FAQs of Kjeldahl Unit:
Q: How does the Kjeldahl Unit operate for nitrogen or protein determination?
A: The Kjeldahl Unit operates by digesting samples in heat-resistant glass tubes using controlled electric heating. The nitrogen content is converted to ammonia, which is then distilled and quantified, providing accurate measurements of nitrogen or protein in food, feed, or environmental samples.
Q: What configurations and sample capacities are available for the Kjeldahl Unit?
A: The Kjeldahl Unit is available in 3, 6, or 12 place models, accommodating various throughput requirements. It is designed to handle digestion flasks of 100ml, 300ml, or 500ml, catering to different sample sizes for a wide range of laboratory applications.
Q: When should safety features be engaged during operation?
A: Safety features such as the fume duct and safety shields should be used at all times during sample digestion and heating. These components protect operators from chemical fumes and accidental thermal exposure, ensuring a safe laboratory environment.
Q: Where is the Kjeldahl Unit commonly used?
A: This unit is widely employed in chemistry laboratories, food and feed analysis centers, and environmental or agricultural testing facilities across India and globally. Its versatility makes it suitable for educational, research, and industrial settings.
Q: What steps are involved in the Kjeldahl analysis process with this unit?
A: The process involves placing samples in digestion tubes, applying controlled heating for breakdown, distilling resulting ammonia, and then measuring it. This systematic approach yields precise nitrogen or protein content results as per the Kjeldahl method.
Q: How user-friendly is the Kjeldahl Unit for routine laboratory tasks?
A: With adjustable temperature controls, easy-to-clean glass assemblies, and straightforward sample loading, the Kjeldahl Unit is designed for efficient and user-friendly operation. Its robust construction and intuitive layout facilitate routine analyses.
