Distillation analyzer Kjeltec™ 9

animal feedproteinbenchtop

Overview
The Kjeltec™ 9 Distillator is a distillation unit designed primarily for automated protein analysis following the Kjeldahl method but can be used for various laboratory distillation tasks. It is intended for laboratories processing low to medium daily sample volumes and employing multiple distillation protocols.

Value
Automated protein analysis with straightforward operation and data handling, reduced operator time and lower risk of error. Optional Alerts and Notifications support high instrument uptime.

Sample type

• Raw materials and finished products in food, feed and agriculture laboratories.

Parameters

• Nitrogen
• Protein
• Ammonia

Key features

• SAfE mode for secure distillation of samples that form salt cakes and bellows pumps for precise reagent dosing.
• Variable-output steam generator extends applicability to other volatile components.
• Accurate reagent dispensing to reduce cost per test.
• Self-adjusting cooling-water system to conserve water and reduce running costs.
• Long-life components and corrosion-resistant materials; alkali-resistant plastic splash head/tube draining vessel for prolonged instrument lifetime.
