Automatic Kjeldahl Nitrogen Protein Analyzer

Maximum flexibility, precision and versatility for your laboratory

The UDK 149 is designed for maximum versatility and reproducible results when determining Kjeldahl nitrogen TKN, proteins, ammoniacal nitrogen, nitric nitrogen (Devarda),TVBN, sulfites, phenols, volatile acids, cyanides, and alcohol content.

UDK 149 can be used in combination with several models of external potentiometric titrators for higher sample throughput and direct output of the final result.

• Connection to various external titrators for automated processing and efficient operations
• Premium result accuracy and precision
• Programmable boric acid, water, sodium hydroxide addition
• Selectable steam generation output level 10% – 100%
• Auto removal of residues from sample tube
• Clear and intuitive operations thanks to the Smart User Interface and digital display
• Maximum safety for the operator
• Unmatched flexibility with a wide accessory range

Efficiency and precision with potentiometric titration

The automatic Kjeldahl analyzer UDK 149 connected to the external potentiometric titrator guarantees versatility, accuracy and precision.

The combination of the UDK 149 distiller with an external potentiometric titrator offers a very convenient automatization of the Kjeldahl method and enables the final result to be obtained directly with a considerable saving of time.

Your benefits:

• Potentiometric titration for high precision determination
• Modular solution to adapt to changing needs
• Efficiency

Reliability and safety for your lab

The UDK 149 is provided with the most complete set of safety features to ensure maximum operator safety. Sensors monitor tube in place, safety doors, reagent levels, cooling water flow-rate and more.

The VELP Patented Steam Generator guarantees safe working conditions working without pressure:

• Rapid pre-heating time
• High performance and resistance
• Maintenance-free
• Works with deionized water

Intuitive software ensuring ease-of-use and data management at its best

The bright 7" color touch screen and easy-to-use software guide the operator step-by-step and provide fast feedback when setting the parameters and checking the analysis results.

Grant access to instruments and data only to specific people in your organization thanks to the user management feature.

• 3 levels of authorizations and permissions according to GLP
• Onboard archive
• Distillation in series feature to speed up data entry
• Data export in .xls, .txt, .csv and maximum compatibility for LIMS

The optional barcode technology simplifies distillation data management and results calculation.
