Manufacturer: FOSS, Denmark
Model: Soxtec™ 2043 Fat Extraction System
S/N: 520039692 (2043 Extraction Unit)
520039691 (2046 Control Unit)
Description:
The Soxtec™ 2043 is designed for rapid, safe and economic extraction of solid and semisolid materials. This has been achieved by applying a patented version of the Soxhlet extraction technique. It is designed for maximum user convenience through batch handling of six samples at a time.
The Soxtec 2043 is CE approved according to the LVD and EMC Directives. It consists of an Extraction Unit and a Control Unit. The extraction unit must be installed in a well ventilated fume hood (air flow 0,5 m/s). The sample to be analyzed is weighed into thimbles and inserted in the Extraction Unit. The cups are heated by the electrical heating plate. The 3-step extraction procedure consists of boiling, rinsing and recovery.
The system is flexible and suitable for a wide variety of applications in the food, feed, environmental and industrial segments. It is designed to work with all common solvents used for solvent extraction (we do not recommend the use of Diethyl ether due to the explosion risk when handling it.) Typical solvent recovery is 80%, only ~10 ml solvent is used per sample. Sample preparation prior to GC/HPLC work is also possible using a specially designed seal. The repeatability is equal to traditional technique (1% rel. or better).
Features and benefits:
• Only ~10 ml of solvent used per sample with the recovery system
• Separate timer functions for each extraction step make programming and procedure conveniently repeatable
• Accessories for batch handling improve laboratory efficiency
• Official approvals AOAC 991.36 (meat), AOAC 2003.05, 2003.06 (feed), SCAN-CM 49:93 (paper/pulp), EPA method 3541 (PAH in soil)
