Kjeldahl Analysis

VELP Scientifica (Italy) provides scientists with a complete system to perform Kjeldahl analysis and determine the nitrogen and protein content in different samples. Designed to ensure optimum accuracy and quality of results the matching DKL Digesters and UDK Distillation Units incorporate multiple innovations.

The DKL Digesters maximise automation, including automatic lift and vacuum control. A large program library, including the most commonly used international methodologies already installed, simplifies operation and saves time. Run data can be stored via a USB connection for optimised transfer on top models. A range of models is available to suit the required sample capacity.

A series of UDK Distillation Units provide choice of automation levels but in all cases ensure simplicity of operation and full protection of the sample and operator. The Distillation Units offer a high level of technology, including the VELP patented steam generator (absolute safety as it operates without pressure), titanium condenser (patent pending), whose water consumption is a fraction of the expected amount, and technopolymer splash head that ensures that all nitrogen is analysed for the highest possible accuracy of results. The top of the range UK 159 incorporates a colorimetric titrator (AOAC recommended). As with the DKL digesters, display screens provide full information and control. Touch screen on advanced models of Distillation Units.

Different configurations are available for different needs, in terms of performance and productivity.

VELP offers to the analyst a choice of systems provided from a single source to suit all budgets, with full applications support and technical compatibility to AOAC, EPA, DIN and ISO standards.
