Key Features

1. Alkalization Unit:

Composed of an absorption head with plug and aeration head, ensuring proper handling of ammonia during the distillation process.

2. Simultaneous Determinations:

A number of nitrogen determinations can be performed simultaneously, optimizing time and resources in a laboratory setting.

3. Steam of Air System:

Ammonia is introduced into the system using a continuous stream of air, which can be drawn through the tubes using an ordinary filter pump. This method ensures effective separation and collection of ammonia.

4. Test Tube Digestion and Distillation:

Both digestion and distillation processes are carried out in the same test tube, simplifying operations and improving efficiency.

5. Compact Design:

The system is designed for micro-scale analysis, making it ideal for laboratories with limited space.
