[Use of the combined Kjeldahl-wet digestion/Berthelot-reaction for determining nitrogen in biological materials. 2. Design and testing of a partially automated apparatus for routine determination of nitrogen]. 1979

R Lange, and R Friebe, and F Linow

The authors describe the design and the mode of operation of a partially automated analyzer system, based on the combination of the Kjeldahl wet digestion with the Berthelot reaction, for the determination of nitrogen in biological materials. The results from three years of operation are discussed from the view-points of variability of the materials to be tested, of accuracy and of precision. This analytical technique (with an accuracy of 98% and a precision of 4%) is suited for determining amino and amido nitrogen as well as non-aromatically bound ring nitrogen. The statistical evaluation of the analytical results revealed that the deviation of the measured values is mainly caused by the high-temperature digestion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009584 Nitrogen An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight [14.00643; 14.00728]. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.
D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein. Gene Products, Protein,Gene Proteins,Protein,Protein Gene Products,Proteins, Gene
