With Flash2, the fifth generation of titrators made by Steroglass, we have made a cutting-edge upgrading in terms of innovative solutions designed to meet the needs of the oenological, food, environmental, and chemical industries.

 

A WIDE RANGE OF TITRATIONS

The Flash2 titrator has been designed to meet the widest range of titrations in the oenological, food, environmental, chemical, and galvanic fields with simplicity and precision, such as: ph, Titrable Acidity, Buffer capacity, Sulfites, Chlorides, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Peroxides, Conductivity, Alkalinity, Hardness, COD, TAN and more

 


Benefits

  • ENOLOGICAL ANALYSES

    Wines and Musts
    Automatic Titrators, indispensable tools for enologists, enable accurate measurement of pH, Titrable Acidity, and Free and Total SO2—key parameters influencing taste, mouthfeel, preservation, and stability over time. These analyses help optimize wine process, from deciding the harvest time to bottling so that the best possible wine quality can be obtained.

  • FOOD ANALYSES

    Milk and Dairy Products 
    Acidity: Provides key information on milk quality to ensure freshness, process quality control, and regulatory compliance for consumer safety.
    Chlorides: Indicate potential anomalies in milk and assess desired salinity levels, following official methods such as Mohr. 
    Regular analyses of acidity and chlorides in milk help to ensure a safe and high-quality product, supporting producers in maintaining high standards and meeting consumer expectations.

    Juices, Sauces, Preserves, Honey, and Baked goods
    Acidity: Ensures safety, stability, and taste.
    Chlorides: Accurate salt determination is crucial for providing correct nutritional information on food labels, ensuring compliance with labelling regulations. Also chlorides measurement allows better control of the ingredients optimising recipes, processes and degree of saltiness.
    Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Preserves nutritional values and freshness, protecting against oxidative damage.

    Solid Food Matrices 
    Sulfites: Determining sulphites correctly and quickly helps to improve product quality, protect consumer health and ensure compliance with international regulations.

    Edible Oils
    Acidity and Peroxides: Crucial to ensure the oil retains its organoleptic characteristics (taste, smell, colour) and stability over time, complying with quality standards that protect consumers and the food industry.


    Feed and Forage
    Nitrogen and Proteins (Kjeldahl method): They ensure the nutritional quality and efficacy of animal feed and forage: adeguate nutritional intake, safety and high quality as well as cost and productivity optimization.

  • ENVIRONMENT ANALYSES

    Waters
    The analysis of parameters such as Conductivity, pH, TOC (total organic carbon), COD (chemical oxygen demand), Alkalinity, and Hardness (ISE) of water (drinking, wastewater, process, etc.) is essential to protect public health, the environment and to improve efficiency of industrial processes.

  • CHEMICAL AND GALVANIC ANALYSES

    Acid-base, TAN (Total Acid Number) and TBN (Total Base Number) titrations, determinations of Hydrogen Peroxide, Active Chlorine, Iron, Soda, Potash and other substances in chemistry and electroplating are essential for verification and quality control of production processes and finished products.

ADVANTAGES OF FLASH AUTOMATIC TITRATION

  • Ease of use with pre-installed methods and the 
  • Possibility to add new methods without purchasing any additional application packages
  • Automatic control during all the stages of analysis and saving of the titration graph
  • Time reduction of analysis and sample preparation by up to 90% compared to manual methods
  • Full automation of analysis thanks to automatic sampling, degassing and auto-levelling systems
  • High reproducibility, eliminating operator-related errors
  • Operator safety, avoiding contact with aggressive chemical reagents
  • Complete connectivity and data traceability
  • Upgradable instrument, allowing enhancements at any time
  • Sustainability, thanks to reduced reagent use and complete elimination of disposable plastic consumables

Compact Design and Ease of Use
Flash2 is an ultra-compact instrument, ideal for saving laboratory space. Its multifunctional graphic display guides the user through every phase of programming, analysis and data interpretation, ensuring an easy and accurate titration process.
Fully Automated Titration Process
Flash2 comes with precision burettes, up to two, for titrant dispensing. It also features peristaltic pumps, up to three, to dispense auxiliary reagents, if required for certain analyses. 
The AS Plus Autosampler, available in 14, 18, and 30 positions, enables full automated titration process in every phase of the analysis.
Connectivity and GLP Compliance
Automated data is made possible by means of the dedicated Flash2Data software or direct LIMS connection. A comprehensive handling of results as well as the possibility to add up to eight secondary users and one primary administrator, are ensured.
Low Maintenance, Maximum Reliability
Flash2 is designed to obtain high performance and utmost reliability, minimizing technical assistance. High-quality components and an intuitive system allow continuous and precise operations avoiding severe failures.
Operator Safety
Long and repetitive analyses, as well as contact with toxic chemicals, pose significant safety risks, especially when dealing with hazardous reagents. Flash2 supports operators - even with minimal experience - in order to guarantee risk-free analyses
