Next level nitrogen and protein analysis

Grow your plant-based protein business with our analytical solutions

Nitrogen and protein determination is an essential step in the development and production of plant-based food products. But time-consuming sample preparation, long analysis procedures, difficult to handle instruments, and tedious maintenance work can be a real bottleneck in nitrogen and protein analysis - especially when you have a lot of samples to be analyzed. The result: your R&D and quality control departments do not work as efficiently as they could, unnecessarily slowing down the production process of your plant-based protein products. It doesn't have to be that way!

Let us help you grow your business

Our mission is your success. Incorporating 125 years of experience in elemental analysis, we support agricultural and food production businesses world-wide in creating high quality foods. Let our Dumas combustion analyzers bring your nitrogen and protein analysis to the next level, supporting process optimization and growth of your business. Learn how.

What our customers say

Dr Lee with the rapid MAX N exceed nitrogen and protein analyzer
Beyond Meat
"The short run time, ease of loading and high mass loading ability enable us to rapidly analyze materials with minimal prep work. Additionally, Elementar has been extremely helpful and responsive to resolve any issues we’ve had."
The team of Plantible Foods with their rapid N exceed nitrogen/protein analyzer
Plantible Foods
"We previously used Elementar and found the maintenance and ease of use of the instruments attractive. The autosampler allows for continuous analysis of samples and the CO2 mobile phase is very cost-effective over traditional helium and argon systems."
AVEBE headquarters in Veendam, Netherlands
AVEBE
"A real plus point are the precise measurement results in protein determination obtained by the rapid MAX N exceed. These are repeatedly confirmed by the measurement with the standards L-tryptophan and L-glutamic acid, and in ring tests with our parent company in the Netherlands. In addition, employees in the laboratory benefit from the short analysis time, and the significantly lower effort for protein determination compared to the Kjeldahl method."

From plant to plate: Nitrogen and protein analysis along the whole food production process

Applications

Our nitrogen and protein analyzers are simple to use and deliver results quickly, meaning that agricultural businesses can monitor changes in the protein content of crops in order to optimize growing conditions - without incurring delays by sending samples to a laboratory.

Harvested peas

For producers of plant-based foods, the protein content of incoming crops and goods is a vital consideration in maximizing output and maintaining product consistency. The high throughput and small sample requirements of our nitrogen and protein analyzers make quality control simpler than ever for inbound goods.

Our nitrogen and protein analyzers offer fast, low-cost analysis and enable testing at high volumes and unattended operation. Thanks to these capabilities, research and development teams have more freedom to experiment, while using data to monitor how process optimizations will affect the end product, or to evaluate the properties of new products.

Food chemist in the laboratory

Nitrogen and protein analysis serves to highlight any inefficiencies in your production practices that are affecting the final protein content of your product, or that limit your output. Our nitrogen and protein analyzers can be used at any stage of the production process, not only because it offers fast and low-cost analysis at high volumes, but because you do not need to be an expert in technical analysis in order to use it. This allows you to implement effective quality control procedures and production process optimizations that will increase output.
