The largest contributor to poor TDF results is the effect of static electricity on the weighing process.
The TDF52 Bag Weigh Holder is used during the weighing process to eliminate static electricity while the bag is being weighed.
The last step in the Dietary Fiber extraction process is to rinse the samples with acetone. That process is not done on the ANKOM TDF instrument.
The TDF51 Bag Rinse Stand is used to hold the Filter Bags during an Acetone Rinse.
Before the final weighing step in a Dietary Fiber analysis, the bags must be dried.
The TDF50 stainless steel Bag Drying Rack has twelve positions for holding a full set of IDF/SDF bags when drying them in an oven.

The TDF99 kit is used to replace pump tubing in the ANKOM TDF instrument.
The TDF99 Long-life pump tubes can only be used on instruments outfitted with pumps labeled: "HIGH TORQUE PERISTALTIC PUMP."
Fluid supply distribution manifold directs input fluids to the six IDF/SDF stations.
To replace the supply manifold in your instrument, follow the procedure in the service procedure listed below.
The Flush Tubing Assembly used primarily for maintenance flushing of the fluid lines which allows the user to bypass fluid containers and connect to a single supply container.
Waste fluids flow through the Drain Tray Tube from the instrument to a waste drain or container. The Drain Tray Tube Kit comes with 5 ft of Drain Tube, 1-6138 Tube Clamp, 2-8288 Elbow Connectors, and 1-8133 Adhesive Clamp that is used to hold the tube to the bench surface.
The Black Nitrogen Supply Tubing is used as a replacement part for cracked or damaged nitrogen supply tubing or where additional length is required. Unit price is per foot. Please specify length in the quantity field when ordered.
Replacement quick-release connector insert used on the ends of the supply tubes, which connect into the top of the alcohol, buffer and water containers.
Please specify the color: Blue, Red, Green, or White.
When unscrewed, these screws (two total - one on each side of the ANKOMTDF Dietary Fiber Analyzer) allow the instrument to tilt forward for convenient access to the back.
This Cereal sample is to be used with our TDF instrument. The purpose of this check sample is both to ensure proper function of the instrument and correct procedural technique. If your results do not meet the expected range, first check your procedural steps. If the method has been followed properly, please contact ANKOM Technology at [email protected]
This Whole Wheat Flour sample is to be used with our TDF instrument. The purpose of this check sample is both to ensure proper function of the instrument and correct procedural technique. If your results do not meet the expected range, first check your procedural steps. If the method has been followed properly, please contact ANKOM Technology at [email protected]
This Oat Bran sample is to be used with our TDF instrument. The purpose of this check sample is both to ensure proper function of the instrument and correct procedural technique. If your results do not meet the expected range, first check your procedural steps. If the method has been followed properly, please contact ANKOM Technology at [email protected]
The pneumatically operated Pinch Valve-IDF,SDF regulates the low of fluids to the IDF and SDF positions. Refer to Service Procedure TS008 for installation instructions.
The pneumatically operated Pinch Valve-Waste regulates the low of fluids to the Waste tube during line charges, flushing and diagnostic operations. Refer to Service Procedure TS008 for installation instructions.
This is a solenoid operated supply valve that regulates flow of distilled water to the instrument. Refer to Service Procedure TS020 for installation instructions.
This is a solenoid operated supply valve that regulates flow of buffer solution to the instrument. Refer to Service Procedure TS020 for installation instructions.
This is a solenoid operated supply valve that regulates flow of 78% ethanol to the instrument. Refer to Service Procedure TS020 for installation instructions.
This is a solenoid operated supply valve that regulates flow of 95% ethanol to the instrument. Refer to Service Procedure TS020 for installation instructions.
The TDF Pressure Sensor Assembly monitors pressures of the six fluid lines and is used to identify weakness in tubing downstream of the peristaltic pump. Refer to Service Procedure TS011 for installation instructions.
The Vacuum Sensor Assembly monitors pressures on the supply lines and is used to identify empty containers, plugged fluid lines or damage to a supply line. Refer to Service Procedure TS013 for installation instructions.
The Paddle Bar Replacement Kits includes the Paddle Bar Assembly and tools required for the installation. The Paddle Bar functions as both a paddle mixer and heater with embedded sensors to allow for independent heat regulation at each position. Refer to Service Procedure TS021 for installation instructions.
The TDF72 upgrade kit is needed to run the AOAC 2009.01/2011.25 methods on an ANKOMTDF Dietary Fiber Analyzer.
The kit includes:
- a registration code to unlock the software functionality
- a buffer container for the sodium maleate buffer (1,000ml)
- an acetic acid container (175ml)
- a trizma base container (40ml)
- an Amylase/AMG container (40ml)
- 6-TDF97 glass filtrate cups (500ml)
Information about the reagents and enzymes used for these methods can be found in the TDF Dietary Fiber Analyzer Operator's Manual Addendum.
The In-Line Heater Assembly is a regulated heat exchanger that pre-heats certain fluids during delivery. Refer to Service Procedure TS018 for installation instructions.
The In-Line Heater Assembly is a regulated heat exchanger that pre-heats certain fluids during delivery. Refer to Service Procedure TS018 for installation instructions.
The TDF Thermistor Assembly is used to monitor and regulate the power input to the In-line heater to maintain a steady temperature. This is important when pre-heating fluids during rinses and 95% alcohol delivery.
Before doing a dietary fiber assay, you should label the filter bags in order to properly record results.
Use this marker for labeling the filter bags.
Inside the zipper bag are desiccant packs that absorb moisture within the bag.
To avoid negatively impacting your assay results with unwanted moisture, use these assemblies to store filter bags while they are cooling after being dried.
The TDF107 Synthetic Grease w/PTFE is a non-toxic lubricant used to minimize friction within the peristaltic pump, thereby extending the life of peristaltic pump tubing.
For application instructions, see TDF Service Procedure 28.
