VELP Scientifica is proud to introduce the new DKL Digesters, extremely reliable, completely automatic and with reduced consumption.

Kjeldahl DKL Digesters are simply revolutionary because they enables obtaining unprecedented and unique benefits, thanks to TEMS™ technology.

- Reduce energy consumption as much as 35% (compared to a conventional digester)

- Reduce heating time for results in less time, eliminating wasted time

- Reduce the cost for each analysis

- Reduce the footprint because everybody knows that there is never enough bench space in a laboratory

Discover all the benefits of the new DKL Series.

Independent study recently published demonstrated that the Air Sampler is an effective, accurate alternative to the standard method of Air Sampling.

Recently published article at the European Journal of Lipid Science & Technology:

Accelerated oxidation tests, such as the determination of the induction period, increase the lipid oxidation rate by exposing a food to elevated temperatures, in the presence of excess quantities of air or oxygen. In addition to the well-founded oxidative stability index (OSI) method, an innovative and promising technique is the oxidation test (OXITEST) reactor.

 A new analytical method was developed with OXITEST to oxidize vegetable oils. At a preliminary stage of the investigation, the induction periods of sunflower and extra-virgin olive oil obtained by the OXITEST reactor were plotted against temperature, on the basis of the Arrhenius law; the activation energy and the frequency factor of lipid oxidation were calculated and resulted in - 98.61 kJ/mol and 2.33×1010 s-1, respectively, for sunflower oil and 106.48 kJ/mol and 6.27×1010 s-1, respectively for extra-virgin olive oil. The new oxidative technique was employed to determine the induction periods of vegetable oils; the results obtained were well correlated with those achieved with OSI technology, with a Pearson correlation coefficient r = 0.9785 (p <0.05) for oilseeds and palm oil and r = 0.9501 (p <0.05) for extra-virgin olive oils."

An independent study recently published by Fort Valley State University demonstrated that the IUL Flash & Go automated colony counter is an effective, accurate alternative to the standard method of colony counting.

Moreover the study claims the use of the colony counter increased the overall efficiency of research operations by significantly reducing the time devoted to conventional manual plate count and made tasks easier for data manipulation, analysis and interpretation.

Software Update

Thanks to a new software it is now possible to adjust the steam flow regulation from 10 to 100% on UDK132 Distillation Unit.

This enhancement provides further flexibility for the analysis of different parameters such as classic Kjeldahl nitrogen and protein, nitric nitrogen (after reduction), phenols, Devarda nitrogen determination, volatile fatty acids, cyanides, alcohol content, etc. according to official procedures AOAC, EPA, DIN and ISO. 

The adjustable steam flow regulation, in addition to unique devices as: 

- Maintenance-free steam generator (Patented by Velp) fed by deionized water

- Innovative Titanium Condenser (Patent Pending) achieves outstanding heat exchange, higher resistance than glass, extended lifetime, easy to clean completely

 - Technopolymer splash head (alkali-resistant) ensures longer lifetime,

makes this excellent semi-auotmatic distillation unit even more competitive than before. 

All UDK132 Distillation Units are now equipped with the new software version.

We are happy to offer our customer base, a new calibration service for key instruments, such as our Air Samplers, Gravimetric Dilutors etc.  Our calibration tests conform to the requirements of ISO 9001-200, ISO TS16949, ANSI/NCSL Z540-1994, QS9000 and ISO 10012-1992, The instrument is calibrated and shipped back with a certificate of calibration.

The UDK152 Software enables to record and manage via PC all the data collected with the UDK152 Distillation&Titration Unit.

Thanks to this innovative solution it is now possible to transfer the results of your analyses to a customizable data base; create Test reports, calculate statistical values; record laboratory data and the parameters used for tests according to GLP.
