Mona Wagner, Application Specialist Titration at Metrohm International Headquarters, presents how to analyze surfactants by automatic potentiometric titration. She covers all the relevant aspects from sample preparation to selecting a suitable electrode for the actual titration.
Analysis of surfactants with potentiometric titration
From shampoo and toothpaste to detergents and disinfectants – surfactants are an integral part of many consumer products. They are usually tested in the QC laboratory using potentiometric titration.
Key learnings of this webinar:
- What are surfactants and why are they important?
- How to reliably determine cationic, anionic, and non-ionic surfactants by potentiometric titration
- The difference between an aqueous surfactant tiration and a two-phase surfactant titration and when to prefer which
- How two-phase surfactant titration can be used as an alternative to well-known Epton Titration
- Which potentiometric sensor to choose for which titration
