Salt analysis in foods, without any
nitric acid

With the new Metrohm Titrando range of automated titrators this analysis plus many more can be easily performed accurately and reproducibly without the need for nitric acid

Salt in food products is an increasingly important factor to determine, whether it be for health reasons or simply for taste The analysis for salt is routinely performed by many companies in many industries eg cheese, dairy products, sauces, soups, pasta, jams to name but a few

The analysis to date has involved various methods, the most common being the precipitation titration using silver nitrate as titrant to a mV end point.

The problems with this manual titration are that the results are variable and it is ineffective use of an analyst's time.

With the new Metrohm Titrando range of automated titrators this analysis plus many more can be easily performed accurately and reproducibly without the need for nitric acid.

Simply place a sample in a beaker, add some warm distilled water and press "Start".

The instrument then performs the titration automatically and provides a result on the screen, print out or on a PC within 2 minutes.

With the addition of an autosampler further time and money can be saved. Request a free brochure from Metrohm UK ...
