Steam Distillation Unit SDU400

cat.#11440400

The steam distillation unit SDU and the Kjeldahl method are related since steam distillation is often a key step in the analysis of nitrogen in organic compounds using the Kjeldahl method.

Kjeldahl Method: Basics

The Kjeldahl method is a chemical method for determining the total nitrogen content in organic and some inorganic substances. It is widely used in:

• The food industry to assess protein content.
• Agriculture for analyzing fertilizers and soils.
• Feed production and pharmaceuticals.

Why is the steam distiller important?

• Accuracy of analysis: Effective distillation ensures the complete capture of ammonia, which is crucial for accurately calculating nitrogen content.
• Process acceleration: Steam distillers automate the distillation step, making the analysis faster and easier.
• Versatility: Suitable for various types of samples (food products, feed, fertilizers, soils).

Benefits:

• Operating Modes: Automatic and manual operating options for flexibility.
• Programmable Process: Allows programming of the distillation process for precise operation.
• The ability to create and save an unlimited number of programs for product analysis in accordance with the AOAC methodology.
