The fully automated Soxtec™ 2050 system is used for fast and safe determinations of soluble material in food, feed, soil, polymers, paper pulp, textiles, etc. It performs the four extraction steps boiling, rinsing, solvet recovery and cup lifting unattended, just load, start then walk away.
When the sample has been loaded, the solvent is added in a closed, secure system. The solvent dispenser, automatic solvent recovery and build-in fume hood limit solvent vapour to a minimum, thus ensuring a safe working environment. The systems are build according to strict EC directives, which makes the Soxtec™ systems explosion-safe.
The automatic shutdown feature permits “out-of-hours” operations allowing for high throughput of up to seven extractions, 42 samples per day. Batch handling tools ensure fast and safe handling of samples and cups.
Accuracy
No touching or mixing of samples is ensured with the batch handling tools
The Soxtec™ follows official approvals, AOAC 991.36 (fat in meat), AOAC 2003.06 (fat in feed) and EPA 3541 (PAH in soil).
A fully automatic system ensures repeatable analysis conditions.
Safety
No need for handling of hot cups or thimbles when using the batch handling tools improves the operator’s safety.
Minimised contact with solvents through solvent addition kit and automatic solvent recovery.
For maximum safety the system follow strict EC safety standards
Adjustable over-temperature setting ensures that the ignition point never is reached for any solvent.
Values
Five times faster than Soxhlet through rapid solvent extraction by lowering the sample in the first step into the hot solvent (boiling step), then raise it above solvent level for rinsing (rinsing step).
Low solvent consumption - each sample consumes ~16 ml, giving low solvent and disposal costs.
Built in fume hood save space in the fume hood by connecting the system directly to ventilation.
Load, start, walk away…time and money savings on low operator dependency. With a fully automatic system
Overnight operation iincreases the sample throughput.
Cooling water is on only during the extraction.
The glass and Teflon interface permits metal sensitive application as environmental applications
