Hydrotec™ 8000
The Hydrotec™ 8000 is ideal for the busy laboratory requiring high throughput of samples. It is an innovative fully automated system that performs automated acid hydrolysis without sample transfer. It has a small footprint and unique batch-handling features.
Overview
Value
Fully automated acid hydrolysis system. Patented HydroCap™ – single use filter system. Reduced foot print and batch handling of 12 samples.
Sample Type
Feed, Feed ingredients, Forage, Pet food, Food, Food ingredients, Grain, Cereal, Meat, Meat products, Fish, Fish products and Dairy products.
Parameters
Total Fat
Features
Acid hydrolysis
In some cases the fat is chemically or mechanically bound to e.g. carbohydrates, salts or proteins. Acid hydrolysis breaks these bonds – making it possible to extract the fat.
Accessories
Chemicals are added and removed by pump, improving safety and reducing the risk of human error, Water rinse is performed automatically, The system is closed and releases no fumes
Simplified process
This unique patented Hydrocap™ filter contains the sample from the initial weighing, through hydrolysis to final extraction; avoiding sample transfer errors. It is a fully automated system that performs automated acid hydrolysis and Randall improved Soxhlet extraction in one integrated process.
Batch Handling Tools
Batch handling, with no sample transfer, is used throughout the procedure. Boiling, rinsing and filtration are performed under reproducible and controlled conditions. The system offers substantial savings in terms of operator time, as well as improved analytical precision compared to manual methods.
