The UDK 132 is the intermediate semi-automatic soluiton developed by Velp Scientifica in the Distillation units range.

The distillation units of the UDK series are designed for diversified and flexible use, including applications such as determining ammoniacal nitrogen, protein nitrogen, (Kjeldahl or direct alkaline distillation), nitric nitrogen (after reduction), phenols, volatile fatty acids, cyanides, alcohol content, etc. according to official procedures.

The distillation unit comes with a patented steam generator using deionized water that assures distillations are carried out in absolute safety and without routine maintenance. Distillation unit equipped with automation of the various operational phases, with high reliability and safety characteristics. The supply water feed is automatically stopped during pauses, thus cutting down on its consumption. The instrument is equipped with a system that recognizes when the sliding protection is not closed, when there is not enough cooling water and when the test tube is present, without which the instrument does not start operation. Use of an innovative system allows various sizes of test tubes to be used and 500 ml Kjeldahl flasks to be housed. 10 customizable methods are available for the most significant distillation parameters, and access to the programming menus in 5 different languages is simple and intuitive. In conformity with the G.L.P. (Good Laboratory Practices), the instrument can be connected to a printer or PC so the data concerning the tests in progress can be printed or stored.
