Instrument Description
The ANKOM
TDF
Dietary Fiber Analyzer is designed to efficiently, accurately, and precisely recover IDF, SDF, and TDF
residue from food and/or feed samples in accordance with the AOAC 991.43, AACC 32-07.01, and NMKL 129, 2003 methods.
Enabled by Filter Bag Technology, the instrument can run six digestion and six precipitation processes at the same time.
The filter bags are designed to capture the appropriate fiber particles while allowing all non-fiber components to pass through.
The instrument will use an IDF bag and an SDF bag when configured to recover IDF and SDF residue. The instrument will use
an IDF
Flow-Thru bag and an SDF bag when configured to recover TDF residue.
The automated fiber recovery is achieved by first digesting samples within bags using enzyme treatments. Depending on the
filter bag configuration, the instrument then collects the IDF and SDF residue using two separate filters, or collects the TDF
residue using one filter. Once captured in the filters the residue is dried, weighed, and corrected for protein and ash content to
determine the IDF, SDF, and TDF values.
Digestion, precipitation, rinse (H
2
O and EtOH), and filter operations are performed by the instrument, eliminating manual
transfer and filtration steps. Process temperatures, agitation, and fluid transfer along with digestion, precipitation, and filter
times are precisely controlled by the on-board computer.
