Description
FatExtractor E-500 – Versatile, Fast & True Soxhlet Extraction
The FatExtractor E-500 delivers true versatility by allowing easy interchange between glass assemblies compliant with Soxhlet (SOX), Hot Extraction / Randall (HE), and Twisselmann (ECE) methods. This flexibility ensures the system adapts seamlessly to changing analytical requirements rather than limiting users to a single extraction technique. Laboratories benefit from exceptionally fast extraction times and minimal solvent consumption, particularly when operating in HE mode, making the FatExtractor E-500 both efficient and economical.
Soxhlet Extraction Made Faster
The FatExtractor E-500 significantly reduces time-to-result while delivering unprecedented daily sample throughput. This performance is achieved through a combination of optical sensors, powerful heating, and optimized glass assemblies. The fully automated Soxhlet process accelerates extraction cycles far beyond traditional glass setups, enabling laboratories to achieve faster and more consistent results without compromising accuracy.
True Soxhlet – Reliable and Regulation-Compliant
Soxhlet extraction remains the most widely accepted and regulatorily required method for many matrices due to its exhaustive and rugged nature. The FatExtractor E-500 provides true Soxhlet extraction in a cost-efficient and compliant manner, eliminating the need for time-consuming validation of alternative methods. Its high reliability ensures maximum analytical accuracy and makes it a trusted reference method for NIR calibrations.
