Flexible Multi-Sample Extraction CapabilityAccommodating 3, 6, or 12 extraction flasks, this unit is designed for laboratories with varying throughput needs. Each station is independently heated with detachable hot plates, allowing simultaneous or staggered extraction processes. The system is manual, giving users full operational control and making it suitable for both routine and specialized applications such as fat and solvent content estimation.
Precision and Safety FocusedEvery extraction station features an individual energy regulator and analog display or indicator lamp, ensuring precise control of temperature (up to 350C) for consistent results. Fused protection for each heater, alongside integrated overheat protection, safeguards both users and samples. The powder-coated exterior offers durability and excellent resistance against harsh chemicals.
Robust Laboratory Construction and GlasswareManufactured with a mild steel body and borosilicate glass components, the unit withstands demanding laboratory environments. The epoxy powder-coated finish protects against corrosion, while the water-cooled condenser assures effective sample cooling and solvent recovery. Its compact, rectangular bench-top structure fits neatly in most lab spaces, supporting efficient workflow.
FAQs of Hot Plate Type Soxhlet Extraction Unit:
Q: How does the Hot Plate Type Soxhlet Extraction Unit operate in a laboratory setting?
A: This Soxhlet extraction unit uses individual hot plate heaters, each regulated separately, to heat the extraction flasks. The system operates manually, allowing precise control over process timing and temperature. Glassware assemblies include flasks, condensers, siphon tubes, and extraction chambers, enabling efficient solvent extraction for applications like fat analysis.
Q: What are the benefits of having individually controlled hot plates in this extraction unit?
A: Individually controlled hot plates ensure that each position can be set to a specific temperature, providing optimal conditions for simultaneous or different extractions. This enhances productivity and allows researchers to tailor extraction protocols for various sample requirements.
Q: When should I use a multiple-position extraction unit instead of a single-place model?
A: A multi-position unit is recommended when higher sample throughput is required or when multiple samples need to be processed under similar or varying conditions. Laboratories conducting routine quality control or research testing often prefer these configurations to save time and improve workflow.
Q: Where is this Soxhlet extraction unit typically installed?
A: This model is a bench-top unit, suitable for placement on standard laboratory benches. Its compact dimensions (450 x 270 x 360 mm) make it ideal for most laboratory environments, including research facilities, quality control labs, and academic settings.
Q: What safety features are integrated into the Soxhlet extraction unit?
A: The unit incorporates fused protection for each heating element and overheat protection to prevent damage and ensure user safety. The epoxy powder-coated finish also adds chemical and corrosion resistance, enhancing durability.
Q: How long does the extraction process typically take with this unit?
A: Extraction time generally ranges between 2 to 6 hours, depending on the sample type, solvent used, and extraction parameters set by the operator. The units adjustable heating enables fine-tuning for optimal extraction efficiency.
Q: What is included with the Hot Plate Type Soxhlet Extraction Unit package?
A: Each unit comes equipped with borosilicate glassware: extraction flasks (500 ml capacity), condensers, siphon tubes, and extraction chambers. All necessary components for immediate setup and extraction are provided.
