This connects power to the Paddle Bar.

This solid state relay is used in the following ANKOM instruments: XT10/XT10I, XT15/XT15I, HCl/HClI, TDF/TDFI, DELTA/DELTAI, A2000/A2000I, FLEX/FLEXI. It is used to control power to the AC heaters.

This filter prevents solid material from entering the instrument through the fluid container.

The adhesive gasket is used on the rear B & D clamp bars to ensure a good seal of the IDF and SDF bags during digestions or the precipitation phase.

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 .

This is a maintenance tool used to clean the (6) 0.020" (0.5mm) holes in the spray tip.

Useful in the AOAC 2009.01/2011.25 methods, this cup is used to capture the filtrate that comes through the SDF Filter Bag.

The TDF120 In-Line heater Core is used to replace leaking brass tubing on the In-Line Heater. It includes connected silicone tubing for ease of installation. The heater cartridge and thermistor (temp sensor) are not included in this assembly.

The TDF129 kit provides all the tubing and parts necessary to perform the annual maintenance for a TDF instrument. This includes all the supply tubing, delivery tubing, enzyme tubing, and all related tubing plus several parts that can fatigue over...

The nitrogen check valve prevents fluid back-up from the 12 IDF/SDF delivery lines into the pneumatic lines.

This is a chemical container used for supplying 95% EtOH to the instrument.

This part provides for the proper flow of fluids as they enter the filter bags.

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.

This container is used with the AOAC 2009.01/2011.25 methods.

This clamp bar is used in the SDF part of the instrument to close the Filter Bag just above the filter.

The TDF Torsion Bar is used in the ANKOM TDF Dietary Fiber Analyzer to provide torsion adequate to support the front safety cover of the instument.

The Moisture Stop Weigh Pouch contains a desiccant packet which absorbs moisture within the zipper bag. It is used when cooling and weighing filter bags to avoid unwanted absorption of moisture in the dried samples which would skew results.

The pneumatically operated Enzyme Pinch Valve-N.O. regulates the input of enzymes. Refer to Service Procedure Pinch Valve Replacement (Enzymes) (TS009) for installation instructions.

The Drain Tray collects waste fluids and funnels them through the Drain Tray Tube to a drain or a collection container provided by the user.
