The products described here can be combined to match individual needs, from units capable of handling just a few samples a day up to fully automated systems for high sample throughput. Three configurations - Auto Lift, Auto Rack, and Basic - are available for either 400 ml, 250 ml or 100 ml digestion tubes; which must be specified when ordering, depending on the application required.
A Digestion System is based on a Digestion Unit and tube rack with capacity for either 8, 20 or 40 tubes. For most Kjeldahl digestions straight 250 ml tubes are recommended. To comply with GLP and Health & Safety requirements we recommend that all Digestion Units are used with an Exhaust Manifold or Reflux Head, and are located in a fume cupboard. An optional Scrubber Unit creates a fully integrated system.
The Digestion Units are insulated to minimise heat transfer to the surroundings and allow fast, even heating, thus giving good working conditions as well as saving energy. They are designed for batches of either 8, 20 or 40 test tubes with three different levels of control. The 40 position digestion block is available for the 100 ml tubes only.
