KJELDAHL APPARATUS MACRO - 500 ML

What is a Kjeldahl apparatus?

The Kjeldahl apparatus is essential laboratory equipment for the determination of nitrogen content in organic samples. This method, known as the Kjeldahl method, is widely used in the food, agricultural and chemical industries to analyse the amount of protein present in foods, fertilisers and other products. The process involves digestion, distillation and titration of the sample, allowing an accurate measurement of total nitrogen.

How is the Kjeldahl apparatus used?

The procedure starts with the digestion of the sample in sulphuric acid, where the organic nitrogen is converted into ammonia. The ammonia is then distilled and captured in an acid solution, where it is finally titrated to determine the amount of nitrogen. The Kjeldahl apparatus is designed to perform these steps efficiently and accurately, guaranteeing reliable results.

Applications of the Kjeldahl apparatus

The Kjeldahl apparatus is indispensable for laboratories performing protein analysis, such as in the food industry for nutritional labelling, in agriculture for soil quality and in chemistry for product quality control. Its accuracy and reliability make it an essential tool for accurate nitrogen determination.
