Kjeltec 2300 autoanalyser

Manufactured by Foss
Sourced in Sweden

The Kjeltec 2300 Autoanalyser is a laboratory instrument designed for the automated analysis of nitrogen content in various samples. It performs the Kjeldahl method of nitrogen determination, which is a widely used technique in chemical analysis. The Kjeltec 2300 Autoanalyser automates the digestion, distillation, and titration steps of the Kjeldahl method, providing efficient and accurate results.

Soybean Chlorophyll and Nitrogen Analysis

The chlorophyll in the soybean leaves was determined using samples consisting of five leaf disk obtained using a circular punch (cork borer) on five different leaves. The chlorophyll content was determined using a SPAD-502 meter (Konica-Minolta, Japan).
The roots and shoots were oven dried at 75°C for 2 days and ground. The total nitrogen content in the roots and shoots was determined using the Kjeldahl method with a nitrogen analyser (Kjeltec 2300 Autoanalyser, Foss Tecator AB, Hoganas, Sweden).

Grain Quality and Yield Traits Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rice grains of each sample were harvested at ~40 DAF and air-dried, then stored at room temperature for 3 months for measuring grain quality and yield traits. For each plant, 15–20 g of brown rice were prepared for the measurement of grain quality, including AC, GC, starch content, and GPC. The GPC was carefully determined by near-infrared spectroscopy using Infratec 1241 Grain Analyzer (Foss Tecator, Sweden) equipped with STM model42 (link). Briefly, approximately 15–20 g dry seeds per sample were dehulled into brown rice using a TR 200 dehuller (Kett, Tokyo, Japan) and loaded into the sample cup. Three scans per sample were used in data analysis. Data of seed protein contents were presented on a 0% moisture basis. These calibrations involved more than 500 rice samples that varied in GPC. Crude GPC and storage protein fractions in rice flour were also determined by the Kjeldahl method using a Kjeltec 2300 Autoanalyser (Foss AB, Sweden)28 (link). A nitrogen conversion factor of 6.25 was used to calculate the GPC.

Grains Characterization Protocol

Barley grains were milled to pass through a 1 mm Retsch Muhle mill (Retsch EPP 15×20, Germany), and dried using an air-forced oven at 60°C for 48 h. Nitrogen value was characterized using the Kjeldahl procedure (Kjeltec 2300 Autoanalyser, Foss Tecator AB, Hoganas, Sweden) and CP was estimated as N×6.25. Starch was determined by an anthrone/sulphuric acid method using glucose as standard and estimated as 0.9×glucose content [19 ]. The NDF (measured without alpha amylase and sodium sulphite) and acid detergent fibre (ADF; measured without alpha amylase and sodium sulphite). Samples were also analysed for ether extract and ash concentrations [20 ].

Quantifying Inorganic Ions and Nutrients in Plants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Inorganic ions (both from NS and plant material) were determined by ion chromatography (Dionex model DX500; Dionex Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) with a conductivity detector, using the pre-column IonPack AG14 and the column of separation IonPack AS14 for the anions, and the pre-column IonPack CG12A and the column of separation IonPack CS12A for the cations (Di Gioia et al., 2013 ). Ultrapure water at 18 MΩ/cm (Milli-Q Academic Millipore) was used in all the analysis.
Total Kjeldahl nitrogen in the plant was determined from 0.1 g of dried and ground leaf tissue by the Kjeldahl method (Kjeltec 2300 Auto Analyser; Foss-Tecator, Hillerød, Denmark) adding salicylic acid to recover the NO3-N (15 mL 0.18 M salicylic acid in 96% H2SO4, selenium compounds and Zn as catalysts). Plant phosphorus content was determined by spectrophotometry.
The pH and EC of NS were measured using the portable pH-meter HI 9025 and the conductivity-meter HI-9033 (Hanna Instruments, Padova, Italy). The pH was not subjected to analysis because its correction was done only to maintain its value in the 5.5–6.5 range, in the same manner for all the treatments.
Total soluble solids were measured using a portable reflectometer (Brixstix BX 100 H; Techniquip Corporation, Livermore, CA, USA); the DM was determined after drying until constant weight in a forced-draft oven at 65°C.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
