The MEDILAB Micro Kjeldahl Nitrogen Distillation Apparatus (Peregals) is a precision-engineered system designed for the accurate distillation of ammonia released during Kjeldahl nitrogen analysis. It is widely used in laboratories for determining nitrogen and protein content in organic substances, fertilisers, food products, chemicals, and environmental samples. Built for reliability and repeatability, it ensures consistent performance in research, quality control, and industrial analytical workflows.
Key Features
- Manufactured using high-clarity Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for superior thermal and chemical stability.
- Complete assembly comprising a steam-generation flask, a steam trap, a vacuum-jacketed flask with a funnel, a condenser tube of silver, and a receiving flask.
- High-efficiency condenser ensures rapid cooling and improved ammonia recovery.
- Leak-proof ground-glass joints (standard taper) for secure and airtight connections.
- Precision-formed components guarantee accurate distillation with minimal sample loss.
- Resistant to acids, alkalis, and steam—ideal for repeated Kjeldahl cycles.
- Sturdy stand and clamps included for stable long-duration operation.
- Transparent components ensure clear visibility of the distillation process.
- Designed for smooth integration with standard Kjeldahl digestion units.
