SX-6 MP extractors are designed to follow the Randall method, a standardized method which is much faster than the traditional Soxhlet method.
The equipment allows independent programming of temperature and extraction times, facilitating the analysis of a wide range of analytes according to the specific needs of each sample.
The cooling water regulation system reduces the amount of cooling water consumption, an external recirculating cooler can also be connected. Smaller extraction cups lower the required quantity of solvents for extraction.
Easy to clean and corrosion resistant external frame made of stainless steel grade AISI-304 with epoxy coating. A pressure switch protects the condensers from high pressure water. Different gaskets according to solvent used are also available.
SX-6 MP is a semiautomatic extractor, for each phase change the equipment makes an acoustic signal, warning the user that a change of samples position is required and thus the user does not need to continuously monitor the entire analysis.
After the extraction process is complete, SX-6 MP allows the recovery of most of the solvent. This solvent can be reused in subsequent tests, significantly reducing the cost of the analysis.
Control of temperature by PID microprocessor and a Pt100 class A temperature probe, overtemperature safety control by an independent thermocouple.
Fat content analysis with SX-6 MP extractors are performed in accordance to official methods described by international entities such as AOAC, AACC, ISO, EPA and DIN in order to guarantee accurate results.
