Weighing boats aim to simplify Kjeldahl
analysis
Whatman weighing boats have been designed to simplify the handling of Kjeldahl samples
Because of the special folded shape, the weighing boat can be easily loaded with the sample and passed through the narrow neck of a Kjeldahl flask The weighing boats are designed to reduce the number of times needed to repeat the weighing steps in a Kjeldahl digestion

The boats also have been created to reduce the possibility of receiving inaccurate results due to a of loss of samples during transfer into the reaction flask.
The sample is transferred without loss and the paper dissolves residue-free in the digestion solution without affecting the analytical result in any way.
The weighing boats are made of nitrogen-free parchment paper and are produced without glue or other additives.
For determination of total proteins or total nitrogen the Kjeldahl weighing boats are the ideal vehicle for weighing and transferring the sample, safely and reliably.
The weighing boats can also be used for any other weighing application.
For example, if small quantities need to be transferred without loss from the balance to the reaction flask or vial.
To help laboratory personnel understand the benefits of using the Whatman Kjeldahl Weighing Boats the company is offering personal test sets to assess the products.
