The optional PC software connects with the TitraLab
network. The software can be used to:
®
• Control a TitraLab
• Control a sample changer to start and stop analyses
• Control a balance for accurate sample weighing
• Show run-time data directly from the workstation
• Manage data stored locally or on a server (search, compare, delete, print, etc.)
• Export data to files for use in other software applications
Full product documentation and on-line help is available with the software.
The optional syringe verification kit enables the verification of the dispensing system
based on the ISO8655 standard. The test adds different volumes of liquid on a vessel put
on a balance. The weights are used to calculate the real volume added. The real volume
is compared with the nominal volume. The results are used to calculate the error in the
volume added and the syringe precision. There are three verification modes available:
• Fully automated—The balance is connected to the instrument. The system makes the
additions and calculates the results.
• Partially automated—The balance is not connected to the instrument. The user does
the balance readings and the system calculates the results.
• Dispense only—The system only makes the additions. The user does the balance
readings and calculates the results.
The syringe verification kit includes all of the necessary items: dispensing tips, tubes,
syringe holder, pipette holder, support stand, software key and label with the license
number. Make sure to keep the label with the license number. A license key is necessary
to enable the syringe verification option on the instrument. The first time the option is
selected, the instrument shows the MAC address and the Firmware version. Send the
MAC address, firmware version and the license number to the manufacturer or a sales
representative to get the license key.
Note: The license key is only necessary when the option is selected for the first time.
Items to collect:
• Analytical balance with resolution 0.1 mg, repeatability 0.2 mg and uncertainty 0.2 mg
• Temperature sensor
• Deionized water "quality 3" (ISO 3696)
Prepare the syringe verification kit as follows:
1. Put an empty beaker on the balance. Refer to the illustrated steps that follow.
2. For the fully automated mode, connect the balance to the instrument.
3. Install the support stand near the balance. Put the pipette tip adapter above the
beaker on the balance.
4. Connect the tube from the pipette holder to the syringe outlet port.
5. Connect the tube from the water bottle to the syringe inlet port.
6. On the instrument, manually enter the temperature. As an alternative, connect and
put a temperature sensor on the water bottle to get the temperature automatically.
Note: The temperature setting is necessary for the fully automated and partially automated
modes. The dispense only mode does not adjust the temperature.
