5.8 Fill sample into the measuring cell
Preparation
Information
Since both electrodes inside the measuring cell must
be covered with liquid, the sample volume should be
at least 10 ml. To precisely dose the sample volume
for charge calculation, weigh in the sample or use a
measuring pipette.
Information
Good reproducibility of results is only achieved if the
sample is appropriately homogenized for quantita-
tive sampling.
• Insert the displacement piston in the measuring cell.
• Fill a sample into the measuring cell.
• Move the measuring cell along the guide up to the
stop.
• Lift displacement piston upward and turn clockwise
to lock it in the bayonet catch.
- The measuring cell is correctly positioned if the
displacement piston can be hooked in the bayo-
net catch easily and without canting
- Assure that the marking facing the front

• If applicable, install pH electrode in the measuring
cell (see Fig. 5-6 "Insert pH electrode", page 39).
Hint
Position the pH electrode such as to prevent titrant
from directly dripping onto it.
Hint
The pH electrode must immerse in the sample solu-
tion. Therefore it is necessary to use an increased
sample volume of 30 ml for isoelectric point measu-
rements. Use more sample material and do not
dilute the sample with water!
When just one pH value has to be measured (no pH
curve or IEP measurement) the pH of the 10 ml
sample can be measured outside before filling into
the measuring cell.
• Install the titrant tubes as illustrated below.
- The tube tip should be immersed in the solution
