The acid or base number of petroleum products is an extremely important parameter. This is manifested by the numerous standard procedures used the world over (ASTM, DIN, IP, ISO, etc.). The quality of the results depends on many different things ranging from sample preparation to electrode handling.

Wouldn't it be nice to keep it simple - to just put the sample in the sample beaker on the rack and be assured that the rest is done fully automatically?

Metrohm's (Switzerland) MATi 2 combines all necessary steps, such as solvent addition, correct waiting times for dissolution and procedures for the best electrode maintenance between samples as well as convenient collection of all the data and results in a sophisticated database.
