HOW TO troubleshoot conditioning and drift issues with a coulometric Karl Fischer cell

In this video, the team at Metrohm UK & Ireland talk you through what to do if the coulometric Karl Fisher cell is not conditioning down, and the drift value remains high or is unstable.

What do you do if everything is absolutely fine but it still won't condition? The engineer you keep sending is useless btw

Likely, you have figured it out by now, but I'll suggest a possible cause in case someone else comes across this video. You could have a bad batch of the reagent. If the ratio imidazole/iodine is wrong, it will auto-generate water and the drift will always be over the limit. That's if you are totally sure that all parts of the titrator are clean and dry.
