The Borosil KDI050 Kjeldahl distillation unit is a reliable and cost-effective solution for determining nitrogen and protein content across a variety of industries, including food, feed, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and soil testing. Compliant with standard steam distillation protocols, it supports analyses like ammoniacal nitrogen, nitric nitrogen (after reduction), protein determination, and alcohol content measurement.
Designed for comfort and efficiency, the KDI050 features automatic operations for dilution, alkali/acid/steam addition, and test tube drainage. The robust FRP construction ensures resistance to corrosion, while its compact footprint saves critical bench space in busy labs. The 7-inch color touchscreen interface enables straightforward method setup, quick-start functionality, and real-time monitoring of process parameters.
The unit provides precise control with adjustable steam regulation (10–100%) and includes several safety features such as a process kill switch, tube damage detection, reagent level sensors, and SELV protection. With a nitrogen recovery of over 99.5%, the KDI050 ensures high accuracy and reproducibility while eliminating the need for constant supervision. An inbuilt N/protein calculator further enhances its operational ease and productivity.
