Soxtec™ 8000 extraction unit and Hydrotec™ hydrolysis unit, is the first fully automated solution for total fat analysis with the Soxhlet method.
Improved Features
With an extraction unit, a hydrolysis unit and a single Hydrocap filter that is common to both units, the Soxtec is able to perform both hydrolysis and Soxhlet analysis to be performed in a single integrated laboratory process. Other advances in automating fat analysis include a solvent dosage dial for improved safety and minimal operator time, smart water cooling only starting when required, self-adjusting hotplates to ensure optimal heat transfer to extraction cup and can be individually switched off.
Reducing Costs
A unique filter system that goes all the way through hydrolysis to final extraction allows users to avoid filter to filter transfer. This saves time and labor avoiding the risk of human error and associated costs. The optional extra six position unit in the extraction phases also allows batch handling up to 12 samples using the same control unit. There is also an automatic shutdown feature for non-operation hours to conserve power.
Safety Operations
The enclosed solvent dosage system and effective cooling help to avoid contact with solvents, chemicals or fumes. The extraction unit is also design to allow a broad range of solvents including ones considered unsafe.
The Soxtec™ 8000 extraction unit and Hydrotec™ hydrolysis unit is truly a reinvention in fat analysis. To mention just four advantages, a unique filter system avoids costly sample handling errors, an easy-to-use and enclosed solvent dosage improves safety and minimizes the use of solvents, smart water-cooling avoids unnecessary use of laboratory water. Overall, the system leads to a significant improvement in throughput in the laboratory. The ease and reduced cost that comes with the Hydrocap singe filter going all the way through from the weighing to hydrolysis and finally to extraction is only one of the many benefits that comes with this solution.
