Kjeldahl distillation

Description

Protein and nitrogen determinations are common analysis in quality and production control. While the principle of the Kjeldahl method remains unchanged, various improvements to the Kjeldahl method enhance speed, automation, safety and convenience.

Established and proven
∙ Kjeldahl is the most established reference method for protein determination in food, beverage, feed and forage. It commonly serves as reference for NIR calibrations. ∙
∙ It is compliant with all sorts of national and international regulations such as AOAC, ISO, DIN, LFGB and many more.

Versatile
∙ Changing matrices or highly heterogeneous samples are easily handled by Kjeldahl.
∙ It copes with just a few samples per day or with a high throughput of up to 120 samples in a shift thanks to a flexible autosampler concept.
∙ Acid digestion and steam distillation can be applied for the determination of various analytes such as N-containing compounds, COD, heavy metals, hydroxyproline, SO2 , formaldehyde, CN, diacetyl, alcohol, TVBN, volatile acids, phenols etc.

For every budget
∙ Buchi broad portfolio offers entry-level Kjeldahl products up to highly sophisticated fully automated systems.
