Product catalog summary
Overview: The Electrothermal Catalogue provides detailed information on Macro and Micro-Kjeldahl equipment used for protein content analysis in food. The equipment is designed for both macro and micro-scale Kjeldahl extraction, featuring multi-mantles with 2 or 6 positions that heat to ultra-high temperatures.
Macro-Kjeldahl Equipment (MQ Series):
  • Designed for macro-scale Kjeldahl extraction.
  • Available in models with 2 or 6 recesses.
  • Stainless steel construction with back-mounted brackets for support rods.
  • Two volume sizes: 100-300ml and 500-800ml.
  • Each heating mantle has an energy regulator with On/Off switch and indicators.
  • Temperature range: 550°C to 800°C.
  • Double-fused for safety, except MQ3868B/E model.
Micro-Kjeldahl Equipment (MM Series):
  • Designed for micro-scale Kjeldahl extraction.
  • 6 recesses accommodating flasks of 18-50ml capacity.
  • Stainless steel construction with back-mounted brackets for support rods.
  • Each heating position has an energy regulator with On/Off switch and indicators.
  • Temperature range: 550°C to 800°C.
  • Double-fused for safety.
Technical Specifications:
  • Heating element temperature: 550°C - 800°C.
  • Case material: Stainless steel.
  • Thermal insulation: Ceramic fibre/mineral wool.
  • Models available with different electrical requirements and dimensions.
Kjeldahl Method for Protein Content:
  • Involves heating a substance with sulphuric acid to decompose organic matter and liberate nitrogen as ammonium sulphate.
  • Distillation with sodium hydroxide converts ammonium salt to ammonia.
  • Ammonia is captured and quantified through back titration.
  • Recognized internationally for its precision and reproducibility in estimating protein content.
