Start Kjeldahl distillation easily and fast: As a distillation unit, VAPODEST operates almost by itself:

• Programmable addition of chemicals, distillation time, steam power and "Soft Start" to save you numerous manual steps
• Intuitive, guided navigation via touchscreen – as easy as on your smartphone, even with lab gloves on
• Method library that saves you time and rules out input data errors
• Your advantage: you save time and resources while increasing the reproducibility of your analysis results

Safety is a top priority with VAPODEST: To determine nitrogen according to Kjeldahl, there is no way around working with aggressive substances. But it's good to know that VAPODEST’s clever design protects you from contact with hazardous substances throughout the distillation and analysis process. VAPODEST is routinely equipped with the following safety features:

• An illuminated distillation chamber to let you keep everything in view
• A self-diagnosis feature that detects errors early and switches automatically to a safe mode
• Clever design for protection against unintentional contact with hazardous substances
• “Soft Start" feature for controlled reactions even when analysing reactive substances
• And if something does get spilled: all surfaces are easy to clean

ISO 17025-compliant operation for peace of mind: VAPODEST is ideally equipped for use in accredited laboratories. The embedded PC and the proprietary software for processing the data into ISO 17025-compliant documents make data management easy for accredited laboratories, so there’s no need to worry about your next audit.

• Individually configurable user rights
• Automatic logs all work steps
• Tamper-proof data storage

Conveniently planned maintenance: Gerhardt's VAPODEST steam distillers are in step with your annual inspection interval. Perfectly matched working lives of wearing parts and VAPODEST’s modular design make maintenance easy and plannable. The chemical-resistant housing and the high-quality, validated components mean you can enjoy working with your distillation system for longer and benefit from lower total operating costs. A clever and individually controllable resource management system, e.g. for cooling water use and stand-by mode, minimises your operating costs further.
