Selective nitrogen determination methods related to Kjeldahl
KjelMaster System K-375 / K-376, KjelDigester K-449, Scrubber K-415
85 % of the world's nitrogen demand for fertilizer is primarily derived from ammonia in the form of urea, ammonium nitrate, phosphate and sulfate. Ammoniacal components can also be found in soil, sludge and bio waste. In those sample matrices, a mixture of several nitrogen containing compounds as urea, nitrogen from other organic origin such as amino acids, proteins, nitrate, nitrite and ammonium can be found.Using the Kjeldahl equipment, selective nitrogen determination of the Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN and TKN+), the ammonium (ammonium distillation) and the nitrate concentration (Devarda distillation) of a sample is possible. In addition, to these parameters, the organic nitrogen content can be calculated.

Nitrogen and Protein Determination in Animal Feed according to the Kjeldahl method
The determination of protein in feed is a routine procedure for quality assurance and labelling. A simple and fast method for protein determination in feed products according to the ISO 5983-2:2009 and AOAC 954.01 regulations is introduced below. The sample is digested with sulfuric acid and Kjeldahl Tablets Titanium using the digest Automat K-438, followed by distillation and titration with the KjelMaster K-375 with KjelSampler K-376.
