SpeedDigester K-425 / K-436 / K-439
The entry level IR digester
On these systems the heating level is adjusted using continuous controls. The optimized design of the heating chambers reliably ensures that all samples are homogeneously heated, an aspect that prevents the foaming of critical samples. With the SpeedDigester the two heating chambers can be controlled individually.
Features
Use the SpeedDigester for multiple applications like Kjeldahl, micro-Kjeldahl, COD, hydroxyproline or aqua regia digestion and choose the appropriate glass assembly.
Drip tray for convenient and safe storage of the suction modules. Save bench space and store the rack in the cooling position.
Individual operation of each heating chamber. Manual temperature setting are infinitely variable from level 1 to 10.
Select the suction module that suits your need best.
- Standard: suitable for most applications
- With condensate trap: perfect for aqueous samples
- Suction module with capillary funnels: to accelerate the digestions
Operation is safe and lifetime of the fume hood is extended. A sealed suction system captures harmful fumes and the Scrubber K-415 neutralizes them.
Reduce digestion time up to two hours by fast heating, cooling and the continuous addition of H2O2 through the capillary funnels.
