Description
KT2-500 Kjeltabs catalyst tablets are pre-dosed tablets containing 5 g potassium sulfate (K2SO4), 0,15 g copper sulfate (CuSO4) and 0,15 g titanium dioxide (TiO2) for Kjeldahl nitrogen determination. Each tablet delivers a defined salt and catalyst charge that supports efficient wet digestion of organic matrices in sulfuric acid. The potassium sulfate component elevates the boiling point of the digestion mixture, while copper sulfate and titanium dioxide act as catalysts to accelerate breakdown of nitrogen-containing samples. Packaged as 500 pieces, the tablets remove the need to weigh individual catalyst salts for every sample and help standardise routine protein and total nitrogen workflows. They are intended for classical Kjeldahl digestion blocks and related apparatus used in food, feed, agricultural and environmental laboratories. Produced by Behr, KT2-500 tablets offer a convenient, ready-to-use format that reduces handling steps and supports reproducible digestion conditions across series of analyses. Suitable for laboratories seeking consistent catalyst dosing without preparing bulk salt mixtures.

Questions about KT2-500
What is this article?
KT2-500 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Behr for laboratory use. It sits in Reagents for analysis (Ph. Eur., ASTM, DIN), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A reagent for analysis is a chemical whose impurities are limited so they do not become a signal in a titration, a digestion or a photometric method. Pharmacopoeia, ASTM and DIN names point at different limit lists. The grade, not only the identity, is the purchase.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
Which category should I open next?
