Hydrotec™ 8000 - fully automated hydrolysis device

The Hydrotec™ 8000 unit performs automated acid hydrolysis of samples to break up bonds between fat and other components. Chemicals are added and removed by pump, improving safety and reducing the risk of human error.

Specifications

Sample: Processed food and feed samples that contain bound fat
Parameters: Hydrolysis, pre step for total fat determination
Sample size: 0.5-2.0 g
Measuring range: 0.1-100 % fat in combination with extraction
Hydrolysis time : typically 2 hours
Capacity per batch: 12 samples simultaneously

 

Soxtec™ 8000 - fully automatic extraction device

The Soxtec™ 8000 extraction unit is a fully automated system for fast and safe determinations of extractable matter. For total fat analysis, the Hydrocap filter is transferred from the hydrolysis unit to the extraction unit which then performs the four extraction steps boiling, rinsing, solvent recovery and auto shut down, fully unattended.

Specifications

Sample: Fat in food and feed, extractable matter in textile, paper pulp, plastics, rubber, etc.
Parameters: Crude fat, total fat and extractable matter
Sample size: 0.5-3.0 g depending on sample type
Measuring range: 0.1-100 %
Extraction time: 45-60 minutes depending on sample type
Solvent volume: 40-110 ml depending on cup type
Capacity per batch: 6/12 positions
Capacity per day: 42/84 samples

 

ST 243™ - semi-automatic extraction device

A three-step, six position solvent extraction system, consisting of an Extraction Unit and a Control Unit. The three-step extraction procedure consists of boiling, rinsing and recovery. Typically solvent recovery is 80%, with only ~10 ml solvent used per sample. Sample preparation prior to GC/HPLC work is also possible using a specially designed seal.

Specifications

Sample: Fat in food and feed, extractable matter in textile, paper pulp, plastics, rubber, etc.
Parameters: Crude fat, total fat and extractable matter
Thimble size: 26 x 60 mm (30 ml)
Measuring range: 0.1-100 % Fett
Extraction time: 40-60 minutes depending on sample type
Capacity per batch: 6 positions
Capacity per day: 30-36 samples

 

ST 245™ - semi-automatic extraction device

A three-step, two positions solvent extraction system that offers the same functions as the ST 243 Soxtec, but with 2 sample positions instead of 6.

Specifications

Sample: Fat in food and feed, extractable matter in textile, paper pulp, plastics, rubber, etc.
Parameters: Crude fat, total fat and extractable matter
Thimble size: 33 x 80 mm (65 ml)
Measuring range: 0.1-100 % Fett
Extraction time: 40-60 minutes depending on sample type
Capacity per batch: 2 positions
Capacity per day: 10-12 samples
