KARL-FISCHER WEIGHING BOAT

karl-fischer weighing boat,

The KARL-FISCHER WEIGHING BOAT, reference 5019449, is specifically designed for water determination using the Karl Fischer (KF) method. Made from low-hygroscopicity glass, it is fully compatible with Metrohm ovens and titration systems, ensuring that the sample reaches the KF reagent without absorbing moisture from the environment.

Why Choose this karl-fischer weighing boat

• Special Glass for KF
  Minimizes water adsorption and prevents false positives during analysis.

• Optimized Weighing Format
  Thin walls and a stable base facilitate easy sample loading and ensure uniform heat transfer in the drying oven.

• Metrohm Compatibility
  Dimensions and geometry are tailored to fit Metrohm sample holders and caps (e.g., models 6.1414.030 and 6.1455.xxx), ensuring a fast and secure seal.

• Controlled Thermal Range (≈ 40 – 300 °C)
  Ideal for pre-drying and moisture desorption without risking degradation of sensitive compounds.

• Disposable or Reusable Use
  Can be used as a single-use consumable to avoid cross-contamination or cleaned with anhydrous solvent and dry air for controlled reuse.

• Specific Applications

  • Water quantification in solids, fine powders, and hygroscopic granulates

  • Analysis of pharmaceutical raw materials, polymers, lyophilized foods, or salts

  • Validation and quality control tests requiring moisture tolerances ≤ 0.01%

Handling Instructions

• Conditioning – Store the KARL-FISCHER WEIGHING BOAT in a desiccator or sealed case.

• Quick Weighing – Place the sample in the weighing boat and weigh immediately to minimize exposure to ambient moisture.

• Sealing – Insert the weighing boat into the oven or introduction port and seal following the KF system protocol.

• Disposal or Cleaning – After analysis, discard the weighing boat or clean it with anhydrous solvent and dry air if it will be reused.
