Honeywell HYDRANAL-Coulomat AK is a specialized, methanol-free anolyte reagent for coulometric Karl Fischer titration, specifically formulated to measure trace water in ketone-containing samples where methanol would interfere. It's used in diaphragm cells, offering high accuracy by suppressing side reactions, and is part of Honeywell's trusted HYDRANAL portfolio for consistent water content analysis in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other materials. Key Features & Description:
- Application: Coulometric Karl Fischer Titration (KF) for water determination.
- Sample Type: Ideal for samples containing ketones (e.g., acetone, MEK) that react with methanol.
- Methanol-Free: Essential for avoiding side reactions with ketones, ensuring accurate results.
- Cell Type: Designed for use with titration cells featuring a diaphragm.
- Function: Acts as the anolyte (positive electrode solution) in the titration cell.
- Appearance: May develop a slight brown tint (trace iodine) with age, which can be removed by exposure to humid air before use.
- Brand: Part of Honeywell's high-quality HYDRANAL line, known for reliability in KF analysis.
How it Works:When performing coulometric KF titration, an electric current generates the titrant (iodine) in situ, and Coulomat AK provides the electrolyte system to facilitate this reaction efficiently in ketone matrices, allowing for precise measurement of very low water levels.
Outstanding Compatibility and PurityHydranal Coulomat AG is formulated for seamless integration with a wide range of Karl Fischer coulometric titrators, ensuring broad compatibility in laboratory settings. With a purity level of 99%, this reagent enables highly accurate moisture analysis for numerous sample types. It is supplied ready-to-use, allowing laboratories to streamline their analytical workflows and maintain consistent, reliable results.
Safe Handling and Storage GuidelinesDue to its highly flammable properties and potential health hazards, Hydranal Coulomat AG requires careful handling. Always use protective gloves, clothing, and eye and face protection, and conduct procedures in a fume hood to minimize exposure. Store the reagent tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat and light. Proper disposal should be conducted in compliance with applicable regulations.
Flexible Packaging and Long Shelf LifeHydranal Coulomat AG is available in 100 mL, 500 mL bottles, or custom sizes upon request. When kept in an unopened container and stored under recommended conditions, it maintains stability and effectiveness for up to one year. This flexibility accommodates varying laboratory volumes, ensuring users receive an appropriate supply for their analytical demands.
