Food & Water Analysis

JP Selecta food and water analysis equipment

JP Selecta food and water analysis equipment covers the most frequent analytical determinations in quality control laboratories of the agri-food industry, water treatment plants and health inspection bodies.

The catalogue includes Kjeldahl distillers, Soxhlet extractors, fibre determination equipment, water distillers and bidistillers, flocculators and oenological analysers.

All equipment includes validation documentation and verification protocols compliant with current AOAC, ISO and food safety standards.

Our range of equipment for food and water analysis

Equipment specialised in everyday analytical determinations such as protein, fat, fibre, moisture and water.

Systems for protein and nitrogen determination

Systems for the determination of organic nitrogen by the Kjeldahl method are composed of two basic components developed to interact in a coordinated way: the digestion block (mineralisation) and the Pro-Nitro distillation unit.

• Available models: Bloc Digest (6, 12, 20, 24 and 40-place configurations), Auto-digest 20, Pro-Nitro M, Pro-Nitro S and Pro-Nitro A.
• Parameters they determine: They accurately quantify total nitrogen, organic nitrogen, crude protein, total casein and volatile nitrogenous bases.
• Main applications: Analytical quality control of food in cereals and derivatives, milk and dairy products, fruit juices, animal feed, raw materials and characterisation of wastewater.

Extraction of fats, oils and fibre

Efficient separation processes through systems designed to interact with solvents and common chemical reagents under conditions of maximum instrumental safety.

• Available models: Det-Gras N (2 and 6-place models), Dosi-Fiber (4 and 6-place models) and EF-1425.
• Parameters determined: Crude fat, soluble essential oils, crude cellulose, crude fibre, insoluble dietary fibre and total dietary fibre.
• Reference method/standard: Directly based on the reference methodologies of Soxhlet, Randall, Weende, Wijkström and Van Soest.
• Main applications: Determination of components in meat, fish, animal feed, prefabricated food, bakery products, paper pulp, wood and textile fibres.

Laboratory water analysis

Advanced instrumentation for purification, monitoring and assay oriented to optimising the technical performance of control stations.

• Available models: Aquasel, L-3, D-4 and D-10 Large, AC-L4 and AC-L8, Cabinet and the Reser series, L-4B, Lab-Ion L-2 and LD-12, Smeg WP3010, AC-3 and Flocumatic.
• Parameters determined: Evaluation of flocculating agents for sedimentation, and continuous supply of high-resistivity purified water free of ions or pyrogens.
• Reference method/standard: Compliant with the official guidelines of the European Pharmacopoeia and the international standard ISO-3696 for obtaining laboratory Grade III water.
• Main applications: Jar Test assays and optimisation of coagulant or polyelectrolyte dosing in surface and wastewater treatment plants.

Complementary equipment and specific analysis

To cover critical determinations with integrated solutions based on advanced analytical logic.

• Available models: DE-1626, M-3000, Cencom III, Enobloc, Eco-8 and Eco-16, DBO Sensor 6 and 10, and Medilow S, L and LG.
• Parameters determined: Volumetric alcoholic strength, volatile acidity, sorbic acid, total polyphenols (Folin index), phenolic maturity, enzymatic analyses in musts, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD).
• Reference method/standard: EEC No. 2676/90 and EEC No. 2870/2000, UNE 77-004 and DIN 38414.
• Main applications: Systematic quality control in wineries and the wine-making sector, as well as environmental analytical characterisation of wastewater and depuration sludges.

Methodologies and standards applied to food and water analysis

JP Selecta meticulously designs each component of its equipment to align with the strictest international standards, ensuring the methodological reproducibility demanded by global regulatory bodies.

Official AOAC and ISO methods

They are the fundamental reference axes in industrial quality control and health inspections.

Traceability and documentation for audits

JP Selecta equipment is delivered accompanied by their respective factory-individualised verification and calibration protocols. We also provide a complementary calibration service directly traceable to ENAC for accredited environments.

Repeatability and analytical precision

Repeatability higher than 0.05 %, achieving perfectly traceable correlation against the laboratory oven method. This precision extends equally to the repeatability of Det-Gras N Soxhlet extractors and the protein distillers of the Pro-Nitro series.
