deep groundwater: often hundreds of ppm
Measurement Range: 10–100 ppm (mg/L)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Sample Prep: Fill the sample cup to the 20 mL mark with your water sample.
- Add Reagent: Add two drops of Activator Solution and mix.
- Snap Ampoule: Break the tip of the ampoule at the black snap ring.
- Insert Ampoule: Place the ampoule into the Titrettor.
- Draw Sample: Dip the ampoule tip into the sample and press the control bar to draw in liquid—it will turn pink.
- Continue Titration: Repeat the draw-and-mix process until the pink color changes permanently to colorless.
- Read Result: Once the endpoint is reached, remove the ampoule and read the result directly from the printed scale in ppm CO₂.
Note: Color changes shown in example images may differ slightly; refer to written instructions for the specific color cues for CO₂ testing.
