Product Overview
The HM Instruments HM-D3 Automatic Potentiometric and Dead-Stop Titrator is an advanced benchtop analytical instrument designed for precise and automated quantitative chemical analysis across research institutions, industrial quality assurance laboratories, and regulated manufacturing testing centers. Built upon a high-precision closed-loop stepping motor fluidic drive and intelligent signal acquisition electronics, the HM-D3 monitors electrochemical parameters continuously throughout volumetric addition, tracking potential curves in real time to locate equivalence jump points automatically.
The instrument runs on an intuitive Android 10 operating system displayed on a vibrant 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, allowing laboratory operators to switch between versatile routine testing and regulatory-compliant inspection workflows seamlessly. With a titration repeatability of ≤0.2% and titration analysis error ≤±1.5% conforming to JJG 814-2015 0.05 level standards, the HM-D3 provides complete volumetric analytical confidence, eliminating manual burette reading subjectivity and reducing analyst exposure to aggressive titrants.
Key Features
- Closed-Loop Stepper Motor Drive: High-precision dosing mechanism achieves a theoretical resolution ≥1/1,500,000 (reliable resolution ≥1/300,000) and software-controllable minimum liquid addition down to 0.0001 mL (0.1 μL).
- Interchangeable Integrated Fluidic System: Valve-burette integrated design enables rapid tool-free replacement of 10 mL (capacity tolerance ±25 μL) and 20 mL (capacity tolerance ±35 μL) glass burettes with PTFE pipelines highly resistant to strong acids, strong bases, and corrosive organic solvents.
- Dual Operating Modes: Conventional titration mode allows researchers to customize addition volumes, waiting delays, and endpoint derivatives for exploratory research; specialized titration mode enables single-click execution of pre-programmed standard test procedures with direct output of sample concentration.
- Multi-Endpoint Detection: Features dynamic, equivalent, preset endpoint, and manual titration options, supporting 1 to 5 sequential endpoint indices on complex multi-step titration curves.
- GLP/GMP Data Integrity and Audit Trail: Equipped with three-level user permission administration (Administrator, Supervisor, Operator), immutable audit logging, and encrypted local storage for up to 100,000 titration records and complete titration curves.
- Digital Connectivity and Reporting: Integrated thermal line printer provides instant printed receipts, while dual USB ports, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi facilitate seamless data export in PDF and Excel formats or direct synchronization with laboratory LIMS databases.
- Automated Fluidic Maintenance: One-touch automated functions for bubble purging, pipeline cleaning, and reagent evacuation ensure clean fluidic circuits and protect operators from chemical contact.
Applications
The HM-D3 Automatic Potentiometric and Dead-Stop Titrator provides versatile volumetric measurement across key analytical sectors:
- Food and Beverage Quality: Determination of acid value and peroxide value in edible vegetable oils, total acidity in fruit beverages and dairy, and amino acid nitrogen in soy sauce and vinegar.
- Environmental and Water Testing: Chemical oxygen demand (COD) permanganate index, chloride ion concentration via argentometric titration, and ammonia nitrogen quantification in surface and discharge waters.
- Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemical Testing: Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) purity assays, non-aqueous titrations, raw material verification, and cosmetic lotion acidity/alkalinity controls.
- Petrochemical Industry: Total acid number (TAN) and total base number (TBN) in lubricating oils, mercaptan sulfur content, and purity analysis of basic chemical feedstocks.
- Academic and Scientific Research: Reaction stoichiometry verification, complexation equilibria analysis, and precision chemical kinetics teaching.

Operation and Support
Routine analysis with the HM-D3 is structured for laboratory efficiency and measurement reproducibility:
- Sample Loading: Dispense the prepared sample solution into the 100 mL titration beaker, position the magnetic stir bar, and insert the electrodes and delivery tip into the 5-hole stand.
- Method Selection: Select the target method from the pre-programmed standard library or create a custom method specifying stir speed, pre-stir delay, and endpoint differentiation threshold.
- Automated Execution: Press Start. The closed-loop stepper motor dispenses titrant while the 7-inch display visualizes the titration curve dynamically until equivalence is locked.
- Result Archiving: The instrument automatically calculates analyte content, triggers instant thermal receipt printing, and archives the run in the encrypted GLP database.
- Maintenance: Initiate automated wash cycles through the touchscreen to flush pipelines between incompatible reagents.
