For decades, electrical conductivity of liquids has been a workhorse technique in aqueous systems. For the first time, the Model 2100 Conductivity Meter from Ilium Technology—a 2016 R&D 100 Award winner—enables these techniques to be applied to any solvent system for the determination of electrical properties, total dissolved solids, solvent purity, titrations, clean-in-place applications, synthesis and formulation processes.
This enabling technology finally brings these techniques to industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, industrial chemicals, paint and ink, personal care, food science, and others where non-aqueous systems are common. The NIST traceable, factory calibrated probes, each with an invariant cell constant that is accurate over its entire 8-plus decade range makes the Model 2100 Conductivity Meter unique in the field of conductivity meters, allowing it to accurately follow processes through many decades of conductivity. This is an important advance over traditional conductivity probes, which require calibration every decade.
Each year for more than 50 years, R&D Magazine has honored the 100 best innovations in research and development. We are currently accepting applications for the 2017 R&D 100 Awards. Innovators with an exceptional product developed between January 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017 should apply. Submissions close April 14, 2017
