UDK 159 Automatic Kjeldahl Analyzer

April 30, 2024

VELP

The UDK 159 Automatic Kjeldahl Analyzer is a piece of laboratory equipment used for determining nitrogen content in organic compounds, particularly in samples like food, soil, and wastewater. The Kjeldahl method involves digesting the sample with concentrated sulfuric acid, which converts nitrogen into ammonium sulfate. Then, this ammonium sulfate is distilled and the ammonia produced is captured in a known volume of acid, which can be titrated to determine the nitrogen content.

The UDK 159 automates this process, making it more efficient and accurate compared to manual methods. It typically includes features such as automated sample digestion, distillation, titration, and result calculation. These analyzers are often used in various industries such as food and beverage, environmental testing, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture for quality control, research, and regulatory compliance purposes.

Mixer Mill MM 400

April 29, 2024

The Mixer Mill MM 400 is a true multipurpose mill designed for dry, wet and cryogenic grinding of small volumes up to 2 x 20 ml. It mixes and homogenizes powders and suspensions with a frequency of 30 Hz within seconds – unbeatably fast and easy to operate.

The compact benchtop unit is suitable for classic homogenization processes, as well as for biological cell disruption for DNA/RNA and protein extraction. Long processing times up to 99 hours make the MM 400 ideally suited for research applications, for example in mechanochemistry.

With regard to performance and flexibility of this mill, there is no equivalent technology available in the market.

You may also be interested in the mixer mill models MM 500 nano and MM 500 vario which operate with the same functional principle at a frequency of 35 Hz but provide substantially higher performance. For applications which require cooling or heating the sample, the Mixer Mill MM 500 control is the perfect choice. Each RETSCH mixer mill has a specific application focus.

PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN

Powerful size reduction and homogenization by impact and friction with up to 30 Hz
Equipped with 2 grinding stations for up to 20 samples per run
Memory for 12 Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and 6 program cycles
Convenient touch display, significant noise reduction

UNMATCHED VERSATILITY

3 different grinding modes: dry, wet or cryogenic
Mixes powdered sample and binder in plastic vessels prior to pelletizing, e. g. for XRF analysis
Suitable for research applications such as mechanochemistry or for biological cell disruption by bead beating Extraction of pesticides (QuEChERS) and herbal ingredients

This functionality is particularly suitable for:

  • Testing labs with different locations
  • Accredited labs applying ISO/IEC 17025 or ISO 9000ff
  • Pharmaceutical products
