O M N I S PERFORMANCE ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OMNIS is as individual as your analytics and grows in accordance with your requirements. Karl Fischer titration pH titration redox titration OMNIS – A SYSTEM THAT OMNIS is the new analytical system by Metrohm. OMNIS is based on a modular platform that puts the user fi rst – always and on all levels. SIMPLY OFFERS MORE What does that mean, and what advantages does OMNIS offer? Find out on the fol owing pages! | 3 MODULAR Laboratory manager Dr. Clark works for a beverage manufacturer. Until now, only the total acidity of the product “Yummy” needed to be measured at the lab. “ From now on, we analyze another A SYSTEM THAT GROWS WITH YOUR SUCCESS product: ‘Juicy.’ In addition to total acidity, the vitamin C content also needs to be measured.” For a start, OMNIS is the OMNIS Titrator. This is the basic module around which you can gradual y y build up your OMNIS analysis system – anytime you want, and according to the requirements of your m analytics.

Hence, you can use your OMNIS be scaled up step by step.

With OMNIS, titration is safer and smarter than ever SAFER A SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES SUPERIOR PROTECTION Every reagent exchange holds a certain risk because unwanted Once the OMNIS Liquid Adapter and the reagent bottle have contact with reagents cannot be excluded entirely. To minimize been connected, OMNIS identifies the reagent, feeding this this risk, we developed the OMNIS Liquid Adapter. It provides for information to the software. This works via RFID technology and the safe and simple connection of the reagent bottle to your prevents user errors. OMNIS Titrator preventing any risk of accidental contact with the liquid in the bottle when changing the reagent. This technology also bridges the final gap in analysis traceability: With OMNIS you can ful y trace back who connected which reagent and at what time – during an audit, for example. | 9 Karl Fischer Titration Starts Automatically Up to now, volumetric determination of the water content according to Karl Fischer involved a certain chal enge: If you for-got to start the titration in due time, the sample was lost and you had to repeat the analysis. With OMNIS you do not even have to start the titration at al , as this is done automatical y. Karl Fischer titration could not be easier and more reliable! Exchange Sample Racks during System Operation Time is money, especial y dur- ing routine analyses. OMNIS al ows you to exchange sam- ples that have already been analyzed rack by rack even during system operation. No matter where you place your racks on the OMNIS Sample Robot, it will automatically Total acidity Vitamin C Chloride Calcium/Magnesium identify each individual rack. Keeping Track with Designated Workstations When running several applications simultaneously with your OMNIS system, you can assign the different applications to designated workstations. This way, it is easy for you to keep an overview, even when performing complex analyses. MORE RELIABLE LEDs Signal the Status of OMNIS A SYSTEM THAT PREVENTS ERRORS LEDs on all system modules clearly signal the status of your system. Green means everything is OK, the respective module is working fl awlessly. If the LED fl ashes a yel ow light, there is no connection to the system. A fl ashing red light signals an error. Errors are frustrating, which is why it is better to prevent them in the fi rst place. Your benefi t: When you enter the laboratory, you will grasp the condition of your system at a glance, OMNIS offers a wide range of features that help you prevent errors. This makes your and you can easily identify which module might need your attention. analytics easier and more reliable. | 11 Sample list and results database – in one and the same window: OMNIS puts the Dr. Clark can see at a single glance which determinations have focus on the sample already been performed and which are still waiting in line. and answers Dr. Clark’s questions at a glance. y m m Yu icy Ju ty or Sp Which parameters need to be determined in my sample?

Laboratory manager Dr. Clark MORE COMFORTABLE A SYSTEM THAT MAKES YOUR WORK FUN REGULATORY COMPLIANCE? OF COURSE! When running analyses, you want to get correct results as quickly and conveniently as possible. OMNIS is al Secure database, full traceability, user management, audit trail, signatures, and modification comment are about you reaching that goal. This is why, every step of the way, working with OMNIS will feel much easier, features that make regulatory compliance with OMNIS simple. more efficient, and more convenient than what you are used to. FDA 21 CFR Part 11 ✔ EudraLex, Volume 4, Annex 11 ✔ | 13 With OMNIS, Metrohm marks the beginning of a whole new era of titration. For more than 10 years, Titrando has been the benchmark for titration. However, COMPATIBLE OMNIS Titrando will not now be discontinued immediately. That would neither be con-sistent with our philosophy nor do justice to the important role Titrando still ready plays in many laboratories worldwide. A SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS YOUR INVESTMENT Hence, to make the transition as smooth as possible, existing Titrando hardware can be integrated into OMNIS. This way, even if you chose to buy a Titrando now, you can do so with the certainty that your investment will be protected. The fol-905 Titrando 814 Sample Processor PC with tiamo software lowing example demonstrates the gradual transition from Titrando to OMNIS. Wir haben bei OMNIS nie gefüllte Pfeile.

Dr. Parker “ Alright then, let’s buy another Titrando.” “ Let’s get an OMNIS Titrator Dr. Ludowsky instead. Then all options will be available to us for the future. 905 Titrando Sample Robot S OMNIS Titrator PC with OMNIS software The OMNIS software works for both, our Titrando hardware as well as the new OMNIS Titrator of course!” “ I see. So, the advantage of OMNIS is that we can change over step by step?” Additional OMNIS Titrator Sample Robot S OMNIS Titrator PC with OMNIS software “ Exactly. As a next step, we could exchange our old 814 Sample Processor for an OMNIS Sample R obot. That would save space, because our Titrando and the OMNIS Titrator both use the OMNIS Sample Robot. If sample volumes should increase, we can simply upgrade our OMNIS Sample Robot – it’s that easy with OMNIS.” Automated OMNIS titration system with a Sample Robot M PC with OMNIS software | 15 www.metrohm.com 6 019-0 – 2 hange o c Subject t Layout by RTS Rieger Team, printed in Switzerland by Metrohm AG, CH-9101 Herisau 8.000.5262EN
