Composition: 1-Methoxy-2-propanol
Traceability: The certified value of this reference material is directly traceable to SI-
Unit (kg) and verified by NIST SRM 2890.
NIST: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, USA.
Method of Analysis: The water content is determined by coulometric Karl Fischer Titration
on 10 ampoules according to ISO 760.
Application and correct use: This certified reference material is intended for use as a standard for
checking the accuracy of Karl Fischer equipment according to ISO
9001 chapter 7.1.5 “Monitoring and measuring resources” of
coulometric Karl Fischer Titrators.
It can also be used to check measuring results according to European
Pharmacopeia (Ph.Eur.) chapter 2.5.32 “Water Micro Determination”.

Expanded uncertainty UCRM: The expanded uncertainty UCRM is calculated as UCRM=k·uCRM, where
k=2 is the coverage factor for a 95 % coverage probability and uCRM is
the combined standard uncertainty in accordance to ISO Guide 34.
Instructions for correct use 1. Open ampoule at the marked point of break.
2. Rinse a plastic syringe 1-2 times with about 1 ml of standard
solution.
3. Draw up the entire ampoule content into the rinsed syringe.
4. Weigh the filled syringe before injection.
5. Inject about 1-2 ml of standard solution into the titration cell and
start the titration.
6. Determine the exact standard solution weight by reweighing the
syringe after injection.
7. Repeat the determination. The content of one ampoule is
sufficient for 3 determinations. Open the ampoule only directly
prior to starting of measurement. Solvent in the opened ampoule
can absorb moisture and distort results.
