- Expandable with manual or automated oven sample preparation for difficult solids and samples requiring indirect water determination.
Supplied and supported in Pakistan by Continental Worldwide Trading Company (CWTC).
Key Features
21 CFR Part 11 Documentation
Complies with CFR Part 11 requirements for Pharma and regulated environments.
User Administration and Audit Trail
Access rights can be assigned by user, while actions and changes are recorded in the audit trail.
Traceable Electronic Records
Determination records include the instrument, user, time and documented changes associated with the result.
Secure PDF and Data Reporting
Generate forge-proof PDF reports without a PC and save reports, methods and determination data to USB or the network.
Printer, Balance and Barcode Connectivity
Connect compatible USB or network printers, balances through an adapter, PC keyboard and USB barcode reader.
Direct Ethernet and PC/LIMS Integration
The Ethernet connection supports network data archiving, method management, network printing and PC/LIMS reporting.
Integrated Pump and Safer Reagent Handling
The titration cell can be emptied and refilled at the push of a button, while Dosino technology reduces direct contact with KF reagent.
Safety Stop During Conditioning
The electrode test and Safety Stop can interrupt conditioning if the electrode is not connected correctly or the cell is excessively wet.
Personalized Touchscreen Operation
Up to 14 favorite methods can be assigned per user for one-touch method start.
Where the 915 KF Ti-Touch fits in laboratory workflows915 KF Ti-Touch
Water Determination in Pharmaceutical Materials
Water determination in APIs, excipients, tablets, capsules, powders, lyophilizates, creams, ointments, solvents and intermediate materials. Use direct titration where the sample dissolves and does not interfere; use the oven method for difficult solids, reactive samples or formulations that release water only when heated.
Routine Water Determination in Solvents and Reagents
Routine water determination in organic solvents, alcohols, reagents, monomers, specialty chemicals, process samples and raw materials. Volumetric KF is useful where the expected water content is above the normal coulometric trace range.
Water Content in Oils, Additives and Fuels
Water content in oils, additives, fuels and other petroleum products. Difficult matrices can be transferred to the titration cell through thermal gas extraction to reduce contamination and matrix effects.
Water Determination in Food Materials
Water determination in oils, fats, powders, dairy ingredients, sweeteners, spices and other food materials. Oven preparation is useful where direct dissolution is slow or the matrix reacts with KF reagent.
Water Content in Pellets, Granules and Resins
Water content in pellets, granules, resins and polymers. The oven method allows moisture to be released from the sample without introducing the polymer matrix into the titration cell.
Water Determination in Moisture-Sensitive Materials
Water determination in battery materials, powders and moisture-sensitive raw materials. Application design must consider sample handling, environmental exposure and the suitability of direct or oven introduction.
Water Determination in Formulation Ingredients
Water determination in oils, creams, gels, surfactants and formulation ingredients. Sample preparation and solvent selection should be confirmed during method development.

Metrohm publishes a firmware-specific FDA certificate and system assessment for version 5.915.0046. This supports implementation in a Part 11-controlled environment. The laboratory must still validate the configured system and maintain appropriate SOPs, user administration, training, backup, review and change control.
Metrohm currently lists an FDA Certificate, GAMP Certificate, System Assessment Report and Release Notes for firmware version 5.915.0046, together with the instrument manual and conformity documentation.
No. The 915 KF Ti-Touch is a stand-alone system. It can create PDF reports, save records to USB, connect to Ethernet, print locally or over the network, and transfer PC/LIMS reports without being operated from a separate PC.
Yes. Compatible USB and network printers can be used. Metrohm also offers the compact Custom Q3X thermal printer for selected report formats.
The system provides features relevant to GMP/GLP-oriented operation, including controlled users, traceable records, audit trail, secure reporting and qualification support. GMP compliance applies to the customer’s complete validated process, not to the instrument alone
Use an oven when the sample is insoluble, reacts with the KF reagent, releases water slowly or only at elevated temperature, or would contaminate the titration cell.
The 915 performs volumetric Karl Fischer titration and is normally selected for higher absolute water quantities. The 917 performs coulometric Karl Fischer titration and is typically selected for trace-level water determination.
Eco KF is the economical routine volumetric KF platform. The 915 adds the regulated-laboratory proposition: user administration, audit trail, traceability, secure PDF reporting, network/LIMS integration, printer options and version-specific 21 CFR Part 11 documentation.
Yes, provided the sample can be introduced directly without solubility or interference problems. Otherwise, use thermal sample preparation with the 860 KF Thermoprep or an automated oven system.
Yes. The 915 supports selected sample processors and the 885 Compact Oven Sample Changer. Higher-throughput oven solutions can also be evaluated according to the required control software and system configuration.
Yes. A compatible balance can be connected using the required USB/RS-232 adapter and cable, while a USB barcode reader can support sample-data entry.
