The design and implementation of a computer‐controlled automated reagent‐addition system is presented. A special feature is the use of an infrared drop detector to sense that a drop of the titrant has indeed been added to the titrate. This system is particularly useful for the determination of stability constants of metal complexes. The operational procedure is briefly discussed and examples are given to show that reproducible results are obtained.
