Protein Analysis in Dairy Products with LECO – Part 2
In the second part of this blog series, we will detail a comparison test for determining non-protein nitrogen (NPN) and non-casein nitrogen (NCN).
Protein Analysis in Dairy Products with LECO—Part 1
We are introducing a short series of blog posts to explore the benefits of the Dumas method of protein determination with a focus on milk and milk products.
Global Provider of Food and Beverage Testing Services Relies on LECO’s FP928
Unlike the Kjeldahl method, the Dumas method avoids toxic acids, making it safer for the environment and health. It is also simpler, faster, and more sustainable. Many food labs now prefer or supplement the Kjeldahl method with the Dumas method for protein determination in food and feed.
Choosing the Right Sample Container for Organic Analysis
When determining total nitrogen (or protein) of a sample using LECO’s FP828, it is crucial to select the right sample container for the job. Several key considerations must be taken into account, like the sample mass capacities of the container, compatibility of the container with the matrix, ash production, and more.
The Importance of Precise Nitrogen Testing in Polymer and Plastic Manufacturing
In the world of plastics and polymers, precision matters. From everyday items to high-performance materials, the quality and consistency of polymers directly impacts their functionality. One often overlooked but critical aspect of polymer production is Nitrogen testing.

Balanced Soil: Carbon, Nitrogen, and Sulfur Determination with the CNS928
LECO’s CNS928 carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur determinator can take uncertainty out of soil ratios when determining fertilization for crop growth.
Optimized Combustion for lower-level Nitrogen Samples in Foods
Nitrogen content in food materials is necessary to measure when determining the total protein content. Performing this measurement using classical “wet chemistry” can be slow and tedious. The combustion-based Dumas method significantly increases laboratory productivity; when the sample has a low-level of nitrogen, however, it poses unique challenges.
