BUCHI - Kjeldahl Distillation

BUCHI’s versatile solutions for digestion and steam distillation cover a broad range of applications. Maximized productivity is thereby essential, whether it is classical protein determination according to Kjeldahl, reflux digestion with aqua regia, or direct distillation of steam-volatile compounds.

We provide solutions for both potentiometric and colorimetric titrations. The KjelMaster K-375 meets the highest demands in usability, automation, user administration and sophisticated data management.

Established and proven

Kjeldahl is the most established reference method for protein determination in food, beverage, feed and forage. It commonly serves as reference for NIR calibrations.
It is compliant with all sorts of national and international regulations such as AOAC, ISO, DIN, LFGB and many more.

Versatile

Changing matrices or highly heterogeneous samples are easily handled by Kjeldahl.
It copes with just a few samples per day or with a high throughput of up to 120 samples in a shift thanks to a flexible autosampler concept.
Acid digestion and steam distillation can be applied for the determination of various analytes such as N-containing compounds, COD, heavy metals, hydroxyproline, SO2, formaldehyde, CN, diacetyl, alcohol, TVBN, volatile acids, phenols etc.

For every budget

Our broad portfolio offers entry-level Kjeldahl products up to highly sophisticated fully automated systems. 

Available models

  • Compliant and flexible plug-and-measure titration concept (colorimetric / potentiometric)
  • Safe operation, user protection and guided routine operation
  • Different access levels of authorization according to GLP requirements
  • Reproducible results with the smart distillation mode “IntelliDist”
  • Data security supported by intelligent software

 Proven

Perform Kjeldahl nitrogen or protein determination and additional steam distillation in the most flexible way. The modular setup allows to adapt the KjelFlex K-360 at any time including a wide selection of titrators to guarantee smooth and easy operation.

  • Customizable analysis methods for multi-purpose use
