Soxhlet extractors

Soxhlet extraction instruments

Soxhlet extraction is exhaustive and rugged and the principle remains as the mostly used and regulatorily demanded method for many sample matrices. We offer quick and compliant true Soxhlet with the cost-efficient FatExtractor E-500 or E-800. This method obliterates the need for time-consuming validation of other extraction methods deviating from the standard, while guaranteeing the most accurate analytical performance possible. Because of its reliability, Soxhlet extraction is also used as a reference method for NIR calibrations.
