1 Introduction

1.1 The 855 Robotic Titrosampler in the Titrando sys-

tem

The 855 Robotic Titrosampler is a component of the modular Titrando sys-

tem. Operation is carried out either by a Touch Control with a touch-sensi-

tive screen ("stand-alone titrator") or by a computer with a corresponding

software.

A Titrando system can contain numerous, various kinds of instruments.

The following figure provides an overview of the peripheral devices you

can connect to the 855 Robotic Titrosampler.

Up to three control instruments (Titrando, Dosing Interface, USB Sample

Processor, etc.) can be controlled via USB connection during operation

with the 900 Touch Control. If the tiamo software is used, then there is no

limit to the number of control instruments that can be used to extend the

system.

Updating the device software is described in the manual for the Touch

Control or in the online help for the tiamo software.

1.2 Instrument description

The 855 Robotic Titrosampler is a combined analyzer, unifying the func-

tionality of a titrator and a sample changer. It can be seamlessly incorpora-

ted as a system component and control instrument into a Metrohm

Titrando system.

The 855 Robotic Titrosampler is a versatile instrument. It has been

designed exclusively for usage in factories, as long as ambient conditions

(see chapter 7.7, page 58) are fulfilled, and laboratories and thereby cov-

ers a wide range of applications.

Thanks to the integration of high-performance USB interfaces, it can be

incorporated seamlessly into a Metrohm Titrando system. The versatile

communications options of the Titrando system (Remote Box, LIMS link,

etc.) can thus all be used. Thanks to these abilities, a 855 Robotic Titro-

sampler is predetermined for all kind of automation tasks in a modern lab-

oratory, especially for highly integrated laboratory data systems.

The user interface of the Touch Control or the tiamo software guarantees

comfortable operation and programming of the 855 Robotic Titrosampler.

The comprehensive range of commands and the various configuration

possibilities can comfortably and efficiently be used this way. The integra-

tion into the Titrando system also guarantees a 100% conformity of the

complete automation system with the FDA regulations (Food and Drug

Administration), especially with the regulation 21 CFR part 11, electronic

records and signatures.

There are exchangeable standard sample racks available for many vessel

dimensions. Freely selectable special beaker positions can be defined for

e.g. rinsing or conditioning beakers on every rack.

The equipment with a 786 Swing Head allows to process a large number

of samples in one single sample series. The robotic arms for the 786

Swing Head make it possible to move to any given point on a sample rack.

This way the number (a maximum of 999 rack positions) and sequencing

of the samples is almost unlimited.

Customer-specific special racks for individual requirements can be fabrica-

ted upon request.
