Eisco Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus

Soxhlet extraction apparatus consisting of boiling flask, extractor, and condenser, all made from high quality borosilicate glass.

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, aromatic alcohols, and other products of botanical extraction, food testing, biofuels and environmental analysis of soils, sludge, and wastes. Assembled from three separate sections: Boiling flask, extractor chamber, and condenser. Interchangeable standard joints. Autoclavable, with superior chemical durability. Low temperature gradient - can withstand high temperatures and thermal shocks.
