NSAW 500 ml, 250 ml Kjeldahl Distillation Unit for 6 Test

The NSAW Kjeldahl Distillation Unit for 6 tests is a specialized laboratory apparatus designed for performing Kjeldahl nitrogen determination. Kjeldahl distillation is a widely used method for determining the nitrogen content in organic compounds, particularly in protein analysis.

In this setup, the distillation unit is configured to simultaneously process six samples for nitrogen determination. The Kjeldahl method involves digesting the sample with concentrated sulfuric acid and a catalyst, which converts organic nitrogen compounds into ammonium sulfate. The distillation step then involves heating the digestate, causing the ammonia to be released as a gas. This gas is then collected and condensed in a receiving solution, typically boric acid, forming ammonium borate.

The NSAW Kjeldahl Distillation Unit for 6 tests is likely equipped with multiple heating mantles or blocks, individual distillation apparatus for each sample, condensers, and a collection system for the distillate. It may also include safety features and controls to ensure accurate and efficient distillation processes.
