About Kjeldahl Apparatus Labcare
Labcare Instruments And International Services - Ambala Cantt-133001 Haryana. India
Open Combination and Hooded Combination Kjeldahl units have digestion and distillation components for nitrogen determination in one space-saving apparatus.
Open Combination Kjeldahl units are supported by a sturdy, tubular steel framework, with the distillation apparatus mounted above the digestion portion. Models are available with the capacity to digest and distill up to 12 samples at a time (Six-Place Open Combination Kjeldahl unit shown).
Hooded Combination Kjeldahl units enclose the distillation and digestion apparatus so that process heat may be contained and vented from the laboratory. The hood surrounding the apparatus includes three collars: one for remotely-located acid exhaust blower connection, one for hood heat exhaust blower connection, and one for auxiliary-air blower inlet connection. Models are available that digest and distill up to 18 samples at one time.
Kjeldahl units require a remote blower to exhaust fumes.
Efficient Nitrogen and Protein AnalysisThe Labcare Kjeldahl Apparatus streamlines nitrogen estimation, an essential step for protein analysis in laboratories. It features up to 12 individually controlled heating mantles with variable heat settings for unparalleled accuracy. The units asbestos-free insulation and robust exhaust duct ensure safety through optimal heat management and efficient fume removal. Its manual controls allow scientists to adjust temperature precisely for each sample, making it ideal for routine and research testing.
Durability and User-Friendly DesignEngineered with a mild steel body and powder-coating, the apparatus resists corrosion from chemicals, ensuring a long lifespan. The inclusion of borosilicate glass digestion tubes and heat-resistant insulation further enhances safety and durability. With easy-to-clean components and an adjustable rack system, this apparatus is designed for both everyday use and high-throughput demands, all while maintaining superior laboratory-grade accuracy.
FAQs of Kjeldahl Apparatus Labcare:
Q: How is nitrogen estimated using the Kjeldahl Apparatus Labcare models?
A: Nitrogen estimation is performed by digesting samples in borosilicate glass tubes with concentrated acids using precisely controlled heating mantles. Ammonia generated through this process is then distilled and measured, providing accurate quantification of nitrogen content in a wide range of samples.
Q: What types of laboratories benefit most from this apparatus?
A: This Kjeldahl Apparatus is ideal for research, academic, food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural laboratories where accurate nitrogen and protein analysis is essential. Its robust features and versatile capacity make it suitable for both routine and advanced laboratory settings.
Q: When should I use the 6-mantle versus the 12-mantle model?
A: The 6-mantle model (Labcare-LCKJ-06) is best suited for smaller labs or low-throughput analyses, while the 12-mantle (Labcare-LCKJ-12) model is ideal for higher workloads, allowing simultaneous digestion of multiple samples and improving time efficiency.
Q: Where should the Kjeldahl Apparatus be installed for optimal safety and performance?
A: It should be installed in a well-ventilated laboratory area, preferably under a fume hood or near an exhaust system to ensure safe removal of gases. The apparatus comes with its own exhaust/fume duct to enhance operator safety during use.
Q: What safety features does Labcare ensure with this equipment?
A: Safety is prioritized with thermal insulation, chemical-resistant paint, and heavy-duty wiring and plugs. Its asbestos-free insulation, robust construction, and reliable exhaust features all contribute to a safe working environment.
Q: How easy is it to control and maintain each heating mantle?
A: Each heating mantle operates independently with its own variable energy regulator, enabling precise temperature management for individual samples. The removable digestion tube rack and easy-to-clean design simplify maintenance.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this Kjeldahl Apparatus?
A: The main benefits include high accuracy in nitrogen determination, efficient fume removal, flexibility for varying workloads, durable construction, and user-friendly operation with individual temperature controls for each test unit.
