Provide reproducible and reliable digestions for analysis
- Perform digestions of aqueous samples for metals analysis by Atomic Absorption or Inductively Coupled Plasma
- Conduct Kjeldahl digestion of food products or plant tissue for nitrogen & phosphorous analysis
- Free up valuable time by diges
Eliminate the need for repetitive small batch digestions with this compact block digestion system. This system can handle sample batches of 28 or 50 at a time. Run your digest overnight and have a full batch of digested samples ready for analysis at the start of the next day. The temperature of each digestion position is tightly regulated and controlled, providing you the assurance that all the samples in each batch are digested equally. Store up to twenty different programs, each with up to thirty steps, for automating the most complex digestion procedures, allowing reproducibility from batch to batch, operator to operator. Controlled heating rates, as low as 1°C per minute, protect against the bumping and splattering of reactive samples.
A built in safety cut-out feature within the controller is triggered automatically if the programmed temperature is exceeded by 30°C or if the maximum temperature is exceeded. The controller is separate from the digestion block, protecting the electronics and the operator from any digest acid fumes. Apart from the power and reagents, this block digestion system has no ongoing consumable costs and does not use any limited life components. This system is available as a 50 place unit for 75mL or 100mL digestion tubes or a 28 place unit for 250mL digestion tubes.
What’s included: microprocessor controller, digestion block, tube rack, draft shield, set of digestion tubes, and (2) 9-ft power cords with plugs.
