WORKING PRINCIPLE

Once the sample is digested and ready for distillation, load it into the DNP distiller and choose the required program. The equipment adds the selected reagents in the exact quantity and the analyte is separated by steam distillation. At first it is evaporated and then it condenses falling into the receiver flask. In the next step nitrogen content is accurately determined through titration and results are exported into your PC.
To save water, the steam generator and the water refrigeration circuit are only activated during distillation.
Once the distillation is completed, the residue left in the sample tube is aspired and removed.

The combination of the DNP-2000-MP distiller with the TITRA-RAY external titrator offers a unique, economic and very effective automatization of the Kjeldahl method by transferring samples, carrying out fast distillations, executing accurate analyte titrations and proper results registry in one solution.
