Chapter in Microreaction Technology 1998, pp 302-309 “Incremental Parallel Microtitration: A Novel Approach Towards Test Strip Devices of Extreme Accuracy” K. Cammann, C. Hilker, B. Roß, F. Zuther Abstract The paper presents a novel approach of a microchemical on site test based on a high resolution volumetric analysis with optical equivalence indication. This novel microsystem combines the advantages of volumetric analyses with dry chemistry and microtitration techniques resulting in a short analysis time in combination with an extremely high accuracy. In comparison to other analytical methods a calibration of the system and a colour relation with a reference scale is not necessary. Furthermore there is no need to use any additional chemical reagents. The system is easy to handle and free of interferences. As mass production technologies can be applied the costs for manufacturing can be decreased dramatically. The variety of applications of this new analytical technique based on the incremental parallel microtitration will be presented showing first examples of acid base-, redox-, complexometric titrations and an outlook on the determination of more complex sum parameters like the chemical oxygen demand (COD) or the total organic carbon (TOC).
