Titration Myth or Method? Putting Common Lab Assumptions to the Test

DATE

November 18, 2026

TIME

8:00 a.m. PT | 11:00 a.m. ET | 4:00 p.m. UK

Overview

Every titration lab has rules that get passed down from analyst to analyst. How long should an electrode be used before it’s replaced? Does a standard need special handling if it’s still within its expiration date? Does a stable Karl Fischer drift always mean the system is ready? If the endpoint looks sharp, is the method necessarily performing well?

Eduardo Simões, Titration Product Specialist at Metrohm USA, will put these assumptions to the test using real examples from potentiometric and Karl Fischer titration. You'll see which habits protect your results and which ones quietly work against them. You'll also leave knowing what to check first when a result looks off.

Julian Weber, Team Leader, Competence Center Titration at Metrohm, will show how system design and quick access to method information make it faster to compare conditions and track down unexpected results.

Key Learning Objectives:

Tell the difference between lab habits and practices backed by analytical principles in potentiometric and KF titration.
Recognize how electrode condition, standard handling, dosing and mixing affect results, even when the endpoint looks sharp.
Know when a stable KF drift means the system is ready and when it doesn't, and how moisture interference and sample behavior affect water content results.
Narrow down whether an unexpected result points to the sample, sensor, reagent, method or system setup.
Use method information and result history to compare conditions and track down changes faster.

Who Should Attend:

QC/QA analysts who routinely perform potentiometric or Karl Fischer titrations
Laboratory managers responsible for titration methods and analytical performance
Chemists and scientists developing, transferring, or maintaining titration methods
Analysts who investigate unexpected, inconsistent, or changing titration results
