Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed description of the Kjeldahl method for nitrogen determination, which is crucial for calculating protein content in various materials. It introduces the BEGER steam distillation units (SDU series) designed for this purpose, highlighting their features and applications in food analysis.
Specifications: The SDU series includes models SDU 100, 200, 300, and 400, each with varying levels of automation and features. Key specifications include automatic sodium hydroxide and water dispensing, a 7-inch multi-touch screen, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a distillation time of 5 minutes for 100 ml. The units operate at 2100 W and are made from high-quality stainless steel AISI 304 for corrosion resistance.
Features: The SDU units offer energy, time, space, and cost savings. They are equipped with a transparent door for process observation, remote control capabilities, and audio-visual alerts. The units can operate independently or with infrared digestion units (IDU).
Infrared Digestion Units (IDU): The IDU series is designed for the "wet" combustion of samples, enhancing the speed of analysis through infrared heating. These units allow for customizable programs and are equipped with a microprocessor-based controller and a 5-inch color display. They support remote diagnostics and software updates via WiFi.
Scrubbers: The SWP scrubber is designed for the removal and neutralization of toxic vapors during the digestion process. It features a double neutralization system and is compact, environmentally secure, and water-saving.
Applications: The equipment is suitable for determining various nitrogen forms, phenols, volatile fatty acids, and alcohol content in food analysis. The document emphasizes the reliability, security, and user-friendliness of the BEGER apparatus.

PROTEIN DETERMINATION The Kjeldahl method is a method for the fast quantitative determination of nitrogen in chemical substances developed by a Danish chemist Johan Kjeldahl in 1883. The Kjeldahl method of nitrogen analysis is the most accurate worldwide standard for calculating the protein content in a wide variety of materials ranging from human and animal food, beverages, grain, wastewater, soil and fossil fuels. DISTILLATION UNITS The BEGER assessing the needs and capabilities of the customers has designed a range of apparatus for steam distillation with different functional range and price...

Scrubbers Scrubber SWP is designed for removal and further neutralization of toxic vapours and gases generated during digestion process. The acid vapors pass through a two-stage neutralization (NaOH and H2O). Vapours are removed using a vacuum pump built into the scrubber, which extracts the gas and directs it to the alkali, where the steam/gas is neutralized, then it undergoes additional cleaning with water. Water saving – no requirement for a connection to the water supply when using SWP! Double neutralization of aggressive vapours Effective cleaning Water saving Compact size Environmental...
