Eisco Labs Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus, 600ml - Borosilicate Glass

• Standard apparatus for the analytical extraction of solids.
• Made from high-quality, borosilicate 3.3 glass.
• Applications include the production of tinctures and aromatic alcohols, food testing, biofuels, environmental analysis of soils, sludge, and wastes.
• 600mL capacity.

The Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus is used in the extraction of lipids and other materials from a solid sample when the desired compound has a limited solubility in a solvent. It allows for unmonitored and unmanaged operation while efficiently recycling a small amount of solvent to dissolve a larger amount of material. Applications include the production of tinctures and aromatic alcohols; food testing; biofuels; and environmental analysis of soils, sludge, and wastes. Assembled from 3 separate sections: boiling flask, extractor chamber, and condenser. Interchangeable standard joints. Glass parts only; metal stands not included. Extractor chamber capacity: 600mL; flask capacity: 2,000mL.

Autoclavable, with superior chemical durability. Low temperature gradient - can withstand high temperatures & thermal shocks. Eisco Labs Borosilicate glass has the following heat tolerances: Strain Point 515°C | Annealing Point 565°C | Softening Point 820°C | Calibrated to contain.
