Introducing the new KS 1000 Scrubber from VELP Scientifica
Safeguard your Kjeldahl digestions

Gas scrubbing has long been recognized as a critical component of Kjeldahl analysis to avoid instrument corrosion and prevent the formation of an unhealthy working environment. VELP Scientifica presents its latest solution: the new KS 1000 Scrubber, designed to set new standards for laboratory safety and personnel protection.
The Kjeldahl method is a reliable technique widely adopted for the determination of nitrogen/protein in various samples.
The Kjeldahl method involves, as the first step of analysis, the digestion of organic samples in concentrated sulfuric acid. This process converts nitrogen-containing compounds into ammonium sulfate, which is then distilled and quantified by titration. While the Kjeldahl method provides valuable insights into numerous applications, it also produces toxic gases that need to be neutralized.
To mitigate these risks, and to protect personnel from exposure to harmful gases and prevent contamination of the laboratory environment, effective gas scrubbing techniques have become an integral part of Kjeldahl analysis.
Gas scrubbers are designed to trap and neutralize hazardous gases before they are released into the atmosphere, thus enabling the laboratory to meet strict safety regulations and ensure compliance with environmental standards.
