Beyond Traditional Kjeldahl: exploring versatility of Velp Distillation Units

Join our upcoming webinar to discover how Velp Distillation Units go far beyond traditional Kjeldahl analysis. While TKN (Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen) remains a cornerstone, today’s systems enable a wide range of determinations—including Ammonia Nitrogen, Sulphites, Nitric Nitrogen (Devarda Method), Phenols, Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVBN), Volatile Acidity, and Alcohol Strength.

The Kjeldahl method is renowned for its reliability in nitrogen analysis and is widely used in the food, beverage, environmental, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. But its true value lies in its adaptability. With the right instrumentation, laboratories can enhance their analytical capabilities, improve accuracy, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
 

In this session, we’ll dive into the key principles, workflows, and challenges of these diverse applications. Whether you're analyzing wine, fertilizers, or food products, you’ll gain valuable insights into how distillation can support high-quality, reproducible results across a variety of matrices.

Key questions we will address

  • Why is the Kjeldahl method still relevant, and how is it evolving?
  • Which parameters - beyond TKN - can be determined using distillation units?
  • What challenges arise in multi-matrix analysis and how can those systems overcome them?
  • What are the main benefits of automating distillation processes in the lab?

This webinar is intended for

  • Laboratories of food & feed manufacturers
  • Contract laboratories in the food & feed, environmental, agricultural, and chemical sectors
  • Environmental laboratories of wastewater associations and industrial dischargers
  • Quality control laboratories
  • State laboratories, universities, and research entities
