BAT-1 Autotitrator
The BAT-1 Autotitrator is equipped with three high-precision titration pumps (with precision of 0.28 μL), and a magnetic stirrer, and is in combination with the BeNano series nanoparticle size and zeta potential analyzer for automatic acid-base titration and determination of isoelectric point (IEP). The pinch valve can close the circuit of the sample during the measurement, leading to high efficiency, accurate titration, good repeatability and the results being independent of operators. The disposable sample container can avoid sample cross-contamination.
