It measures raw and coarse fiber content in grains, food, feed and other agricultural products using an acid-base digestion method.
It uses the acid-base digestion method, a widely accepted procedure for determining crude/raw fiber content.
The model CXC-06 processes up to 6 samples per test/run.
About 100 minutes per run, including approximately 40 minutes acid digestion, 40 minutes alkali digestion, and 20 minutes for filtration and washing.
Typical reproducibility is well within acceptable lab limits. Specifically, for raw fiber levels < 10% the absolute error is ≤ 0.4%; for levels > 10% the absolute error is ≤ 4%.
Suitable for cereal grains (wheat, corn, barley), processed food, animal feed ingredients and other agricultural or sideline products where raw/coarse fiber content is required.
Provide representative, homogenized samples according to your lab SOP or relevant standard methods (e.g., dry and grind to a consistent particle size). Follow the chosen method's sample weight and preparation instructions.
Standard acids and bases used for acid-base digestion (typically reagents like sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide), filter media, wash solvents and appropriate waste containers. Consumables are generally not supplied with the instrument.
Water pressure greater than 1.5 MPa and water temperature below 20°C are required for operation.
Power: AC 220V / 50Hz, 2800W. Size: 670 × 450 × 670 mm. Weight: approximately 30 kg.
Use appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat), operate in a well-ventilated area or fume hood when handling strong acids/bases, follow chemical handling and waste disposal regulations, and ensure staff are trained on emergency procedures.
Rinse and clean digestion vessels and filtration components after each run, check seals and valves regularly, replace filter media and worn parts as needed, and follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for periodic inspections and servicing.
Yes — it implements the acid-base digestion approach used in many official methods. To ensure compliance, follow the specific AOAC/ISO method protocols (reagent concentrations, sample sizes, timing) used in your lab.
Perform initial qualification tests, run blanks and certified reference materials, check reproducibility with replicate samples, and schedule routine performance checks. Follow your lab QA/QC procedures to document accuracy and precision.
Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor for spare parts (heaters, valves, filters, electrical components) and technical service. Keep the model number (CXC-06) and product details available when requesting support.
