Titrimetric Analysis
Titrimetric analysis is a highly precise quantitative technique used to determine the concentration, purity, or reactive capacity of a chemical species through controlled reaction with a calibrated titrant. Endpoints are identified using pH changes, potentiometric response, colorimetric indicators, or complexation behavior, enabling accurate and reproducible stoichiometric measurements.
At Materials Metric, titrimetric analysis supports formulation development, quality control, raw material qualification, and regulatory testing by delivering reliable chemical composition data for pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, polymers, industrial chemicals, and specialty material systems where analytical accuracy is critical.
Uses of Titrimetric Analysis
Titrimetric analysis is used to:
• Quantify acids, bases, metal ions, oxidizers, reductants, and active ingredients
• Evaluate chemical purity and potency
• Determine sample alkalinity, acidity, and buffering capacity
• Verify batch consistency and raw material specifications
• Assess formulation stability and chemical degradation
• Support compliance with USP, ASTM, ISO, and FDA expectations
