Velp Scientifica™ DK 42/26 Digestion Unit

Description

Thermal homogeneity and precision

• The DK 42/26 Series digestion unit with aluminum heating block ensures high thermal homogeneity heating up to 450 °C. The temperature of the block is constantly controlled by a microprocessor and is extremely stable, homogeneous and precise: ±0.5°C at all selectable temperature.
• The DK 42/26 Series guarantees accuracy and repeatability. The DK 42/26 performs batch digestion of up to 42 samples with 100 ml test tubes - Ø 26 mm, reducing the energy consumption (-13% compared to the previous series). Low energy consumption provides lower costs of analysis and limits CO2 release

Space saving design

• The design of the DK series has been carefully engineered to allow laboratories to save valuable space under the hood.
• DK Digesters have very compact dimensions: the new aluminum heating block has been lowered and the vertical proportions allow to free precious space in the laboratory.
• The structure is made of stainless steel that has been specifically designed and tested to ensure strong resistance to chemicals and mechanical stress.
• The aluminum block protection grid provides enhanced heating performance and protects the heating block from splashes and chemicals.

Easy-to-use with the intuitive digital interface

• The bright digital display provides maximum visibility and easy-to-read information.
• The instrument is operated with 4 keys to navigate the menu options and program the digestions in a simple and fast way.
• Through the intuitive graphic display it is possible to set up to 20 methods with 4 temperature ramps.
• Acoustic signals inform the operator of the completion of the analysis facilitating the daily use of the digester.
• The inclination of the front panel protects it from chemical spillage at high temperatures.

Fume Neutralization System

• For application where the digestion process produces fumes, acid gases or corrosive substances, the instrument is strongly recommended to be completed with dedicated accessories:
  • JP Pump aspirates noxious fumes (x2) in order to guarantee an effective fumes removal
  • SMS Scrubber neutralizes all the fumes

VELP recommends using DK 42/26 in combination with 2 JP suction units.

TEMS™ Technology

• DK Series Kjeldahl digestion units work with the innovative TEMS™ benefits, for huge savings.

• Time Saving: rapid heating reduces wasted time
• Energy Saving: limited energy consumption thus cutting CO2 emissions
• Money Saving: cost reduction for each analysis
• Space Saving: the narrow footprint saves valuable laboratory bench space
