Operating Mode Help
14 Titration
For information on the function of this mode, see Overview of modes, p. 75. For information on setting
the volume, speed, and other steps found in all modes, see Operation, p. 76.
14.1 Titration in detail
In Titration operating mode, you dispense liquid (standard solution) into another liquid (sample), e.g.
to observe the color change. There are 2 different titration modes available for this task:
'Manual' titration mode
In 'Manual' titration mode, you control liquid dispensing using the STEP button. Liquid is dispensed
while you hold down the STEP button. Liquid dispensing stops when you let go of the STEP button or
when the existing volume in the tip is dispensed. Every time the STEP button is released, the dispens-
ing speed is reduced on level (level 8, level 7, level 6 ... level 1). This makes it easier to achieve a color
change point, for example.
'STEP volume' titration mode
In STEP titration mode, you specify the STEP volume before dispensing liquid. Each time the STEP
button is pressed, the set volume is dispensed. The dispensing speed is also reduced each time the
STEP button is pressed.
Saving volumes
This function is used to save the most recently set volumes in a list. If you use the same volume set-
tings for the same titration tasks, you can use this function to achieve a color change point more
quickly. To call up a list, see Options, p. 94.
