Beschrijving
Deze tweedehands automatische Kjeldahl analyser, Foss Tecator Kjeltec 2400/2460 KT is recentelijk aangekocht. De Kjeltec 2400 analyseert volledig automatisch Kjeldahl stikstof/eiwit en ammonium in monsters. Het systeem is afkomstig van een in 2018 gesloten Nederlands biomedisch laboratorium. Het werd laatst onderhouden op 20 november 2017 door de officiele dealer. Nadien is het niet meer intensief gebruikt. Desondanks bieden we het systeem uitsluitend als spare parts aan. Reden is dat we niet de beschikking hebben over de software en het instrument dan ook niet kunnen testen. Daarnaast ondersteund Foss deze instrumenten niet meer waardoor het moeilijk zal zijn om reserve onderdelen te bestellen en/of onderhoud te krijgen. Een nieuw systeem kost meer dan 40000 euro.
Verdere beschrijving (in het Engels):
The Kjeltec™ 2400 Auto Analyzer Unit and the Kjeltec 2400 Sampler System are the ultimate solutions for automation in the routine Kjeldahl laboratory. The analyser unit is dedicated to production of accurate results. GLP routines are supported by sample ID, LIMS/Balance connection, Recovery Test routines and complete documentation of all events during analysis. Accurate bellows pumps and a high-precision refillable burette give long term stability in reagent delivery. A distillate temperature sensor stops the unit if there is a risk of inaccurate results. The Kjeltec 2400 sets new standards in safety for Kjeldahl analysis; sensors for tube in place, safety door, front hood, sampler door, reagent level, plus level and overpressure for the steam generator. The SAfE* technology reduces the exothermic reaction between alkali and acid. There is no need for manual predilution of samples. A fast tube draining system removes the need for handling hot reagents after distillation. The internal part of the sampler can be flushed with water for cleaning. Running costs are low through optimized applications. Downtime and service costs are minimized using selected components and a service mode in the software. Surfaces exposed to reagents are made of corrosion-free, chemicalresistant dyed plastic materials.
Features & Benefits:
- Automatic distillation procedure, incl. sample dilution, alkali and receiver addition, distillation, titration, calculation, reporting and tube draining.
- Officially approved colorimetric titration system (AOAC, EPA, DIN, ISO etc) simplifies validation.
- Fully unattended analysis of 60 samples.
- Alarms for reagent availability to eliminate errors.
- Accurate dispensing of reagents improves precision.
- Active built-in safety systems for user protection.
- Steam Addition for Equilibration* (SAfE) feature for safe distilling of tubes with acid/salt cake contents.
- Corrosion-resistant instrument materials.
- Alkali resistant plastic splash head/tube draining vessel for long life-time.
- Connection to LIMS and balance eliminates transcription errors.
- Software in English, French, Spanish, German, etc.
- Interchangeable burette for easy switching of titrant strengths.
- Weighing Terminal (option) eliminates sample registration errors and saves time.
