Nitrogen Analyser for Food and Feed Analysis

Next Instruments, a manufacturer and marketer of instruments for the food and agriculture markets, now offers the Velp Scientifica range of protein, fat and fibre analysers. The Velp Scientifica NDA 701 Dumas Nitrogen Analyser is a

simple to use, rapid and cost effective instrument designed to measure protein in food, grains, animal feeds and soil. The NDA701 measures Nitrogen by combustion and detection using a thermal conductivity detector. A built-in 30 cup

autosampler that can stack 4 carousels allows uninterrupted operation for up to 116 samples. Typical analysis times are 3 minutes per sample and samples up to 1 gram can be measured. The Velp DUMASoft Software is simple to use and provides complete control and data reporting.

The NDA701 uses Helium as a carrier gas to give the greatest sensitivity. The system has two in line moisture traps

to prolong the life of the oxidation tube furnace thus reducing the operating costs per test. The NDA701 is priced

well below other Dumas based analysers and is intended for use by quality assurance departments of food and feed

companies where the volume of tests requires a rapid yet automated system.
