The Kjeltec™ 9 Distillator is a distillation unit designed primarily for automated protein analysis following the Kjeldahl method but can be widely used for many different distillation purposes. The solution is perfect for laboratories running a low to medium volume of daily samples and using many different distillation methods.
Automated protein analysis that is safe and simple-to-run with easy data handling, minimal operator time and reduced risk of error. Ensure high uptime with optional Alerts and Notifications.
Raw materials and finished products in food, feed, and agriculture.
Nitrogen, protein, ammonia.
Ensure safe operations with FOSS pioneered SAfE* mode for safe distillation of samples that form salt cakes and bellow pumps for accurate reagent dispensing. A variable output steam generator broadens the application area to other volatile components. *Steam Addition for Equilibration
Accurate reagent dispensing reduces cost per test. At the same time, a self-adjusting cooling water system saves water to further reduce cost, while long-life components ensure minimal downtime. Corrosion-free materials and alkali resistant plastic splash head/tube draining vessel secure long instrument lifetime.
