Loading the Buret
NOTE: Removal of the buret from the calorimeter is the reverse of this process.
When the syringe is filled with titrant, follow the instructions in this section to load the buret.
The top portion of the buret handle displays a graduated scale with an indicator showing the relative posi-
tion of the syringe plunger during an experiment. The indicator must be in the fully raised position before
installing a loaded syringe into the buret.
1 Insert the plunger and barrel carefully into the rotating shaft of the buret assembly. (See the figure below.)
Figure 15 Plunger and barrel.
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage, do not use the 100 or 250 µL syringes with the Nano ITC
Low Volume instrument.
