1 Introduction

1.1 Instrument description

The 807 Dosing Unit is a versatile buret unit which can be operated with a
700 Dosino or 800 Dosino dosing drive. The 807 Dosing Unit is suitable
for precise dosings, titrations, pipetting procedures, sample transfers, etc.
The four inputs and outputs (ports) are designed for flexible use (presum-
ing the presence of a suitable control device).
Thanks to the transparent housing of the 807 Dosing Unit, piston move-
ments and stopcock rotations are visible. This means that even complex
liquid handling applications are easy to monitor. The unobstructed view
into the dosing cylinder also ensures that solutions can be monitored with
respect to the absence of bubbles and the leak-tightness of the cylinder
unit.
Specifications concerning the dosing unit and the reagent can be stored in
the integrated data chip. This data can be extracted and updated by a
suitable control device.

1.2 Model versions

The 807 Dosing Unit is available with cylinder sizes of 2 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL,
20 mL and 50 mL. In addition to glass cylinders, plastic cylinders (ETFE)
specially manufactured for alkali and other aggressive solutions are also
available.

Remove the housing of the dosing unit as follows:

1 Place the dosing unit on a flat, level surface so that the lettering of
the volume specification faces towards the front.

2 Keep the locking button pressed down.

3 Rotate the housing of the dosing unit by ca. 1 cm to the right (in
counterclockwise direction).

4 Release the locking button.

5 Carefully raise the housing upward.

When removing the housing, take care to ensure that the spring clip
on the interior side of the housing does not slide out of place.

3.2 Mounting the storage vessel and the holder

The dosing unit comes equipped with a storage vessel 6.2008.030 with
holder 6.2008.050 for the storage of the buret tip. It should be mounted
when the device is started up for the first time.
The storage vessel serves as a storage container for the buret tip when the
dosing unit is not in use.
The associated holder is used at the same time for mounting a name plate
with the designation of the reagent in the dosing unit. Name plates can
be reordered under the order number 6.2244.020 from any Metrohm
agent.
The dosing unit housing must be removed in order to assemble the stor-
age vessel holder (see "Removing the housing", page 10).

2 Seal the adsorber tube with the appropriate cover.

A minimum pressure compensation remains ensured.

3 Screw the adsorber tube to the deaeration port (VENT) of the dos-
ing unit.
The adsorber tube should be screwed on a bottle in hanging position
after the assembly of the dosing unit.

The VENT connector deaerates the reagent bottle. It should never be

entirely sealed off. If no adsorber material is required, then the adsorber
tube can be filled with cotton and used as a dust filter.

2 Tighten the connection nipple with the wrench 6.2739.000.

3 Screw the open dosing tip 6.1543.060 or the antidiffusion tip

6.1543.200 onto the dosing tubing.
The link stopper 6.1446.030 included in the scope of delivery can be
used to fix the tip in place in a ground joint opening NS14/15.

4 Insert the buret tip into the storage vessel provided for this purpose.

Details concerning the selection of the buret tip (see Chapter 3.5.3, page
18).
The first-time filling of the dosing unit requires no special measures. Each
Metrohm control device (e.g. Titrando, Titrino or Sample Processor) is
equipped with a PREP/Preparing function with which the filling of the
dosing cylinder and the rinsing of the dosing unit tubing can be readily
accomplished in an automated sequence.

 3.5 Mounting the dosing unit onto the bottle ￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭

3.5.3 Buret tips

The following buret tips are included in the standard equipment of the
dosing unit:
6.1543.060

6.1543.200

Open dosing tip 6.1543.060

For tasks during which the top is not immersed, e.g. dosings.
The buret tip can be stored in the same solvent as the one contained in
the reagent in order to prevent reagent crystallization.
We recommend that the storage vessel be filled with solvent and that the
buret tip be placed inside it. In the event that KF reagent is used as the
titrant, use methanol or ethanol for storing the dosing tip.

Antidiffusion tip 6.1543.200

It is used for work requiring the immersion of the tip, e.g. titrations.
This tip prevents the diffusion of liquids into the buret tip.
The pressure of the surrounding liquid and the internal stress of the mem-
brane press on the tubing end, thus sealing off the opening.
The backpressure of the dosed liquid is overcome during the dosing proc-
ess. The membrane opens up the tubing end. The tubing end is sealed off
again automatically after the dosing is completed.

CAUTION

Do not disassemble the antidiffusion tip.

3.6 Avoiding air bubbles

Air bubbles could collect in the dosing cylinder as the result of leaking tub-
ing connections or the degassing of air released in the liquid to be dosed.
Make sure that the tubing connections are always leak-proof. Check to
make sure that the ends of the tubing are not damaged before assembly.
Always pull the screw nipple tight with the wrench 6.2739.000. Take care
to ensure however that you do not damage the tubing ends while doing
so.
All Metrohm devices which support Dosinos as dosing drives offer a
PREP/Preparing function. This function is a preparatory step which auto-
matically fills cylinders and tubing with liquid.
The specification of length and diameter of all of the connected filling and
dosing tubing is required in order for the control device to be able to cal-
culate the necessary rinsing volume correctly. This is accomplished in the
configuration of the dosing units of the respective device. The data is
stored in the data chip of the dosing unit.

CAUTION

Apply the PREP/Preparing function in each case prior to the first use
of a dosing unit. This means that whenever you begin a new sample
series (at least once per day), first execute the PREP function. You will
find more detailed information in this connection in the manual for
your Metrohm device.

NOTE

The contents present in the cylinder will be expelled completely during

the PREP/Preparing function. The piston moves past the regular end
position and is pressed against the base of the cylinder. The contour of
the base of the cylinder will however never be able to be filled out com-
pletely by the piston, which means that a small air bubble might still
remain in place.

807 Dosing Unit ￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 19

 3.6 Avoiding air bubbles ￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭

CAUTION

A small air bubble will also always be present on the piston after a
PREP-Preparing step. It will however not be expelled during the dosing.
An air bubble of that small size will not have any effect on the precision
of a dosing! (see Figure 14, page 20)

A
B

Figure 14 Air bubbles in the cylinder

The end position A (end volume) will never be exceeded by the piston dur-
ing dosing procedures. It is only with the PREP function that the piston
will be moved all the way to the stop (PREP Position B).
A dead volume will always remain after dosing which is greater in size
than any air bubble which might remain following the execution of the
PREP/Preparing function (see arrow). This means that the latter cannot
exit into the tubing system and impair the precision of the dosing. The air
bubble remains in the dosing cylinder.
Conclusion
The design and mode of operation of the dosing unit is constructed in
such a way that air bubbles which could possibly arise in the system will
not be able to escape unchecked. They can be expelled efficiently prior to
the dosing with the PREP function. Any small air bubbles which might
form will be held back in a bubble trap. They exercise no influence over
the dosing.

3.7 Disassembling the dosing unit

Generally speaking, it is not necessary to disassemble the dosing unit
when reagents are replaced. Thanks to the low exchange volume of only
a few microliters, and thanks to the EMPTY/Emptying and PREP/Pre-
paring functions, which every control unit for the Dosino has, a reagent
in a dosing unit can be replaced readily and without any large loss of
reagent.
We recommend that inspections of pistons and cylinders be carried out
regularly for each dosing unit (e.g. every six months). If alkali, corrosive or
highly concentrated reagents are used, then shorter (possibly weekly)
intervals will be called for. The glass cylinder itself could become corroded
by aggressive alkalis, or solids could crystallize out of the solution. In the
case of alkali reagents, the use of dosing units with ETFE cylinders is to be
recommended.

3.7.1 Disassembling the dosing unit

4 Handling and maintenance

4.1 Care and upkeep

In contrast to the Dosino drive, dosing units require regular care.
If aggressive reagents are dosed with dosing units, then such units should
be rinsed with an inert solvent when not in use ( 'PREP/Preparing func-
tion) and then subsequently emptied ( 'EMPTY/Emptying function). In
the event of that the dosing unit is not in use for > 2 days, the dosing unit
should be emptied without fail, because even water can corrode the buret
glass in the event of prolonged periods of disuse. Remove the dosing drive
in the event of prolonged periods of disuse (longer than one week).

NOTE

Dosing units require regular inspections and must be disassembled

down to the cylinder unit from time to time and cleaned as necessary.

WARNING

Monthly or even weekly inspections are called for in the event that
alkali, corrosive or high-concentration reagents are used. If non-prob-
lematic reagents are used, then the inspection intervals can be exten-
ded to between six and twelve months.

4.1.1 Cleaning dosing cylinder and dosing piston

CAUTION

Never disconnect the cylinder from the cylinder base. Neither the cylin-
der nor the piston should ever be placed in a dishwasher!

￭ Check the leak-tightness of the dosing piston and cylinder. Inspect the
dosing piston for deformations or damage to the sealing lips. The pis-
ton and the cylinder must be replaced in the event that any changes
are discovered.
￭ Degreasing the piston and the glass cylinder are part of the cleaning
procedure. Use a cloth to wipe down the piston.

807 Dosing Unit ￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 31

 4.1 Care and upkeep ￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭

￭ Clean the dosing cylinder and piston with a liquid cleaning agent. Do
not use any abrasive cleaning powder which could scratch the cylinder.
Afterwards, rinse the individual parts with plenty of deionised (or distil-
led) water.
￭ Check the piston and cylinder for any changes once more before
assembling the dosing unit. If the dosing cylinder should exhibit
scratches or rough areas, then it must be replaced together with the
piston.
￭ You should grease the dosing piston lightly in order to guarantee pre-
cise dosings. Using your finger, carefully apply a trace of paraffin
grease 6.2803.010 to the exterior of the sealing lips of the piston.
Wipe off excess grease with a soft, lint-free cloth.

4.1.2 Cleaning valve disc and distributor disc

Figure 28 Valve disc in the cylinder base

Figure 29 Distributor disc with 4 ports (in the distributor)

The valve disc and distributor disc must also be checked regularly. Block-
age of the valve opening or of the outlet port is to be avoided under all
circumstances.
Disassembling the dosing unit (see Chapter 3.7, page 21).

32 ￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 807 Dosing Unit

￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 4 Handling and maintenance

CAUTION

Do not under any circumstances remove the black valve disc from the
cylinder base or the white distributor disc from the distributor.

4.1.2.1 Cleaning contact surfaces

CAUTION

Do not damage the valve disc under any circumstances. Even small
scratches could lead to leakage!

￭ Use a liquid cleaning agent and a soft cloth for polishing the contact
surfaces of the two discs. Abrasive cleaning powders are unsuitable
and could scratch the valve disk.
￭ Rinse the discs thoroughly with plenty of water.
￭ Dry the discs with a soft, lint-free cloth.

4.1.3 Discs adhere to one another

A film of liquid must always be present between the valve disc and the
distributor disc. If the dosing unit is used with solvent or pure water, it
could happen that this film of liquid will dry out during prolonged periods
of disuse. This could then lead to the valve disc and the distributor disc
adhering to one another so strongly that the dosing unit is no longer able
to function. It will no longer be possible to switch the stopcock position in
such cases. The control device will announce that the dosing drive is over-
loaded.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to use excessive force to separate the cylinder from the
distributor.

Separating the valve disc and distributor discs from one

another

Proceed as follows:

1 Removing the housing.

2 Remove the centering tube.

807 Dosing Unit ￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 33

 4.1 Care and upkeep ￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭

3 Place the dosing unit with the dosing cylinder in water (possibly with
a small amount of dishwashing detergent) for a few minutes.

4 Carefully release the cylinder base from the distributor by hand (with-
out rotating it) in order to separate the two discs from one another.
If the discs cannot be separated this way, inform the Metrohm Ser-
vice Dept.

Should it happen that the discs repeatedly adhere to one another, then
the contact surfaces of the valve disc and the distributor disc can be
greased with a small amount of paraffin grease 6.2803.010. This is how-
ever not to be generally recommended.

4.1.4 Resistance and materials

4.1.4.1 Solvent
Conventional reagents and media can be dosed without difficulty with the
807 Dosing Unit. The materials of the individual components (see Chapter
4.1.4, page 34) used which come into contact with the liquid being dosed
have been selected for maximum resistance to chemicals and functional-
ity.
It can however not be assumed that all types of aggressive or high-con-
centration reagents can be conveyed without difficulty. It is the responsi-
bility of the user to determine the resistance of the various individual com-
ponents to specific, aggressive media.

WARNING

Reagents which corrode glass, e.g. hydrofluoric acid HF or strong inor-

ganic alkalis, should be applied in diluted concentrations only. Caution
is also called for with concentrated solutions which are subject to crys-
tallization.

Many problems involving aggressive media can be prevented by regular

cleaning and inspections. It is possible that frequent replacement of the
cylinder unit (piston/cylinder/cylinder base with valve disc) will be required.
The temperature of the dosing material may not exceed 50°C. The dosing
unit and its components cannot be autoclaved. The sterility of a germ-free
dosing material cannot be guaranteed.

6.1 Buret data

The 807 Dosing Unit is equipped with a data chip which contains the
specifications for the dosing unit, the tubing connections and the reagent
used. The data chip can be read and overwritten by an 800 Dosino.
Indications on dosing unit / tubing connections
￭ Order number of the dosing unit
￭ Serial number of the dosing unit
￭ Serial number of the dosing cylinder
￭ Length and diameter of the tubings on the dosing ports
￭ Validation date
￭ etc.
Indications on the reagent
￭ Name of the reagent
￭ Titer of the reagent
￭ Concentration of the reagent
￭ Production and expiry date of the reagent
￭ etc
The 807 Dosing Unit makes it possible to read and overwrite data with the
aid of a suitable device (e.g. Titrando). Consult the respective manual in
order to determine whether the Metrohm device which you are using is
capable of accomplishing this. The contact surfaces for data exchange
with the data chip are made of titanium and are exceptionally resistant to
both chemicals and abrasion.

CAUTION

Take care to ensure that the contact surfaces do not become contami-
nated. Wipe off any contaminations at once. In the event of more seri-
ous contamination, the underside of the 807 Dosing Unit can be
cleaned with a moist cloth (possibly with a small amount of dishwash-
ing detergent or ethanol).
