Büchi Digestion and Distillation Solutions

When it comes to nitrogen and protein determination Büchi offers state-of-the-art solutions including digestion and distillation units, autosampler, scrubber, as well as application notes. Being a leading manufacturer of such equipment for 70 years proves the company’s ability to fulfil customer requirements at any time.

Of course, requirements change over time. Robustness and ease of use have always been very important in the past and will be important features in future as well. Modern instruments come more and more with operating software that needs to be selfexplanatory and facilitate routine work in labs that test large numbers of samples. Generally speaking, customers expect to increase their sample throughput and lower cost of operation.

Customer support and making application know-how available to users is an other focus in Büchi‘s market activities. To achieve these goals it is necessary to have experts out in the field. In the most important economic regions Büchi established affiliate companies and in other regions or countries distribution partners make sure that expertise is available.

Talking about application know-how one needs to mention that traditional nitrogen and protein determination is still performed today. But digestion and distillation units can be used for many more purposes. Steam distillation, for example, is needed for determining the content of the food preservative SO2, volatile acids or alcohol content in wine or cyanide content in water/waste water. For some of the mentioned applications special accessories are required, and contribute to accurate and reproducible results.
