  • Page 6: General Description

    The MI455 is a low-cost, easy to use, microprocessor-based automatic titrator. It has a simple and reliable peristaltic pump that ensure high dosing repeatability. By performing pump calibration with the provided Milwaukee standards, the instrument accuracy is assured. The instrument comes with a pre-programmed analysis method designed for Free and Total Sulphur Dioxide measurements on wine samples.
  • Page 7 The Milwaukee MI455 offers the possibility to test free or total SO₂ in all the wines including the red ones, that are difficult to test with manual methods because the color changes are hardly seen.
  • Page 8: Principle Of Operation

    8 MI455 Mini Titrator for Wine Analysis 3. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Determination of sulphur dioxide in wine samples is made by titration of the sulphur dioxide present in wine with iodate. In this procedure an excess of iodine is added to the wine sample and it is titrated with iodate.

Main screen display with stirrer active. Purging mode message. Pump Calibration Messages This screen appears each time the meter enters pump calibration mode.
  • Page 11 GUIDE TO DISPLAY CODES 11 This error message appears when the sample concentration exceeds 400 ppm. The used standard solution is wrong. This error message appears when the input readings (mV) exceed the input limits (0÷1000mV). Titration Messages This screen appears each time a titration is running. When the START STOP button is pressed the minititrator returns to the main screen.

    ELECTRODE CONDITIONING & MAINTENANCE 21 13. ELECTRODE CONDITIONING & MAINTENANCE Preparation Procedure Remove the protective cap of the ORP electrode (MA924B/1). Do not be alarmed if salt deposits are present. This is normal with electrodes. They will disappear when rinsed with water. During transport, tiny bubbles of air may form inside the glass bulb affecting proper functioning of the electrode.
