Buchi Dist Line

The BUCHI Dist Line is a family of steam distillation instruments engineered for reliable, reproducible separation of volatile analytes from complex matrices. Built around a robust steam generator with adjustable output and integrated safety monitoring, the Dist Line delivers accurate results across food, environmental, beverage and chemical laboratories. Three configurations — EasyDist, BasicDist and MultiDist — let laboratories match automation and throughput to their workload, from occasional manual runs to fully automated sequences with integrated titration.

Key specifications:

• Adjustable steam power: 10–100 %, with programmable steam ramps for method flexibility

• MaxAccuracy mode with integrated voltage stabilizer for reproducible steam delivery

• AutoDist function for automated, reproducible start of distillation

• Optional integrated titration for direct quantification after distillation

• Intelligent cooling water flow control that minimizes water consumption

• Sensor-based safety monitoring with automatic shutdown on shield opening

• Compatible with 100, 300 and 500 mL BUCHI sample tubes

Available models:

• EasyDist — entry-level manual steam distillation

• BasicDist — semi-automated distillation with programmable methods

• MultiDist — fully automated distillation with reagent addition and titration

Applications:

• Nitrogen and protein determination (TKN, TVBN) in food, feed and fertilizers

• Alcohol, essential oils and volatile acids in beverages and wine

• Sulfite (SO2), cyanide, phenol and formaldehyde determination

• Nitrite and nitrate analysis in water, soil and wastewater

• VDK (vicinal diketones) analysis in beer and dairy
