Description
The DKL Series from VELP Scientific, Inc. is a line of fully automatic digestion units. Designed for Kjeldahl analysis and other digestion protocols, these systems handle liquid, solid, and semi-solid samples. Applications include food and feed testing, environmental analysis, and pharmaceutical quality control. Key components include an aluminum heating block, an automated mechanism to lift samples, an integrated suction hood, a test tube rack, and a drip tray. Operation is managed via a programmable control interface, which provides access to a library of pre-set methods and allows for the creation of user-defined protocols. This automation enables unattended operation, improving laboratory throughput and safety by minimizing manual handling of hot digestion tubes. The series includes several models (DKL 8, DKL 12, DKL 20, DKL 42/26) with varying capacities and dimensions. The systems are designed to operate at temperatures up to 450 °C (842 °F) and are built to comply with relevant international analytical standards.
