SER 148 Series - Solvent Extractors
Safe and convenient semi-automated extraction system suitable for fat extraction and sample preparation in a wide range of applications in food, feed, environmental and other industrial segments.
The reliable solution for solvent extraction
The SER 148/3 and SER 148/6 can be used to separate a substance or a group of elements from solid and semi-solid samples according to the Randall technique (consisting of Immersion, washing and solvent Recovery).
As for the automatic version SER 158, the main field of application is the determination of the content of soluble products such as fats, detergents, plasticizers and pesticides in food, animal feeds, detergents, rubber and plastic formulas, pharmaceutical products, soil.
The SER 148 Series is a semi-automatic solution with no compromises on operator safety (IP55) and solvent consumption also guaranteeing a limited cost per analysis.
Combined to HU6 Hydrolysis Unit, is possible to use the same crucibles to prevent any possible sample loss between the two units.
Randall Method, Faster Results
Perform single or multiple solvent extractions with Randall method, an improvement of Soxhlet technique, as hot solvents are used to speed up the analysis. In fact, the fast solubilization made by hot solvent permits a considerable reduction of the extraction time (approx. 90 minutes).
The extraction is made by immersion of the sample in the boiling solvent, followed by a rinsing phase with cold solvent.
Maximum reproducibility is ensured, as well as a high recovery rate of the solvent used.
