The world's population is growing and with it the demand for food and animal feed with clearly verifiable ingredients. This includes the protein content. This can be determined by nitrogen analysis – fully automaticated with the new N-Realyzer from C. Gerhardt. The laboratory system ensures high throughput, is low-maintenance and intuitive to operate. Among other things, it owes this to a valve block from Festo, which offers high tightness in gas distribution.
