Micro-Kjeldahl Extraction equipment has been designed for Kjeldahl extraction on a micro scale to determine the protein content of food. These multibank units have 6 recesses in a stainless steel outer casing with back-mounted brackets (supplied with each unit), which can hold support rods of 12.7mm diamter max. This 6 recess model accommodates flasks of between 18 to 50ml. Each heating mantle has it own energy regulator incorporating an On/Off switch and a "Mains to Heater" amber neon indicator. There is also a "Mains On" clear neon indicator on the front panel.
The lower part of the unit houses dedicated controllers for each recess. This "cool zone" housing is separated from the heating elements by a stainless steel screen and a well-ventilated air space. The heating element consists of thermally insulated element wire stitched into a cartridge, and operates up to a temperature range of 550°C to 800°C maximum.
The MM Micro-Kjeldahl Equipment models incorporate an earth screen to protect the user from electric shocks and are double-fused for extra safety. The rugged stainless steel outer casing is durable and easy to clean.
