Parameters
Crude Fat, Total Fat and Extractable Matter
Features
Secure solvent dispensing & recovery
Flexible operation
The Soxtec™ 8000 Total Fat solution helps you respond to the demands of your customers, for example, you can do Total or Crude Fat analysis or both. It’s easy to increase capacity according to customer requirements with up to 12 position hydrolysis and six position extraction that is expandable to 12, all with individual hotplate control.
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.
