Foss has announced the Kjeltec 8000 series, a range of solutions for Kjeldahl analysis providing network facilities for improved traceability.
The Kjeltec range, with a fully automatic Kjeltec 8400 analyser and smaller 8100 and 8200 distillation units, offer features to make laboratory operations more flexible.
With the Kjeltec 8400 model, samples can be registered via a PC connected to the instrument.
A mouse click sends the batch to the analyser.
The instrument can also be connected to the laboratory network using software that integrates the instrument into the client's Lims system.
In this case, sample weights are automatically entered and all the information needed for reporting is in one place.
The range provides a raft of facilities for safer and more efficient operations.
A titration module simplifies change of titrant, removes air, and ensures automatic cleaning of the titration vessel after each batch.
Other features include: intelligent water cooling for minimal consumption; a variable output steam generator providing flexibility to analyse volatile parameters other than nitrogen; a choice of 20- or 60-place auto sampler extending the benefits of automation to large and small organisations alike, even at lower sample throughputs; and auto sampler options allowing multiple tests to be run with no sample transfer and completely unattended for more than four hours.
All models in the Kjeltec 8000 series offer ongoing support, a wide choice of validated applications according to official standards and training by experienced personnel.
The 8200 auto distillation unit can be upgraded to the 8400 analyser and even to the auto sampler versions.
This enables clients to spread investment over time and increase analytical capacity to mirror business growth.
The Kjeldahl method is a technique for nitrogen analysis.
It is the only method that can be used for analysis of nitrogen content in samples with high diversity.
The Kjeltec series is designed to attain the best possible accuracy and precision.
