Overview
Value
An easy way to secure consistent analytical results with repeatable determination of fibre content according to Weende, van Soest and other recognised methods.
Sample Type
Feed, Feed ingredients, Forage, Pet food, Grain, Cereal and Oil seeds
Parameters
Crude Fibre (CF), Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF), Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF) and Acid Detergent Lignin (ADL)
Features
The FT 121 Fibertec cold extraction unit
The FT 121 Fibertec™ Cold Extraction Unit can be used in combination with the fully automated FIbertec™ 8000 for de-fatting samples and extraction at ambient temperatures and solvent dehydration of fibre residues.
Batch handling tools
Batch handling tools improve operator safety when handling hot crucibles, processing up to 6 samples at a time.
Crucible system
Both units, FT 121 and FT 122 Fibertec™, are adapted to the same crucible system that permits the sample, whenever required, to be dried and weighed between extractions. In the system the samples are handled in specially designed filter crucibles, which are used both as an integral part of an extraction assembly during extraction, rinsing and filtering, and as a sample vessel during the weighing, drying and ashing steps.
