Page 3: What Is Burette
What is a Burette? Burette is an essential laboratory instrument, commonly used in the titration process for quantitative analysis in many industrial chemical tests where solutions of known concentration are used to find the concentration of unknown solutions. -
Page 4: Types Of Burette
Types of Burette: There are three types of burette: VOLUMETRIC BURETTE A volumetric burette is made of glass or plastic material, with a volume scale printed on the burette wall. It has a stopcock at the end of the instrument and a valve to control the flow of liquid. The barrel of a stopcock is made of glass or plastic. - Page 5 A motorized digital burette can be controlled by a computer. ELECTRONIC BURETTE The Electronic Burette or E-Burette has an electronic display, electronic control panel and motor controlled piston movements that eliminate all problems of the digital burette which dispense manually.

Page 6: Technical Specifications Of Burette
Technical Specifications of Burette An Electronic Burette comes in different sizes and the most popular volume ranges are 10ml, 25ml and 50ml in capacity. The technical specification of these burettes are listed below along with their permissible error limits as specified in the DIN EN ISO 8655-3. -
Page 7: Components Of A Burette
The Stopcock helps to control the flow of liquid by rotating it clockwise or anti-clockwise. COMPONENTS OF ELECTRONIC BURETTE: E-Burette is an electronic device that delivers accurate and convenient titration while reducing the risk of accidental chemical contact. It includes some advanced components that reduce manual operation with high work efficiency. - Page 8 Stylus. Telescopic tube: The telescopic tube is used to draw up the liquid from the reagent bottle to e-burette. It can be adjusted in length according to a variety of bottle sizes. Adaptor: E-burette comes with different standard sizes of adapter that comfortably fit most laboratory reagent bottles.
- Page 9 COMPONENTS OF DIGITAL BURETTE: Digital burette is different from e-burette, although many components have the same functionality. Recirculation Valve, Delivery Tube, Inspection Window, Telescopic tube and Adapters have the same functionality as Electronic Burette. The digital burette only has an electrical display but the piston movement is manual which can be operated manually using a wheel.

Page 10: How To Use A Burette
How to use a Burette? The main steps to use an Electronic burette are given below: CONNECTING THE BATTERIES Open the battery panel at the back of the control panel. Connect the battery connector to the panel wire by inserting the battery connector into the panel, and then close the panel. - Page 11 If the charging is required, insert the charging pin at the back of the control panel and connect the power cord. Battery indicator will show the charging. Now E-burette is now ready to be switched on. OPERATING THE INSTRUMENT Switch on the instrument using the ON/OFF switch at the back of the control panel.
- Page 12 E-burette is commonly used in the titration process to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. Typically, titrant (known solution) is added from a burette to a known volume of analyte (unknown solution) until the reaction is complete.
- Page 13 By pressing the stop button, the filling volume can be stopped as and when you need to. Microlit E-burette offers the free dispensing speeds are provided, including dropwise dispensing that allows the user to get accurate end point of the titration:...

Page 14: Cleaning, Maintenance And Storage Of A Burette
The maintenance of electronic burette is an important routine in any chemical laboratory. Adopting a proper maintenance schedule can reduce the cost of purchasing new equipment. Cleaning the e-burette takes time and practice, otherwise the equipment may deteriorate. Therefore it is necessary to handle the burette carefully while cleaning. - Page 15 STANDARD CLEANING OF BURETTE: Whenever cleaning is required, run the burette under distilled water. Fill the barrel completely with distilled water and press the fast dispense button to dispense the water completely. Place a suitable receiving vessel below the opening of the discharge tube and rinse the instrument several times by completely filling and emptying it.

Page 16: Applications Of A Burette
Applications of a Burette Burette is commonly used in the titration process for quantitative analysis in many industrial chemical testing where a solution of known concentration is used to find the concentration of an unknown solution. The process of titration is widely used in various industrial applications listed below: Pharmaceutical industry: Purity analysis, Content analysis, Precipitation titration, pH-stat titration Wine industry... - Page 17 3 PRE-SET DISPENSING SPEEDS Microlit E-burette offers the 3 calibrated pre-set speeds that allow the user to work at the desired speed while avoiding manual error. The dropwise dispensing option in the Microlit’s E-Burette allows the user to choose this mode when they are about to reach the end-point of the titration process.
- Page 18 MOTOR CONTROLLED PISTON MOVEMENT Dispensing is done manually in glass and digital burettes leading to inaccurate results. However the Microlit’s E-burette has a motor controlled piston speed that allows laboratory personnel to work efficiently as it does not need to oversee the delivery process at every moment.

Frequency of use Changes in environmental conditions The viscosity of the media For Microlit E-Burette, gravimetric volume testing according to DIN EN ISO 8655-3 should be performed as follows: Click the settings icon on the bottom right of the control panel home screen. -
Page 20: When Is Burette Calibration Required
When is burette calibration required? In order to maintain the quality of titration results, the burette must be in good condition and properly calibrated. Generally, the interval at which a burette needs to be calibrated depends on several factors: Frequency of burette use Type of liquid dispensed by the burette Long period of non-usage Handling and care of burette... -
