Kjeldahl System offers digestion, distillation, and titration processes for streamlined analysis. They include automated reagent handling and real-time monitoring for increased efficiency and accuracy. Their fume extraction and waste neutralization technique ensure safer operations. They support real-time data logging for nitrogen and protein content to report findings. Our Kjeldahl System is ideal for environmental testing, pharmaceuticals and agricultural laboratories.
Most Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a kjeldahl system?
Ans. A kjeldahl system is an analytical instrument used to determine nitrogen content in various samples, primarily for protein analysis in food, feed and agricultural products.
2. What are the three steps of the kjeldahl method?
Ans. The kjeldahl method consists of three main steps: digestion (breaking down the sample with sulfuric acid), distillation (converting nitrogen into ammonia and collecting it), and titration (measuring the nitrogen content).
3. What is the role of NaOH in the kjeldahl method?
Ans. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is used in the distillation step to neutralize the acidic digestion mixture and release ammonia gas, which is then absorbed in a boric acid solution.
4. Can a kjeldahl system measure low nitrogen levels?
Ans. Yes, it can analyze low nitrogen concentrations, but sample preparation and dilution may be needed for precise results.
5. What is the function of boric acid in the kjeldahl method?
Ans. Boric acid is used in the distillation step to absorb ammonia, allowing for accurate titration and nitrogen measurement.
