Titration is one of the oldest analytical methods and finds its use in various industries. For instance, it is used to analyze drinking water or determine the metal content in battery materials. This blog post covers the principle of titration, its process, and presents the different titration types.

What is titration?

Titrations are used to determine the concentration of an analyte in a sample solution. For this, a standard solution of a known concentration, called titrant, is added to the sample. Titrant and analyte react in a stoichiometric manner. The analyte concentration is calculated using the amount of titrant, its concentration, and the sample size. Table 1 lists some common titration terms.
