Types of Karl Fischer Reagents Offered

1. Volumetric Karl Fischer Reagents

Ideal for samples with higher water content (typically >100 ppm to 100%).

• One-Component Reagents:
  • All necessary reagents (iodine, sulfur dioxide, base, and solvent) are combined in a single bottle.
  • Benefits: User-friendly, simpler operation, faster titration.
  • Typical Titer: 5 mg H2O/mL, 2 mg H2O/mL.
  • Example Products: [Product Name/Code 1] (Methanol-based, 5 mg H2O/mL), [Product Name/Code 2] (Ethanol-based, Pyridine-free, 2 mg H2O/mL).
• Two-Component Reagents:
  • Consist of a Titrant (containing iodine) and a Solvent (containing sulfur dioxide and base).
  • Benefits: Enhanced stability, higher capacity, more precise for challenging samples.
  • Typical Titer: Titrant: 5 mg H2O/mL; Solvent: High capacity for water absorption.
  • Example Products: [Product Name/Code 3] (Two-Component Titrant), [Product Name/Code 4] (Two-Component Solvent).

2. Coulometric Karl Fischer Reagents

Perfect for trace water determination (typically 1 µg to 10 mg water), offering superior precision and sensitivity for very low moisture levels.

• Anolyte Solutions (Generator Electrode Reagents):
  • Contains iodide, sulfur dioxide, base, and a suitable solvent. Iodine is electrochemically generated here.
  • Benefits: Low background drift, high capacity, stable current generation.
  • Example Products: [Product Name/Code 5] (Methanol-based Anolyte), [Product Name/Code 6] (Non-toxic Anolyte for ketones/aldehydes).
• Catholyte Solutions (Counter Electrode Reagents):
  • Provides conductivity for the counter electrode reaction. Often a supporting electrolyte; sometimes the same as the anolyte.
  • Benefits: Ensures stable and efficient current flow.
  • Example Products: [Product Name/Code 7] (Catholyte for general use), [Product Name/Code 8] (Catholyte for diaphragm cells).
