Protein analysis can be done much faster and cleaner than with Kjeldahl thanks to the DUMAS method.
Dumas is a reference and routine method for the determination of total nitrogen and protein concentration. The method is ideal for various food and feed producers and suppliers. This nitrogen and protein analysis is highly reproducible and complies with national and international standards for food and feed.
The Rapid N Exceed and the Rapid Max N Exceed from Elementar are fast, reproducible and have high throughput.
The sample throughput of a Dumas system can easily reach more than 200 samples per day. During 24-hour shifts this can also be increased to 300 samples with an average analysis time of 3 to 5 minutes. It is also possible to run an emergency sample in between.
The accuracy and reproducibility of the results fully correlate with the classical methods. The ease of use and the fast result allow – if desired – the sample to be easily reanalyzed.
The price per analysis is very low due to the economic operation of the system. The fully automated operation also makes it an extremely safe method to analyze N protein.
The Rapid N Exceed and the Rapid Max N Exceed are less harmful to the environment because they do not use hazardous chemicals.
