846 Dosing Interface
When a Touch Control is used as the operating unit, up to three control
devices (Titrandos, Dosing Interfaces, USB Sample Processors, etc.) can be
controlled via USB connection. If a PC software (tiamo™ or
MagIC Net™) is used, then there is no limit to the number of control
devices that can be used to extend the system.
Updating the device software is described in the manual for the Touch
Control or in the online help for the control software.
1.2 Instrument description
The 846 Dosing Interface is a very versatile instrument. It was designed
exclusively for operational and laboratory use and covers a wide spectrum
of applications in this context.
Because it is equipped with high-performance USB interfaces, it can be fit-
ted seamlessly in a Titrando system from Metrohm. The versatile commu-
nications options of the Titrando system (Remote Box, LIMS link, etc.) can
thus all be used. Thanks to these capabilities, a 846 Dosing Interface is
predestined for all imaginable dosing and Liquid Handling tasks in modern
laboratory operations, particularly within highly integrated laboratory data
systems.
The user interface of the Touch Control or of the tiamo™ or
MagIC Net™ software ensures convenient operation and programming
of the 846 Dosing Interface. The integration in the Titrando system also
ensures 100%conformance with the guidelines of the FDA (Federal Drug
Administration) for the entire instrument system, in particular with Guide-
line 21 CFR, Part 11, Electronic records and signatures.
The 846 Dosing Interface has the following characteristics:
￭ Operation
Operation is carried out by means of a touch-sensitive Touch Control
or with a high-performance PC software, e.g. tiamo™.
￭ Dosing
Dosinos and Dosimats can be used for dosing. These enable the dosing
of auxiliary solutions or the carrying out of complex Liquid Handling
tasks.
￭ MSB connectors
Four MSB connectors (Metrohm Serial Bus) are available for controlling
Dosinos, stirrers and Remote Boxes.
￭ USB connectors
Two USB connectors, through which devices such as printers, PC key-
boards, barcode readers or additional control devices (Titrando, USB
Sample Processor, Dosing Interface, etc.) can be connected.
