Rethinking Karl Fischer Titration: How Smarter Algorithms Tackle Complex Water Determinations

18 February, 2025
Explore solutions for controlling drift stability, side reactions, and tough sample matrices—and contribute your challenges to the discussion.

By attending this discussion, you will:

  • Discover how automated control algorithms enhance precision and reduce titration times without compromising accuracy.
  • Understand how advanced drift management tools ensure reliable results, even in demanding conditions.
  • Explore how modern titration systems address safety and sustainability goals with features such as remote operation and support for greener solvents.

Event Overview

For nearly a century, Karl Fischer titration has been the trusted method for determining water content in products ranging from pharmaceuticals to processed snacks. However, even reliable techniques face challenges. For example, antibiotics can be difficult to analyze due to their limited solubility in conventional solvents, often requiring additional heating steps to ensure accurate measurements. Environmental factors, such as humidity, can further complicate workflows by introducing drift and reducing precision.

Join us for an expert discussion exploring how the latest innovations in Karl Fischer titration technology tackle these issues head-on. Panelists Nicolas Monney (Application Chemist, Mettler-Toledo) and Matteo Stefanoni (Senior Scientist, Mettler-Toledo) will answer questions related to advancements such as high-resolution sensors, low-dead-volume burets, and modular designs that improve accuracy, safety, and workflow efficiency. Learn how the EVA KF Titrator’s Fast Feedback Algorithm redefines titration workflows by adapting in real time to reaction conditions.

Who Should Attend:

  • Scientists, lab managers, and analysts working in water determination across industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, biopharma, and materials science.
  • Professionals seeking practical solutions to improve accuracy, efficiency, and reproducibility in Karl Fischer titration workflows.
  • Anyone facing challenges with complex samples, drift, or evolving regulatory requirements in moisture analysis.
