Analysis Options using the ANKOM

DELTA

 Automated Fiber Analyzer 

The ANKOM

DELTA

 Automated Fiber Analyzer can be configured to run ADF, NDF, and Crude Fiber analyses. The 

instrument will run with default digestion and rinse time settings unless you select the Custom analysis option. This 
option allows you to do ADF, NDF, or Crude Fiber analyses using custom digestion and rinse time settings. 

For maintenance purposes, the ANKOM

DELTA

 also flushes the chemical lines and valves after each run automatically. 

The following sections provide the information you will need to use and maintain the ANKOM

DELTA

 Automated Fiber 

Analyzer.
