Features

2501 Scrubber Unit
2501 Scrubber Unit

For Kjeldahl digestions the 2501 Scrubber Unit should always be considered for safe and efficient neutralisation of corrosive gases. This replaces the water aspirator, supplied as standard.

Exhaust manifolds
Exhaust manifolds

All models are delivered with a tube rack with integrated heat shields. They should always be combined with a matching exhaust manifold designed for each Digestion Unit facilitating fume removal, or reflux head and test tubes – 100 ml, 250 ml or 400 ml volume.
