Water determination in body butter and creams - Mettler Toledo

Albert Aichert is senior applications
chemist and a well
known authority on Karl Fischer
titration. He has analyzed
many hundreds of different
samples and written various
publications on the practical
aspects of this analytical
technique. He is responsible
for training METTLER TOLEDO
sales and support staff and
has traveled extensively in
order to share his knowledge
in customer seminars and conferences.
In his limited spare
times he likes to climb the
peaks of the Swiss Alps.
Spoon TM is a very simple accessory but
has a great effect on the everyday life of
chemists. Incidentally, it was developed
in collaboration with a customer from
a large consumer goods company and is
therefore truly from the practitioner for
the practitioner.
■ Albert, many thanks for your information.

When loading the sample, Visco-Spoon TM
works like any other spatula. Weighing
it empty and full allows determining the
sample weight by difference.
The DL38 has been designed for users with
applications ranging from routine Karl-
Fischer titration to more demanding needs,
such as external extraction, high-speed
homogenizing and Bromine index.
Visco-Spoon TM fits into the ground sleeve
joint of the titration beaker. That way the
sample is immersed in the solvent mixture
and moisture ingress is minimized during
sample loading and titration.
