ADF Analysis Procedure using the ANKOM
DELTA
Automated Fiber Analyzer
NOTE:
If you are following the acid detergent procedure with an acid detergent
lignin, you can find the lignin procedure on our website at www.ankom.com.
To perform ADF analysis on prepared samples, follow the procedure detailed below.
NOTE:
The instrument automatically flushes the chemical lines and valves after
each run.
1. Verify that the hot water supply is on and the drain hose is securely positioned in the drain.
2. Ensure the AD chemical tube is securely connected to the acid detergent valve and to your AD solution
container (cubitainer, tank, etc.)
NOTE:
The chemicals are pumped into the instrument via the pump and valves.
3. Open the Vessel Lid.
4. Place the Bag Suspender with the samples into the Vessel.
5. Place the Bag Suspender Weight onto the Bag Suspender rod to hold the trays in place.
6. Turn the instrument Power Switch to the ON position. The Display will light and allow you to select an
analysis procedure.
7.
Press the arrow keys on the Keypad until you see “Select ADF” on
the Display.
IMPORTANT:
The ADF analysis will use the following default settings:
•
60 minute digestion
•
four 5 minute rinses
8. Press ENTER on the Keypad and follow the prompts on the Display to set up the instrument for ADF
analysis.
9. Close the Vessel Lid and tighten it by turning the Vessel Clamp Handle.
NOTE:
There are many ways you can supply solutions to your instrument. The flexible
chemical tubes that attach to each valve allow you to pull solution from any
type of chemical container: cubitainer, large chemical tanks, etc. If you do not
want the instrument to automatically add your solutions, you can manually fill
the vessel for each procedure. First make sure that the tubes to the chemical
containers are disconnected. Immediately after executing step 10 below, pour
2L of solution directly into the vessel. Please note that the solution must cover
the level sensor in order for the instrument to start its operation. Once agitation
begins, close the Vessel Lid and continue the procedure with step 11.
