The SEAL Analytical Digestion Block, specifically the BD50 model, is designed to automate acid digestions for up to 50 laboratory samples at once, making it ideal for Total Nitrogen (TKN) and Phosphorous (TP) digestion. It utilizes a microprocessor to precisely control digestion conditions, ensuring reproducibility and allowing for unattended operation, even overnight. This automation relieves staff from lengthy digestion processes and prepares samples in advance, enhancing laboratory productivity.

Key features include:

• High-grade aluminum block in a stainless steel housing for acid resistance and low maintenance.

• Separate programmable, acid-resistant controller to manage temperatures, digestion methods, and error detection.

• Safety features such as a safety cut out and protection during power failures.

• Compact design to save fume hood space.

• Versatility for a range of applications including environmental, food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and biochemical samples.

• Programmable with 20 digestion methods, each with up to 30 steps.

Optional accessories and model options are available, such as different digestion tube sizes and additional safety features to prevent cross-contamination and acid loss. The BD50 model accepts 50 x 75 ml or 100 ml tubes, while the BD28 model accepts 28 x 250 ml tubes, suitable for soil digestion.
