Fast D-PAS UV pKa screening allows fast pKa measurement with no loss in data quality.
Titrations are performed in the presence of a unique linear buffer solution. This buffer solution allows the pH electrode to reach a stable value very quickly after each addition of titrant.
Fast D-PAS UV pKa measures pKa for water-soluble samples in just four minutes. Water-insoluble samples are measured in water-solvent mixtures using a multiple titration.
It takes less than 10 minutes to do a 3-titration assay over a range of pH 2 to 12, covering a range of cosolvent dilution, say from 50% to 30%. A Yasuda-Shedlovsky extrapolation to the aqueous pKa is plotted automatically.
Reference spectra for Fast D-PAS UV pKa experiments are obtained from a Buffer Calibration titration. In this procedure, a blank solution is titrated over the full pH range, and the UV spectra are saved after each addition of titrant. This procedure provides reference spectra of the highest quality and only needs to be performed once per day.
