ANKOM TDF Dietary Fiber Analyzer

Part #

TDF
TDFI
Automated Dietary Fiber Analysis
Automates AOAC 985.29, 991.43, and 2001.03 (AACC 32.07.01), and NMKL 129, 2003, AOAC 2009.01, 2011.25, 2017.16 and 2022.01 


The ANKOM TDF Dietary Fiber Analyzer creates a new standard used for nutritional labeling, analysis, quality control, and research.

By automating one of the most tedious analytical methods, the ANKOM Dietary Fiber Analyzer reduces labor and per-sample costs while increasing accuracy and precision.  

ANKOM’s patented Filter Bag Technology increases filtering surface area which reduces the time needed to filter samples and eliminates the use of vacuum flasks and crucibles.

A computer-controlled multichannel pump automates the addition of chemical solutions, enzymes, and rinses. Temperatures and agitation levels are controlled throughout the process, eliminating the need for multiple water baths and freeing up precious lab space. 

  • Reduces technician labor by >50%
  • Faster, technician-free filtering eliminates transfer error
  • Three Runs - 9 samples in duplicate/day/shift  
  • Eliminates clogged filters
  • Reduced cost per assay
  • Eliminates water baths and filtration flasks
  • Step by step, easy to use computer interface 
Filter Bag Technology
  • Eliminates error  
  • Dual-chamber filter bag eliminates transfer steps
  • Increased surface area enables faster filtration
