Description
Kjeldahl distillation unit KJELTECH 9 Foss Denmark
The Kjeltec™ 9 Distillator is a distillation unit designed primarily for automated protein analysis following the Kjeldahl method but can be widely used for many different distillation purposes. The solution is perfect for laboratories running a low to medium volume of daily samples and using many different distillation methods.
Safe and easy operations
Ensure safe operations with FOSS pioneered SAfE* mode for safe distillation of samples that form salt cakes and bellow pumps for accurate reagent dispensing. A variable output steam generator broadens the application area to other volatile components.
*Steam Addition for Equilibration
