Elementar – N/Protein Analysis
The determination of the total protein content is an essential tool for quality control and protein declaration according to international labeling laws in the food & feed industry and research facilities. Since the protein content can directly correspond to product properties, highly precise, matrix-independent protein analyses are required in all application areas.
Elementar’s N/protein analyzers use the high-temperature combustion method according to Dumas, which has clear advantages over Kjeldahl regarding laboratory safety, sample throughput, labor time, amount of chemical waste and thus cost-per-analysis.
Key Features
- Lowest cost per sample
- Inexpensive CO2 as carrier gas
- EAS REDUCTOR® for up to 2,000 samples
- Fastest analysis (3-4 min.)
- 300 measurements per day
- Ease of use
Available Models
Technical Specifications
| High temperature combustion | Dumas combustion method for N-Protein acc. to AOAC, DIN/ISO, EN and many international standards |
| Large weighing range | Up to 1 g sample weight (1g organic matter) |
| Concentration range | from ppm to 100% or 500 mg N abs. |
| Clean, safe, fast | The analysis only takes a few minutes, no aggressive or toxic chemicals are used, CO2 as intelligent carrier gas |
| Easy installation requirements | 48 x 55 cm benchtop space, 1 power supply (230, 110, 100 V), and two gases are sufficient for maintenance free long time operation |
| Multipoint calibration | stable over months and matrix independent |
| Instrument control | with a standard PC for perfect results also for unknown or heavily variable sample matrices, 21 CFR Part 11 functionality available. Possibility for remote service due to full digitalization of the instrument electronics |
Faster, more precise, cost-saving, and eco-friendly. The rapid N exceed sets new standards in protein analysis according to the Dumas method. With our patent pending EAS REGAINER® technology, analysis costs are minimized drastically. At the same time, the number of samples that can be measured continuously multiplies. The new rapid N exceed stands for absolute precision and high detection sensitivity.
