Featured Solutions
Oxidation Stability
The oxidation stability tests performed with the OXITEST reactor accelerate the lipid’s oxidation process that in normal conditions can last weeks or months and provide fast, accurate and reliable results for Food & Feed, Cosmetic, Pharma and Petrochemical industries.
Elemental Analyzers
VELP Scientifica’s elemental analyzers are ideal solutions for the determination of carbon and nitrogen in compliance with the combustion method for testing of both solid and liquid samples.
A versatile and cloud-enabled Dumas protein/ nitrogen analyzer, the NDA 702 is able to perform precise nitrogen analysis and protein determination using either Helium or Argon as carrier gas.
The CN 802 a robust and flexible combustion analyzer that works in accordance with official reference methods for the determination of carbon and nitrogen in many industrial sectors such as agriculture, environmental, food and feed, and chemical.
VELP Scientifica offers a wide range of high performance consumables for routine operation and maintenance of the NDA analyzer including high quality quartz reactors, metallic reactors, ash collector, capsules, reagents and catalysts of efficient performance and long life, standard for calibrating the instrument (EDTA, 9.57% N), o-rings, seals and fittings.
Digestion Units
Digesters are widely used instruments in laboratories performing analysis for diversified applications in food and feed, beverage (nitrogen, protein, total Kjeldahl nitrogen), environmental (COD, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, heavy metal trace analysis), chemical and pharmaceutical (Organic nitrogen) industries. DKL digesters work in accordance with a variety of standards, including AOAC, ISO, EPA, DIN etc.
Sample preparation is a crucial part of the Kjeldahl analysis in order to obtain accurate and precise results. With the DKL series of digesters, manual operations have been drastically reduced: lowering and lifting of the samples takes place fully automatically, as well as the separation between the test tubes and the suction cup.
DK digesters are traditional digesters, consisting of an aluminum heating block to offer high thermal homogeneity, heating up to 450 °C. The temperature of the block is constantly controlled by a microprocessor.
Distillation Units
VELP Scientifica offer a range of distillation units that perform nitrogen analysis and protein determination according to the Kjeldahl method used in the food and feed industries. Other applications include environmental and chemical.
The UDK 169 is fully automatic Kjeldahl Analyzer (distillation unit plus integrated colorimetric titrator) with connection to an autosampler for high sample throughput, maximum flexibility and unattended operation.
The completely automatic Kjeldahl distillation and titration system provides optimal performance and safety for its users.
The automatic Kjeldahl distillation unit UDK 149 can be connected to several models of external potentiometric titrators for direct output of the final result and offering choice and versatility to the user.
Genuine Catalyst tablets KjTabs™, Vreceiver™ Boric Acid powder formula with indicators and Nitrogen-free Weighing Boats for reliable Kjeldahl analysis.
Solvent Extractor
VELP Scientifica offers both fully automatic semi-automatic solvent extractors for both solid-liquid extraction processes, as well as fat extraction and sample preparation in a wide range of applications in food, feed, environmental and other industrial segments. VELP Scientifica also offers a convenient, reliable and safe hydrolysis unit for the sample preparation prior to extraction for total fat determination.
The SER 158 Series of automatic solvent extractors are fully automatic and cloud-enabled extractors available in 3 and 6 positions that guarantee security, accuracy, and precision in the determination of extractable matter according to the Randall and Twisselmann methods. The SER 158 complies with international standards, including AOAC, ISO, EPA, APHA, UNI.
The SER 148 Series of solvent extraction are suitable for the separation of a substance or a group of elements from solid and semi-solid samples according to the Randall technique.
The HU6 is an optimal solution for the acid/ basic hydrolysis of food and feed samples prior to solvent extraction of total fat analysis.
A complete set of cups, thimbles and gaskets guaranteeing maximum performance for solvent extractors.
Solvent Extractors Consumables
Fiber Analyzers
VELP Scientifica provides a host of automatic analyzers for crude and detergent fiber, as well as semi-automatic extractors for raw fiber extraction. In addition, the Cold Extractor performs rapid fat extraction on feed samples directly in the FIWE Advance Automatic Fiber Analyzer and FIWE glass crucibles.
The fully automatic analyzer for crude and detergent fiber determination according to official reference methods requiring minimum operator time with a unique user interface and cloud connectivity.
The FIWE 3 and FIWE 6 fiber analyzer models use pre-heated reagents for fiber analysis in accordance with the Weende, Van Soest, and other official methods.
The COEX cold extractor performs rapid fat extraction on feed samples directly in the FIWE Advance and FIWE glass crucibles.
Dietary Fiber Analyzers
The Dietary Fiber Analyzers range of products from VELP Scientifica includes the GDE Enzymatic Digester for dietary fiber analysis by enzymes heating, and the CSF6 Filtration Unit for dietary fiber extraction.
The analytical procedure for the determination of dietary fiber involves a series of digestions of the sample by thermostable enzymes using the enzymatic digester GDE, which operates in accordance with the official AOAC method for the determination of total dietary fiber.
The CSF6 is a rapid and efficient filtration unit for dietary fiber extraction. Once the samples have been processed by the GDE Enzymatic Digester, the CSF6 become an optimal choice for efficient filtration.
NDA 701 Dumas elemental analyzer is the best solution for a high throughput lab in need of a fast and safe analyzer. It is powered by the DUMASoftTM software and produces N/Protein results in just 3-4 minutes while unsupervised.
