Description
Soxtherm
Rapid extraction systems are designed to improve the efficiency and consistency of solid–liquid extraction processes, particularly for fat determination and related analyses. The SOXTHERM series applies an automated Soxhlet-based approach, enabling faster and more controlled extraction compared to conventional methods while maintaining high analytical accuracy.
The system supports simultaneous processing of multiple samples, significantly reducing extraction time through optimized heating and extraction cycles. Its automated workflow minimizes manual handling, improving reproducibility and standardization across analyses. Integrated solvent recovery further enhances efficiency by reducing solvent consumption and operational costs.
SOXTHERM is equipped with comprehensive process monitoring, including control of temperature, cooling water, and solvent parameters, ensuring stable and reliable operation. Safety features such as automatic shut-off and system monitoring allow for secure use, even during extended or unattended runs.
Available in various configurations, the system can be adapted to different throughput requirements and application needs, making it suitable for food, feed, environmental, and general laboratory extraction workflows.
Soxhlet Apparatus Manual
For laboratories working with established reference methods or requiring a manual approach, classic Soxhlet apparatus remains available as a complementary option. These systems provide a simple and well-established extraction technique, though with longer processing times and greater operator involvement compared to automated solutions.
Overall, SOXTHERM offers a balanced combination of efficiency, reproducibility, and operational control, supporting modern laboratories in optimizing extraction workflows while maintaining analytical reliability.
Hydrotherm
The HYDROTHERM is an advanced automated acid hydrolysis system designed for efficient and reproducible sample preparation in fat determination workflows, particularly according to the Weibull-Stoldt method. It automates all key steps of hydrolysis, including hydrochloric acid addition, controlled heating, filtration, and rinsing, significantly reducing manual handling and improving laboratory productivity.
Operating in a closed system, HYDROTHERM enhances laboratory safety by minimizing exposure to hot acids and fumes. The system ensures consistent digestion conditions, resulting in accurate and reproducible results across a wide range of food, feed, and environmental samples. With the ability to process multiple samples simultaneously and deliver high daily throughput, HYDROTHERM is well suited for routine and high-volume laboratory operations. Integrated controls and monitoring systems provide reliable process management and support audit-ready documentation for quality assurance.
Manual Hydrolysis Apparatus
For laboratories that require flexibility or prefer traditional workflows, manual hydrolysis apparatuses are available as an alternative. These classic systems allow users to perform acid hydrolysis manually, using components such as heating units, glass condensers, and filtration setups.
Manual hydrolysis provides full operator control over each step of the process, including heating, acid addition, filtration, and rinsing. This makes it suitable for smaller sample volumes, specialized methods, training environments, or laboratories with lower throughput requirements. While more labour-intensive than automated systems, manual apparatuses remain a reliable and cost-effective option for standard hydrolysis procedures.
