The fully auto DKL 8 Digestion Unit works on 8 (x 250 ml, external diameter 42 mm) test tubes simultaneously. The System is composed of an Aluminum Heating Block offering excellent temperature homogeneity, precision and accuracy; an Auto Lift and an Auto Suction Cap and is supplied as a complete package including test tubes, Sample Rack and Drip Tray. The DKL 8 incorporates VELP’s revolutionary TEMS™ technology for unprecedented Savings in terms of Time, Energy - as much as 35%, Money and Space. High-Tech but Simple to use,  a Microprocessor controls the block temperature whilst an electronic Auto-Calibration System ensures excellent reliability and repeatability of analysis. A Practical Interface with LCD Graphic Display allows access to all the data including the Multi-Language Library and the 54 Programs available, 24 of which are user-programmable. The Digestion Unit is Extremely Compact with a narrow footprint for optimum use of space on the lab bench. In compliance with GLP (Good Laboratory Practice), data can be printed or stored in a PC.

VELP digesters are suitable for a variety applications in food&feed, beverage (nitrogen, protein, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen), environmental (COD, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen), chemical and pharmaceutical (organic nitrogen) industries, in according with a variety of International Standards (such as AOAC, ISO, EPA, DIN etc.).

In order to neutralize the fumes produced during the digestion, DKL 8 should be combined with a proper Aspiration Pump and Fumes Neutralization System. VELP suggests combining DKL 8 with JP Pump and SMS Scrubber.
