Crude Fiber Analysis Procedure using the ANKOM
2000
Fiber Analyzer
To perform Crude Fiber analysis on prepared samples, follow the procedure detailed below.
1. Verify that the hot water supply is on and the drain hose is securely positioned in the drain.
2. Attach each Cubetainer hose first to the Cubetainer and then
to its specific chemical port. Port A is used for Crude Fiber
Acid solution. Port B is used for Crude Fiber Base solution.
IMPORTANT
The solutions are gravity fed into the instrument ports. The bottom of the solution level
must be at least 5” (13cm) above the port. The top of the solution level can be no more
than 20” (50cm) above either port or the solution will overflow into the drain.
3. Open the Vessel Lid.
4. Place the bag suspender with the samples into the Vessel.
5. Place the Bag Suspender Weight onto the Bag Suspender rod to hold the trays in place.
6. Turn the instrument’s Power Switch to the ON position. The Display will light and allow you to select an
analysis procedure.
IMPORTANT
If you are changing from one analytical method to another, flush the system before
running. See the “Flush Procedure” section of this manual for more information.
7. Press the arrow keys on the Keypad until you see “Select Crude Fib”
on the Display.
