Instrument Description
General Description
The ANKOM
DELTA
Automated Fiber Analyzer is designed to efficiently and accurately determine Acid Detergent
Fiber (ADF), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), and Crude Fiber within food and/or feed samples. Enabled by Filter
Bag Technology, up to 24 samples can be processed at one time.
During analysis cell contents are removed as the encapsulated sample is subjected to the appropriate chemical (AD,
ND, or crude fiber acid and base) solutions, leaving the desired fiber fraction. Results are determined gravimetrically.
The filter bags are designed to allow proper flow of solutions while retaining non-soluble components. The fiber
residue captured in the filter bag can be used for follow-on assays such as ADIN, NDIN, and ADL.
Like the ANKOM
200
and ANKOM
2000
Fiber Analyzers, digestion and rinse operations are all performed within the
same instrument, allowing for the elimination of the separate filtration step. Process temperatures are precisely
controlled while providing proper agitation to ensure a uniform flow of chemical solutions and rinses across each
sample. The ANKOM
DELTA
Automated Fiber Analyzer contains a series of pumps that automatically pull the
appropriate chemical into the instrument from a chemical container, i.e. cubitainer. No gravity feed is necessary.
