N/PROTEIN DETERMINATION AT MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY | DUMAS COMBUSTION METHOD

Total nitrogen/protein determination in food and feed matrices is a routine analysis for several testing and food processor labs, as it is part of the labeling process and QC testing.

With the NDA 702 Dumas Nitrogen Elemental Analyzer, the determination is performed in a single step, ensuring higher productivity and better workflow.

The Dumas nitrogen/protein determination method is dramatically faster, easier, and safer than a traditional Kjeldahl system. It applies to any solid, semi-solid, and liquid samples, with the possibility for the operator to easily process different batches of samples simultaneously and completely unattended. Elemental analyzers such as the VELP NDA 702 ensure at the same time a low cost per sample and the highest accuracy and precision of results.

TRUSTED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS

In QC/QA of food and food testing laboratories, fast delivery of results and high throughput are key factors. The need for analytical instrumentation to be flexible, versatile, and productive is of utmost importance.

Lab managers always look to seamlessly integrate automated processes and quick turnaround times into their workflows to enhance operational efficiency and tackle diverse challenges with agility and precision. 

VELP NDA 702 has been designed to address those specific needs and, in addition, with simultaneous loading of multiple samples ensures handling a greater volume of samples without compromising accuracy, meeting tight timelines, and delivering timely insights.

INDUSTRIES AND APPLICATIONS - FOOD & FEED

From the arrival of the sample to the printout of the analytical results, a modern NDA 702 Dumas analyzer only requires a few minutes, saving more than 30% of the time in the working day compared to an automated Kjeldahl solution for the nitrogen and protein determination in a great variety of samples: 

▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in dairy products (milk, cheese and derived products)
▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in cereals and grains (wheat, oats, barley, malt, rice, rye, soybeans, etc.) 
▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in meat (bacon, ham, sausage, liver patè, etc.)
▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in bread and baked products
▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in nuts and nut products (almonds, coconuts, peanuts, etc.) 
▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in plants (vegetables, forage, straw, seeds, tea, etc.)
▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in pasta 
▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in yeast
▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in oil seeds 
▶ Nitrogen and protein determination in animal feed and pet food
