Ready to take your lab’s protein determination process to the next level? LECO’s protein analyzers do just that, with a streamlined process that saves time and money. Learn more in our on-demand Kjeldahl vs Dumas webinar.
Why is the Dumas method beating out the classic Kjeldahl method in modern instruments? Learn more about these two protein determination methods with our white paper!
When using the Dumas method, is it better to use an open air combustion boat or a sealed tin capsule or foil? LECO endeavored to find out!
Nitrogen content in food materials is necessary to measure when determining the total protein content. Performing this measurement using classical “wet chemistry” can be slow and tedious. The combustion-based Dumas method significantly increases laboratory productivity; when the sample has a low-level of nitrogen, however, it poses unique challenges.
