UDK 169 with AutoKjel Autosampler – Automatic Kjeldahl Nitrogen Protein Analyzer
Fully automatic distillation and titration for Kjeldahl protein determination, Non-Protein Nitrogen (NPN),
volatiles and more. Connection to autosampler for high sample throughput, maximum flexibility and unattended operation.
The UDK 159 is designed for high-throughput laboratories looking for precise and reproducible results of Kjeldahl nitrogen TKN, proteins, ammoniacal nitrogen, nitric nitrogen (Devarda), TVBN, sulfites, phenols, volatile acids, cyanides, and alcohol content.
UDK 169 used in combination with the AutoKjel autosampler, for a highly productive system is capable of autonomously processing up to 24 samples with standard test tubes (250 ml) or 21 Jumbo test tubes (400 ml).
Sample tubes are taken from the carousel and fed directly into UDK 169 for further processing and reliable results, allowing the user to operate in complete safety and with extreme ease, without requiring an attendant.
The UDK 169 & AutoKjel Kjeldahl analyzer is developed for continuous operation, providing the maximum sample throughput and data processing automation.
The automatic Kjeldahl analyzer UDK 159 colorimetric titrator guarantees accuracy, precision, and a long lifetime.
With a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.015 mgN and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.04 mgN, UDK 159 is perfect even for challenging analyses with samples containing a low amount of Nitrogen.
The system relies on a colorimetric measurement of a chemical reaction with automatic endpoint detection.
VELP colorimetric titrator benefits:
The UDK 159 allows to constantly monitor the titration with the real-time graph displayed on the instruments.
The UDK 159 features the unique VELP patented titanium condenser designed for efficient thermal exchange and low water consumption.
The distillate temperature is always kept below the Kjeldahl threshold value (35 °C), as indicated in the Kjeldahl method, without nitrogen loss.
The exclusive VELP Technopolymer Splash Head incorporated in the UDK 159 is designed for high throughput providing state-of-the-art durability and resistance.
The UDK 159 is provided with the most complete set of safety features to ensure maximum operator safety. Sensors monitor tube in place, safety doors, reagent levels, cooling water flow-rate and more.
The VELP Patented Steam Generator guarantees safe working conditions working without pressure:
The optional barcode technology simplifies distillation data management and results calculation.
The UDK 159 software can be upgraded with the optional 21 CFR Part 11 Package for Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic and Food industry laboratories that require compliance with FDA regulation.
UDK 159 features the unique connection option via Wi-Fi or LAN to VELP Ermes Cloud Platform, the Smart Lab solution allowing you to reduce routine operations thanks to the real-time monitoring of your Kjeldahl analysis wherever you are, at any time.
Just by using a PC, a Smartphone or a Tablet you can manage multiple instruments, consumables, workflows, analysis data, and instrument working conditions.
Immediate event and alarm notifications inform you about analyses and the remote analysis interruption guarantees total control of your laboratory processes.
Grant access to instruments and data only to specific people in your organization and decide whether you like to share information directly with VELP or with authorized service centers to benefit from a reduced diagnostic time and enhanced service support.
Nitrogen determination at high throughput gets to a new level with VELP Ermes Cloud Platform.
