Instructions for Use
FASTRATE™ is a reference standard intended for the titre determination of water in a substance via the Karl Fischer method. The exact amount of water is provided in the Certificate of Analysis that is provided with each lot. Caution – Reference Standard for use in analytical testing. Not for human use. Store at room temperature (15⁰C to 30⁰C), away from moisture. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for more information about this product.
- Prepare titrator, capable of conducting titrations, semi-automatically
or automatically - Setup and calibrate the titrator using FASTRATE™ as the
standard. Enter the water content reported on the Certificate of
Analysis as required by the method - FASTRATE™ will begin to dissolve immediately upon delivery
into the vessel. The working medium should be agitated (e.g.
stir bar). After approximately 5 seconds, the tablet will begin to
break apart and dissolve into a suspension in the solvent. - Titrate each replicate to end point until method acceptance
criteria are met
Some residual suspension will remain after end point determination. This observation is expected.
A color change with the volumetric Karl Fischer method will continue to be observed when the end point is reached.
