Nitrogen determination has a long history in the area of analytical chemistry. Internationally recognized and highly reliable, the
Kjeldahl Method is an analytical reference for the quantitative determination of nitrogen contained in organic substances and
inorganic compounds (ammonia and ammonium).
The Kjeldahl analysis is extremely versatile, as it can handle a very wide range of samples from food & feed (grain, meat, fish, milk,
dairy, seeds, vegetables), beverages, environmental (agriculture, oilseeds, soil, fertilizers, water, wastewater, sludge) to chemical and
pharmaceutical industries (paper, textiles, rubber, plastic, polymer).
Solvent Extraction
Solvent extraction is a method for the separation of mixtures by using the differences in the solubility of the components. A sample is
immersed in a solvent, then it is washed off with fresh solvent and the extract collected.

Oxidation Stability Reactor
The OXITEST Method is an internationally recognized analytical technique for the determination of the oxidation stability of food, fats
and oils.
Every food, feed and other product containing lipids (creams, lip balms, body lotions, wax etc.) undergoes oxidation of the contained
fat portion, which causes unpleasant flavor, bad smell and the loss of its natural sensorial qualities.
The stability tests performed with the OXITEST reactor accelerate the 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.

Fiber Analysers
The crude fiber is a method of analysis based on the estimation of the amount of fiber or plant cell walls. Crude fiber is also known as
Weende method and is widely spread for the determination of fiber content for monogastrics.
The method is based on the solubilization (digestion) of non-cellulosic compounds by sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide
solutions. Crude fiber is the loss on ignition of the dried residue remaining after digestion of the sample and is determined by weight
difference.
This method is applicable to grains, meals, flours, feeds, and fiber-bearing material from which fat can be extracted to leave workable
residue.
Van Soest method is based on the concept that plant cell can be divided into less digestible cell walls consisting of hemicellulose,
cellulose and lignin. As a result it is possible to fraction fiber in NDF, ADF and ADL that are used to estimate the energy intake from
feed and particularly for ruminants.
