CEM Sprint Protein Analyzer

The CEM Sprint Protein Analyzer is an advancement for protein analysis based on a rapid green chemistry process allowing for direct protein detection in less than 5 minutes. It replaces the conventional Kjeldahl method for analysis of food products. This patent-pending system, which uses iTAG® protein-tagging technology, identifies and measures only protein, not nitrogen, so you can be certain your results are accurate.

Features
  • Direct method for protein conversion
  • Remarkably easy to use
  • No hazardous chemicals
  • Convenient, disposable sample cups and filters
  • Safer and less expensive than Kjeldahl
  • More repeatable than Kjeldahl and combustion techniques
  • Fast analysis of all types of food
  • Automates AOAC official methods 967.12, 930.33, 930.29, and 2011.04
  • Downloadable iMethods®
  • Uses green technology

Precise and Reliable

True protein at the touch of a button.

  • Incentive to adulterate ingredients is removed
  • Security of food supply is improved
  • A wide variety of samples can be tested easily
  • Raw material pricing is more accurate
  • Improved Process control with rapid 4-minute testing
  • Least cost formulations are more easily achieved

Melamine is not an obstacle for CEM Sprint Protein Analyzer, as the system simply ignores all sources of non-protein nitrogen (NPN). As seen in the chart below, Sprint displays the true protein results for samples containing melamine. With Sprint, you can be confident that you are measuring protein and nothing else.

Easy-To-Use

Simple operation with self cleaning.

1. Choose your method.
2. Weigh your sample into the disposable cup.
3. Place it in the Sprint with a filter and press Start.
4. Dispose of sample when test is complete.

Self Cleaning

CEM Sprint Protein Analyzer self-cleans its internal components. At the conclusion of every analysis, all non-toxic sample waste as well as the disposable filter and cup are removed and discarded.

Methods & Applications

Preprogrammed methods for easy set-up.

CEM Sprint Protein Analyzer comes pre-programmed with a broad selection of methods ready for use in your laboratory. With its truly innovative software, loading a method and analyzing samples on your Sprint is no more complicated than finding a number and calling a friend on your cell phone. Sprint stores hundreds of methods and tens of thousands of sample results.
