Fast Reliable and cost-saving
KAPSAP (Known Addition Potentiometry, Sample Addition Potentiometry) is a fully automated workstation, which offers a unique extension of “Known Addition Potentiometry”, to determine a range of analytes using the technique of standard addition. The KAPSAP, employs unique manipulations of standard solutions, samples, and base solutions containing potentiometric sensors that can allow the fully automated Ion analysis of up to 350 samples.
The KAPSAP is perfect for water analysis and uses significantly smaller volumes than typical potentiometric titrations. This delivers an additional saving in cost and time compared to similar automated systems and also eliminates the effect of interfering ions or excess acidity/alkalinity.
Key Features
- Small sample size: 1 to 2 ml
- Capacity of up to 350 15ml samples
- The system automatically and accurately pipettes the sample. No need for manual time-consuming decanting of the sample
- Reagent savings; fluoride analysis uses 1/10 the amount of TISAB compared to conventional techniques
- KAPSAP’s procedures automatically corrects for any potential carry-over from one analysis to the next, eliminating the need to “washout” between samples
- Eliminates the problems associated with the presence of interfering ions or excess acidity / alkalinity
- Detection of <5ppm – 100% moisture
