Watch our CN/FP828 in action with this brief operational demonstration video. The CN/FP828 is a macro combustion analyzer that can determine Carbon, Nitrogen, and crude protein values for a variety of matrices. Video includes a sample analysis overview, instrument operation overview, the instrument theory of operation, data and software capabilities, and available support and service for customers.
Combustion techniques for determining nitrogen/protein in foods is gaining popularity due to shorter analysis times, ease of operation, and improved safety characteristics, but it is limited by the amount of sample an instrument is capable of analyzing at one time. Low-level nitrogen samples present a challenge to analyze due to sample characteristics and method limitations. Lloyd Allen, from LECO, will be discussing how to optimize methods for low-level nitrogen determination with combustion instruments.
