AUTOMATIC steam distilling unit connectable to an auto-titrator

Steam distilling unit completely automatic for all the operative phases with high features of reliability and safety.
Useful for determinations of ammonia nitrogen, proteic nitrogen (Kjeldahl or direct alkaline distillation), nitric nitrogen (after reduction), phenols, volatile fatty acids, cyanides, sulphur dioxide, alcohol content, etc. in cereals, food and feed, water, soil, sludges, sediments and chemicals.
The patented steam generator using deionized water allows to perform fast distillations or very slow distillations in relation with the analyzed product,it permits to obtain 100 ml of distillate in only 3 minutes without any maintenance. An automatic device reduces the consumption of cooling water.
An innovative system permits the use of test tubes with different heights or Kjeldahl flasks up to 500 ml capacity.
A safety device warns about the lack of the test tube in position, the non closure of the front protection.
Easily connectable to various models of auto-titrators, the instrument allows to obtain the final result.
All parameters required for the distillation and titration are programmable.
The access to the 20 program menus, in 5 different languages, is very simple and intuitive.
It is also possible the connection to a keyboard.
The unit can be connected to a printer or a PC for printing or recording all the data related to a performed work according to GLP (Good Laboratory Practice).

Suitable for
AOAC, EPA, DIN, ISO
