Nitrogen determination system

DUMATHERM

Analysis of solid and liquid samples using the combustion method according to Dumas. DUMATHERM works observing the current international standards and analytical requirements - thus meeting the required qualities.

For the majority of sample matrices, the Dumas method is a fast and reliable alternative to the classical digestion method like e.g. Kjeldahl. Now-a-days, both methods are considered equivalent reference methods. With the introduction of the manual sampler, DUMATHERM now offers a simple and cost efficient possibility of analysing a fluctuating amount of samples e.g. during the production process.

Product features

  • Only about 30 minutes start-up time when completely turned off or stand-by mode
  • Analytical results within 3 minutes for all standard sample matrices
  • Perfect results for samples with low nitrogen content thanks to helium technology and total gas analysis
  • Residue free combustion using acid-free and salt resistant catalysts without pyrolysis residues in the analytical system
  • Simple and total water separation based on condensation traps and a maintenance free gas dryer: also perfect for the liquid samples in the food and feed analysis
  • Minimal maintenance required by lab technician as the construction as well as the parts used are extremely user friendly
  • Few consumables needed ensure fast and inexpensive maintenance (Reactors can be replaced during operation)

Models available

Depending on the sample throughput and budget, there are 2 models available:

Delivery of both systems includes the same basic unit and consumables for about 400 measurements. The operation of the DUMATHERM is done entirely using the controlling software DUMATHERM Manager. This software includes efficient diagnosis- and documentation functions, which allow a complete data interpretation.
