Distillation units provide accurate and highly reproducible results with an excellent recovery rate, with applications including the classical nitrogen and protein determination
Buchi presents the K-350 and K-355 distillation units, the latest innovations of a wide range of Kjeldahl and distillation instruments.
These state-of-the-art units provide accurate and highly reproducible results with an excellent recovery rate, says the company.
They can be used for a variety of applications in analytical labs, in food and beverage, feed, agricultural, environmental, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
These applications also include the classical nitrogen and protein determination (Kjeldahl, Devarda, TKN) in accordance with official methods, such as AOAC, EPA, ISO and DIN.
The K-350 and the K-355 are based on proven technology and feature a robust and compact design using minimal space in the laboratory.
The keyboard and the clearly readable LCD are user-friendly accessories.
Error codes (eg door open) are displayed on the LCD.
The K-355 offers additional comfort by storing and recalling nine different, customer specific methods.
Safety in laboratories is a very important issue today.
Therefore, it is one of the top priorities for Buchi to offer safe analytical instruments.
Up-to-date monitoring technique ensures safe operation of the distillation units.
The K-350 is the easy-to-use Kjeldahl distillation unit for the classical nitrogen and protein determination in accordance with official methods.
In addition to the classical applications, the K-355 can be used for an extended range of official distillation methods, including methods with regulated steam output or methods requiring the dosage of strong acids.
A reliable and acid-resistant pump enables the automatic addition of strong acids.
Examples of additional applications on the K-355 are alcohol distillation, phenol distillation, the determination of sulphur dioxide or the determination of volatile acids.
Buchi has been a pioneer in the development of instruments related to distillation applications (including Kjeldahl), from the use of the first steam generator in a Kjeldahl apparatus to the revolutionary new steam sample transfer mechanism.
