Environmental Express HotBlock® TKN Digestion System
Maximize precision, throughput, and safety in your laboratory’s sample preparation with the Environmental Express HotBlock® TKN Digestion System.
Engineered specifically to meet the rigorous demands of environmental and analytical testing laboratories, this innovative high-temperature block digester provides a highly efficient and uniform method for digesting and storing water, wastewater, soil, and sludge samples. Optimized for Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), Total Phosphorus (TP/TKP), and total metals analysis, it effortlessly handles heavy-duty workflows requiring stable heat profiles up to 450°C.
Engineered for Harsh Laboratory Environments
Sample integrity and longevity are at the core of the HotBlock® design. Constructed with entirely corrosion-free materials, this system eliminates the risk of rust and acid-induced degradation, maintaining a clean environment for sensitive analytical matrices. Its compact, space-saving footprint maximizes valuable fume hood real estate, while its specialized insulation layer results in minimal radiant heat loss—protecting your equipment and ensuring a more comfortable workspace for lab technicians.
Seamless Workflow Integration
The HotBlock TKN system accepts both threaded and non-threaded flat-bottom TKN tubes, giving you the flexibility to use existing inventory. For labs looking to optimize throughput, threaded flat-bottom tubes can be rapidly transferred directly from the block into the Environmental Express SimpleDist® system for automated post-digestion distillation without any manual sample transfer.
Key Features & Benefits:
High-Temperature Performance: Safely maintains accurate, uniform temperatures up to 450°C to accommodate aggressive acid digestions.
Multi-Matrix Versatility: Perfectly suited for regulatory-compliant testing of water, wastewater, soils, and sludge.
Corrosion-Free Construction: Eliminates contamination risks from chipping or flaking materials common in traditional metallic hot plates or blocks.
Optimized Footprint: Concentrates sample capacity into a small area while reducing radiant energy waste.
SimpleDist® Compatibility: Directly transfer threaded tubes to post-digestion distillation setups to reduce handling errors and save bench time.
Technical Specifications:
Maximum Temperature: 450°C
Compatible Glassware: Threaded and non-threaded flat-bottom TKN tubes
Core Applications: Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), Total Phosphorus (TP/TKP), Total Metals Digestions
