Product catalog summary
Overview: The DUMAThERM® is an automated system for rapid and precise nitrogen determination using the Dumas method. It efficiently analyzes both solid and liquid samples, delivering results in three minutes.
Specifications: The system accommodates sample sizes from 0.5 mg to 1 g and can process up to 64 samples automatically. It uses helium or argon as carrier gases, with oxygen and compressed air or nitrogen required. The detection limit is 0.003 mg N, with a standard deviation of less than 0.5%.
Procedures: The DUMAThERM® employs catalytic combustion at high temperatures to convert nitrogen oxides to elemental nitrogen. The process is fully automated and managed by the DUMAThERM® Manager software, which logs all parameters.
Features: Equipped with a thermal conductivity detector, the system ensures precise nitrogen measurement. It includes a flexible calibration system and robust software for data management and traceability, suitable for applications in food, animal feed, and environmental samples.
Efficiency and Safety: Designed for low operating costs and minimal maintenance, the DUMAThERM® features a closed system for safe operation without an extractor, along with automated safety checks and maintenance alerts.
Accessories and Maintenance: The DumaSet® consumables package and other accessories support long-term operation and cost control. Regular maintenance involves visual inspections, calibration, leak testing, and software updates.
Applications: The system analyzes proteins in matrices such as milk, cereals, meat, and environmental samples like soil and water, complying with international standards for accredited laboratories.
Introduction: C. Gerhardt GmbH & Co. KG offers advanced automated laboratory analysis systems that streamline recurring analysis processes, ensuring precise, reproducible results efficiently and economically.
Qualification and Maintenance: The company provides Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) according to manufacturer specifications, with customized maintenance and service contracts available through authorized partners.
Automated Systems Overview:
  • Hydrolysis: The HYDROTHERM system automates acid hydrolysis for fat determination, ideal when combined with SOXTHERM® for total fat analysis.
  • Fat Extraction: SOXTHERM® offers fast, automatic fat extraction.
  • Water Steam Distillation: VAPODEST® is used for rapid distillation in Kjeldahl nitrogen/protein determination and sample preparation.
  • Crude Fibre Extraction: FIBRETHERM® automates boiling and filtration processes for crude fibre, ADF, and NDF determination.
Conclusion: C. Gerhardt's products automate standard analyses, ensuring quality and efficiency in laboratory settings.

RAPID PROTEIN ANALYSIS A particularly high degree of precision is required when determining the protein content of foods and animal feeds. One of the standard techniques used for this purpose is the Dumas method. This involves combustion of the sample material at high temperatures and, in the presence of a metallic copper surface, reduction of the nitrogen oxide...

This significantly shortens the analysis process and the reference result is available in just three minutes. Helium technology and total gas analysis mean that even small samples with low nitrogen content can be accurately analysed. In addition, the sample sizes required reduce gas and energy consumption,...
