specifically designed low drift cell which is also suitable for outdoor use. The built-in
battery and optional carry case, provide the versatility required by the laboratory and also

Aquamax KF reagents have been specially formulated for use with KF-LAB titrators.
Reagent A (anode) is suitable for most routine applications and is especially useful for
water content determination of oil samples, e.g. transformer oils, crude oils, etc. This
anode reagent is supplied in "single shot" bottles of 100ml – No measuring of volumes
required – No mixing of other solvents required. Reagent C (cathode) is supplied in
"single shot" 5ml vials.
The carry case provides the portability required by the field engineer. The KF-LAB can be
transported, complete with glassware assembled, ready for immediate use on arrival at
destination. Power cords, syringes, etc., can all be carried inside the carry case lid which
has a special compartment for this purpose.

(All KF-LAB power supplies are double insulated units that do not need an earth (ground)
connection. These units are sealed and conform to CSA(LR84459), UL listings and CE
requirements. KF-LAB titrators only require a low voltage 15V input to the electronic /
control circuitry. The moulded plastc casing of the instrument also provides additional
insulation.)
