Native speaker of what? As a UK English speaker, can't say I've heard of "digerated", can you provide some quotes?

Same here, and the latter should be titrated, surely.

Thanks, I was struggling to find that, never come across the word before.

every now and then i come across "digerated" in chemical procedures (try to google it). to me it seems to be used as a synonym for "triturated", which i understand as the physical operation when solid is treated with solvent to give suspension. i was just curious whether it is genuine english word or it is misused by non native speakers.
