FAQ's of Aicil Kjeldahl Dry Block Digestor 40 Holes:
Q: How do I operate the Aicil Kjeldahl Dry Block Digestor for sample digestion?
A: To operate the digestor, load up to 40 compatible tubes (38 mm diameter x 250 mm height) into the aluminium block. Set the desired temperature and timer using the digital PID controller and programmable digital timer. The easy-loading mechanism simplifies insertion and removal of tubes. The unit will heat up, digest the samples, and automatically shut off upon completion or if an over-temperature condition is detected.
Q: What type of samples and applications is this digestor suited for?
A: The digestor is primarily used for the digestion of samples in nitrogen determination and protein analysis, following the Kjeldahl method. It is also suitable for various laboratory chemical processing applications that require controlled, uniform heating of samples.
Q: When should I use the over temperature protection feature?
A: The over temperature protection feature is always active, safeguarding the unit and samples from heat damage. It functions automatically, cutting off the heating system if the set temperature exceeds the safety threshold, making continuous supervision unnecessary during operation.
Q: Where should the digestor be installed in the laboratory?
A: Designed as a table top unit, the digestor should be positioned on a stable, flat laboratory bench that can support approximately 25 kg. Ensure the area is close to a compatible 230 V AC power supply and well-ventilated to maintain laboratory safety standards.
Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the block digestor?
A: Allow the digestor to cool completely before cleaning its surface with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Regularly check the aluminium block and tube rack for residue or buildup, and refer to the instruction manual for specific maintenance routines. The acid-resistant block and chemical-resistant exterior make maintenance straightforward.
Q: How does the digital PID temperature controller benefit laboratory work?
A: The digital PID temperature controller ensures precise temperature regulation with 1C accuracy, which is vital for reproducibility and reliability in sensitive analyses like protein and nitrogen determination. It allows programmable settings for more efficient, automated workflows.
Q: What standard accessories come with the Aicil Kjeldahl Dry Block Digestor?
A: Each unit is supplied with a tube rack, instruction manual, and power cord as standard accessories, providing users with essential components to begin digestion processes immediately upon installation.
